Description:In October 2006, NMFS finalized the Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (2006 Consolidated HMS FMP) and issued implementing regulations, including regulations for the Atlantic bluefin tuna fishery, to meet the requirements of the Magnuson- Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). This action is necessary to implement recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) pursuant to the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA) and to achieve domestic management objectives under the Magnuson-Stevens Act. This action would, for the 2013 fishing year, adjust the U.S. quota and subquotas to account for BFT dead discards and unharvested 2012 quota allowed by ICCAT to be carried forward to 2013. The currently codified quotas were established via a 2011 final rule (76 FR 39019, July 5, 2011).
