Description:This document amends three fishery management plans (FMPs) of the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council to include fisheries and waters around the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI) and the Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIA)1. These amendments affect United States domestic fisheries that offload or operate in Federal waters around the CNMI and the PRIA. Amendment 8 to the Bottomfish and Seamount Groundfish FMP would establish new permitting and reporting requirements for fisheries operating in the PRIA to improve the database for future decisions. Amendment 12 to the Crustaceans FMP would establish new permitting and reporting requirements for fisheries operating in the CNMI and in the PRIA, for the purpose of collecting and analyzing biological and economic information about the lobster fisheries and to improve the statistical base for conservation and management in the future. Amendment 6 to the Precious Corals FMP would establish new permitting and reporting requirements for the CNMI to encourage the acquisition and analysis of new information concerning the distribution, abundance, and ecology of precious corals.
