NMFS issues a proposed rule to amend portions of the regulations implementing the Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program for the Pacific halibut and sablefish fixed gear fisheries in and off of Alaska. This proposed rule also would eliminate a prohibition pertaining to IFQ sablefish in the regulations governing the groundfish fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). After the first year of the IFQ Program's operation, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) and NMFS recognize aspects of the program that need further refinement. This action is necessary to make those refinements and is intended to improve the ability of NMFS to manage the Pacific halibut and sablefish fixed gear fisheries.
