Snapper Grouper Regulatory
Amendment 26 (Recreational
Visioning)
The draft regulatory amendment
contains actions to address recreational
measures as identified in the Council’s
Vision Blueprint for the Snapper
Grouper Fishery. The amendment
proposes modifying the species
composition of recreational aggregates
to better reflect how fishermen are
currently fishing and allow more
focused management measures (i.e., for
deep-water species). Alternatives for
aggregate bag limits, minimum size
limits and gear requirements are
included. The regulatory amendment
also proposes modification to the
spawning season closure for red grouper
off the North and South Carolina coasts
and modifying the minimum size limit
for gray triggerfish off the east coast of
Florida to bring consistency with
regulations in state waters.
Snapper Grouper Regulatory
Amendment 27 (Commercial Visioning)
The draft regulatory amendment
contains actions to address commercial
measures as identified in the Council’s
Vision Blueprint for the Snapper
Grouper Fishery. The amendment
addresses concerns over equitable
access for commercial fishermen fishing
in the snapper grouper fishery and

proposes measures to help minimize
discards. The regulatory amendment
includes actions for split commercial
seasons for blueline tilefish, snowy
grouper, greater amberjack, and red
porgy. The amendment also includes
actions to modify the commercial trip
limit for blueline tilefish, greater
amberjack, red porgy, and vermilion
snapper. Other measures include
specifying a minimum size limit for
almaco jack, implementing a trip limit
for the Other Jacks complex, extending
the seasonal closure for red grouper in
federal waters off North Carolina and
South Carolina, removing the minimum
size limit for three deep-water snappers,
and reducing the commercial minimum
size limit for gray triggerfish off the east
coast of Florida.
During the public hearings, Council
staff will present an overview of each
amendment and will be available for
informal discussions and to answer
questions via webinar. Area Council
members will be present at each of the
Listening Stations. Members of the
public will have an opportunity to go on
record to offer their comments for
consideration by the Council.

Title: West Coast Region Groundfish
Trawl Fishery Monitoring and Catch
Accounting Program.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0619.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (revision
and extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 153.
Average Hours per Response: 10
hours for a Provider permit, 2 hours for
an annual renewal, 4 hours each for
appeals and catch monitoring plans; 2
hours for an inspection; 10 minutes for
first receiver reports; 1 minute for
Pacific whiting disposition
recordkeeping; 30 minutes for daily atsea scale testing reports, 10 minutes for
daily at-sea scale catch and cumulative
weight reports, 1 minute each for at-sea
scale audit trail, at-sea scale calibration
log, and at-sea scale fault log, and 0
minutes for at-sea scale video
monitoring.
Burden Hours: 447.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection.
In January 2011, the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration’s
(NOAA) National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) implemented a trawl
rationalization program, a catch share
program, for the Pacific coast groundfish
fishery’s trawl fleet. The program was
developed through Amendment 20 to
the Groundfish Fishery Management
Plan (FMP), under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and consists of an
individual fishing quota (IFQ) program
for the shorebased trawl fleet (including
whiting and non-whiting fisheries); and
cooperative (coop) programs for the atsea mothership (MS) and catcher/
processor (C/P) trawl fleets (whiting
only). Fixed allocations to the limited
entry trawl fleet were developed
through a parallel process with
Amendment 21 to the FMP. The
regulations implementing the program
were effective January 1, 2011; all of the
necessary tracking systems to make the
program operational became active on
January 11, 2011, the date fishing began
under the new program. Since that time,
the Council and NMFS have been
addressing implementation issues as
they arise. To achieve individual
accountability for catch and bycatch and
track total catch, the shorebased IFQ
Program is subject to 100 percent
monitoring both at-sea and dockside. In
addition to 100 percent monitoring atsea, motherships and catcher/processors
are subject to flow scale requirements
that include daily testing, reporting, and
an annual inspection.
