Revisions to Framework Adjustment 56 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan

The Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan is revising the 2017 Georges Bank cod allocation for the common pool, making minor adjustments to the 2017 sector carryover and annual catch entitlement. This change is necessary to correct an overage in the Georges Bank cod allocation for the common pool fishery and rectify an error in the available carryover and annual catch entitlement for sectors in 2017.
