Résumé
This final rule announces two actions: an inseason change to the regulations regarding the retention of Pacific halibut landed incidentally in the limited entry fixed gear primary sablefish fishery north of Pt. Chehalis, Washington (46[deg]53.30' N. lat.); and an inseason change to the cumulative limit for minor slope rockfish and darkblotched rockfish north of 40[deg]10.00' N. lat. in the commercial Pacific Coast groundfish limited entry trawl fishery. These actions, which are authorized by the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP), are intended to prevent exceeding the 2010 Area 2A Pacific halibut quota and to prevent exceeding the 2010 OY for darkblotched rockfish, an overfished species.
