## Abstract

NMFS announces the approval of Amendment 14 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and issues a final rule to implement portions of it. Amendment 14 creates a permit stacking program for limited entry permits with sablefish endorsements. This permit stacking program will lengthen the duration of the limited entry, fixed gear primary sablefish fishery. It is intended to increase safety in that fishery, to provide flexibility to participants, and to reduce capacity in the limited entry fixed gear fleet.
