## Abstract

NMFS announces that the ceremonial and subsistence (C&S) harvest regulations for the Quileute Tribe were modified to extend the C&S fishery through midnight on Tuesday, October 15, 2002, with a possession and landing limit of 20 salmon per day, and all size restrictions suspended for the duration of the fishery. On September 26, 2002 the Northwest Regional Administrator, NMFS (Regional Administrator), determined that available catch and effort data indicated that the tribal overall quota of 60,000 chinook and 60,000 coho salmon had not been reached, and it was found that there was enough salmon left in the quotas to allow additional days of fishing in the C&S fishery. These actions were necessary to conform to the 2002 management goals.
