NMFS issues this final rule to amend the regulations governing the Atlantic swordfish fishery to: Reduce the annual total allowable catch (TAC) to 2,625 metric tons (mt) dressed weight (dw) via a split season (June 1 - May 31), decrease the minimum size to 73 cm (29 inches) cleithrum to caudal keel measure, eliminate the trip allowance for undersized fish, and make reporting requirements consistent with the current logbook program. The intent of this action is to rebuild the swordfish resource while allowing harvest of swordfish consistent with recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT).
