## Abstract

NMFS adds the city of Akutan to the list of western Alaska communities that are eligible to participate in the Community Development Quota (CDQ) programs, removes the authority to use scales to weigh total catch in the pollock CDQ fishery, and prohibits processor vessels from filling fish holding bins above the level of the viewing port. These actions are necessary to further the objectives of the CDQ programs. These actions are intended to extend benefits of the CDQ programs to an additional community and to improve monitoring of CDQ harvests.
