This action announces the decision by NMFS to approve the State's recommended CDPs, including the percentage allocations of the multispecies groundfish CDQ reserves and prohibited species quota (PSQ) reserves to each CDP, with the exception of certain vessels listed in the CDPs that NMFS determined are ineligible for approval at this time. This action also announces the availability of findings underlying NMFS's decision. This action is intended to further the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
