Final Environmental Assessment/Final Regulatory Impact Review/Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for Amendment 83 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the GOA - Allocation of Pacific Cod Among Sectors in the Western and Central GOA

The preferred alternative for the proposed action would allocate the Western and Central GOA Pacific cod total allowable catches among the hook-and-line catcher vessel, hook-and-line catcher processor, pot CV, pot CP, trawl CV, trawl CP, and jig sectors based on catch history or other criteria.
