Observer sightings in the Cook Inlet salmon driftnet and setnet fisheries.

This is an overview of the Observer program for the Yakutat salmon set gillnet fishery.

NMFS proposes an administrative structure that provides notice to the public of the IFQ fee percentage while removing any discretionary authority from NMFS in calculating the fee percentage. Calculation of the fee percentage under this action would become a purely ministerial duty conducted by NMFS. The proposed action would not affect the ex-vessel value determination under either program or affect the current structure or administration of the standard prices calculated for the Halibut and Sablefish IFQ Program or the Catcher/Processor Ex-vessel Values calculated for the Crab Rationalization Program. However, NMFS would make minor changes to the current fee regulations to ensure full compliance with the AP A while improving administrative efficiency. The proposed action would accomplish the following three goals if approved:

Environmental Assessment, Regulatory Impact Review, and Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for Amendments 65/65/12/7/8 to Provide Habitat Areas of Particular Concern.

Review of potential critical habitat and assessment of the extinction risk for North Pacific right whales.
