Abstract

This Subpart of the International Fisheries Regulations implements the North Pacific Halibut Act of 1982 (Act) and is intended to supplement, not conflict with, the annual fishery management measures adopted by the International Pacific Halibut Commission (Commission) under the Convention between the United States and Canada for the Preservation of the Halibut Fishery of the Northern Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea (Convention). It concerns, among other things, a catch sharing plan and domestic management measures in waters in and off Alaska and fishing by U.S. Indian tribes. It shall be unlawful to fish for halibut except in accordance with the annual management measures and except in accordance with the catch sharing plans and domestic management measures. The Subpart also establishes a Charter halibut limited access program provides for charter halibut permits to be issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Various measures include reporting requirements.
