The Caribbean Fishery Management Council (CFMC) is considering modifying the timing for the implementation of accountability measure (AM)-based closures in the Caribbean Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and specifying how often to revisit the modification. The Council is considering these management measures in order to ensure AM-based closures successfully achieve their conservation objective and, to the extent practicable, minimize adverse economic impacts to fishers and fishing communities, consistent with National Standard 8 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Following are the actions and management alternatives: The Draft Amendment consists of two actions: Action 1: Modify the timing for the implementation of AM-based closures in the EEZ; Alternative 1: No action. Continue AM-based closures resulting from an annual catch limit (ACL) overage beginning on December 31st of the closure year and extending backward into the year for the number of days neccesary to achieve the required reduction in landings. Preferred Alternative 2: Accountability measure-based closures resulting from an ACL overage will begin on September 30th of the closure year and would extend backward into the year for the number of days necessary to achieve the required reduction in landings. This closure start date would apply to all fishery management units (FMUs) for each of Puerto Rico commercial and recreational sectors, St. Thomas/St. John, St. Croix, and Caribbean-wide. If for any FMU in any year, the number of available days running from September 30th backward to the beginning of the year is not enough to achieve the required reduction in landings, then the additional days needed would be captured by extending the closure forward, beginning on October 1st and continuing for however many days are needed to fulfill the required reduction. Alternative 3: Accountability measure-based closures resulting from an ACL overage will begin on January 1st of the closure year and extend forward into the year for the number of days necessary to achieve the required reduction in landing. This closure start date would apply to all FMUs for each of Puerto Rico commercial and recreational sectors, St. Thomas/St. John, St. Croix, and Caribbean-wide. Alternative 4: Establish a fixed fishing closure start date for the implementation of AMs for each FMU by island/island group (A. Puerto Rico, B. St. Thomas/St. John, C. St. Croix, and D. Caribbean-wide). A different start date may be chosen for each FMU on each island/island group. The start date will begin on the last day of the identified month and go backward towards the beginning of the year. If for any FMU in any year, the number of days left in the year is not enough to achieve the required reduction in landings, then those additional days would be captured by extending the closure forward toward the end of the year.

ACTION: Notice of a correction to a public hearing on Amendments to the 
U.S. Caribbean Reef Fish, Spiny Lobster, and Corals and Reef Associated 
Plants and Invertebrates Fishery Management Plans: Timing of 
Accountability Measure-Based Closures.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Caribbean Fishery Management Council (CFMC) is considering 
modifying the timing for the implementation of accountability measure 
(AM)-based closures in the Caribbean Exclusive Economic Zone

[[Page 67385]]

(EEZ) and specifying how often to revisit the modification. The Council 
is considering these management measures in order to ensure AM-based 
closures successfully achieve their conservation objective and, to the 
extent practicable, minimize adverse economic impacts to fishers and 
fishing communities, consistent with National Standard 8 of the 
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
    Following are the actions and management alternatives:
    The Draft Amendment consists of two actions:
    Action 1: Modify the timing for the implementation of AM-based 
closures in the EEZ;
    Alternative 1: No action. Continue AM-based closures resulting from 
an annual catch limit (ACL) overage beginning on December 31st of the 
closure year and extending backward into the year for the number of 
days neccesary to achieve the required reduction in landings.
    Preferred Alternative 2: Accountability measure-based closures 
resulting from an ACL overage will begin on September 30th of the 
closure year and would extend backward into the year for the number of 
days necessary to achieve the required reduction in landings. This 
closure start date would apply to all fishery management units (FMUs) 
for each of Puerto Rico commercial and recreational sectors, St. 
Thomas/St. John, St. Croix, and Caribbean-wide. If for any FMU in any 
year, the number of available days running from September 30th backward 
to the beginning of the year is not enough to achieve the required 
reduction in landings, then the additional days needed would be 
captured by extending the closure forward, beginning on October 1st and 
continuing for however many days are needed to fulfill the required 
reduction.
    Alternative 3: Accountability measure-based closures resulting from 
an ACL overage will begin on January 1st of the closure year and extend 
forward into the year for the number of days necessary to achieve the 
required reduction in landing. This closure start date would apply to 
all FMUs for each of Puerto Rico commercial and recreational sectors, 
St. Thomas/St. John, St. Croix, and Caribbean-wide.
    Alternative 4: Establish a fixed fishing closure start date for the 
implementation of AMs for each FMU by island/island group (A. Puerto 
Rico, B. St. Thomas/St. John, C. St. Croix, and D. Caribbean-wide). A 
different start date may be chosen for each FMU on each island/island 
group. The start date will begin on the last day of the identified 
month and go backward towards the beginning of the year. If for any FMU 
in any year, the number of days left in the year is not enough to 
achieve the required reduction in landings, then those additional days 
would be captured by extending the closure forward toward the end of 
the year.
