What the agency says

Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), this final rule: adjusts the 2024 fishing year allocations to sectors and the common pool specified in Framework Adjustment 66 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (Framework 66); makes minor adjustments to common pool limits based on final 2023 fishing year catch information; and distributes sector annual catch entitlements carried over from fishing year 2023 into fishing year 2024 as required by regulation. The revisions are necessary to account for changes to 2024 sub-annual catch limits based on final 2024 sector rosters and to respond to a 2023 overage of Gulf of Maine (GOM) cod in the common pool. These adjustments are routine and formulaic, aiming to ensure that final allocations are determined using the most reliable scientific information available.
