{"abstract":"NMFS announces final 2019 and 2020 harvest specifications, apportionments, and Pacific halibut prohibited species catch limits for the groundfish fishery of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary to establish harvest limits for groundfish during the remainder of the 2019 and the start of the 2020 fishing years and to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska. The 2019 harvest specifications supersede those previously set in the 2018 and 2019 harvest specifications, and the 2020 harvest specifications will be superseded in early 2020 when the final 2020 and 2021 harvest specifications are published. The intended effect of this action is to conserve and manage the groundfish resources in the GOA in accordance with the Magnuson- Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.","action":"Final rule; harvest specifications and closures.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","id":361,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/361","parent_id":54,"slug":"national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2019/03/14/2019-04538.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":679,"title":50}],"citation":"84 FR 9416","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Harvest specifications and closures are effective at 1200 hours, Alaska local time (A.l.t.), March 14, 2019, through 2400 hours, A.l.t., December 31, 2020.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. 180831813-9170-02"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2019-04538","effective_on":"2019-03-14","end_page":9449,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2019/03/14/2019-04538.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/03/14/2019-04538/fisheries-of-the-exclusive-economic-zone-off-alaska-gulf-of-alaska-final-2019-and-2020-harvest","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2019-04538?publication_date=2019-03-14","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2019-03-14/2019-04538/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":34,"page_views":{"count":1412,"last_updated":"2026-08-25 20:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-03-14/pdf/2019-04538.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2019-04538.pdf?1552481118","publication_date":"2019-03-14","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2019/03/14/2019-04538.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0648-XG47":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0648-XG47"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2019-05-24T16:51:05Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":9416,"subtype":null,"title":"Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Gulf of Alaska; Final 2019 and 2020 Harvest Specifications for Groundfish","toc_doc":"Gulf of Alaska; Final 2019 and 2020 Harvest Specifications for Groundfish","toc_subject":"Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska:","topics":[],"type":"Rule","volume":84}
