{"abstract":"NMFS announces that the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) submitted amendment 38 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (Groundfish FMP) to the Secretary of Commerce for review. If approved, amendment 38 would revise the Groundfish FMP to reflect the rebuilt status of yelloweye rockfish and the California stock of quillback rockfish, removing all references to their respective rebuilding plans from the FMP. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, NMFS also announces the availability of a draft EA that analyzes the potential effects of the action. NMFS requests public comment on the draft EA.","action":"Notice of availability of proposed fishery management plan amendment and associated draft Environmental Assessment (EA); request for comments.","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/2026/07/21/2026-14694.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"660","title":50}],"citation":"91 FR 45764","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2026-09-19","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments on amendment 38 must be received on or before Saturday, September 19, 2026.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Draft EA for Amendment 28 Groundfish FMP","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2026-1354-0003"},{"title":"Draft FMP Changes for Amendment 38 Groundfish FMP","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2026-1354-0002"}],"agency_name":"NOAA","documents":[{"comment_count":7,"comment_start_date":"2026-07-21","updated_at":"2026-09-20T01:56:02.039-04:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/NOAA-NMFS-2026-1354-0004","allow_late_comments":false,"id":"NOAA-NMFS-2026-1354-0004","comment_end_date":"2026-09-20","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":2,"id":"NOAA-NMFS-2026-1354","title":"Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; Fisheries Off West Coast States; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan; Amendment 38; 2027-28 Biennial Specifications and Management Measures"}],"document_number":"2026-14694","effective_on":null,"end_page":45765,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2026/07/21/2026-14694.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/21/2026-14694/magnuson-stevens-act-provisions-fisheries-off-west-coast-states-pacific-coast-groundfish-fishery","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2026-14694?publication_date=2026-07-21","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2026-07-21/2026-14694/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":325,"last_updated":"2026-09-22 14:15:07 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-07-21/pdf/2026-14694.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-14694.pdf?1784551517","publication_date":"2026-07-21","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2026/07/21/2026-14694.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0648-BO46":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0648-BO46"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Draft EA for Amendment 28 Groundfish FMP","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2026-1354-0003"},{"title":"Draft FMP Changes for Amendment 38 Groundfish FMP","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2026-1354-0002"}],"comments_count":7,"agency_id":"NOAA","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=NOAA-NMFS-2026-1354","supporting_documents_count":2,"docket_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2026-1354","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2026-1354-0004","regulation_id_number":"0648-BO46","title":"Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; Fisheries Off West Coast States; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan; Amendment 38; 2027-28 Biennial Specifications and Management Measures","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2026-09-21T08:55:04Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":45764,"subtype":null,"title":"Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; Fisheries Off West Coast States; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan; Amendment 38; 2027-28 Biennial Specifications and Management Measures","toc_doc":"Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan; Amendment 38; 202728 Biennial Specifications and Management Measures","toc_subject":"Fisheries off West Coast States","topics":[],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":91}
