Assessment/Regulatory Impact Review/Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for "The
Sitka Block" Proposed Amendment and "The Full/Partial Block" Proposed Amendment
and
"The Modified Block" Proposed Amendment to the Individual Fishing Quota Management
Alternative for Fixed Gear Sablefish and Halibut Fisheries - Gulf of Alaska and
Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands. December 17, 1993.
Abstract:
This final draft report for Secretarial Review contains an analysis of the "Modified Block" Proposed Amendment adopted
by the Council at their September 1993 meeting. It also contains the analyses of the Sitka Block and Full/Partial Block
alternatives covered in the earlier reports. An executive summary is included to compare and contrast the different block
proposals.
These analyses were prepared at the request of the State of Alaska for the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council. It extends an earlier Discussion Draft report
and provides EA/RIR/IRFA analyses of the alternatives.
The June 1993 report provided a draft report for the Council's review. At the June 1993 NPFMC meeting in Kodiak, the
council voted to send the analyses out for public review. The July 1993 draft report for public review extensively edited
and revised the June 1993 report. The December 17, 1993 includes an analysis of the "modified block proposal" adopted
by the Council at its June 1993 meeting.
