National Standard 1 GuidelinesSummary of 2016 RevisionsHMS Advisory PanelMay 9, 2017

Outline1. Background2. Rulemaking Objectives3. Provisions of Interest4. Questions

National Standard 1 (NS1) National Standard 1 is a critical component to theMSA’s success Requires that U.S. fisheries management:A. Prevent overfishingB. Achieve optimum yield NS1 guidelines provide guidance on how to achieverequirements (A) and (B)U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 3

Basis for Action 2007 MSA Reauthorization Introduced annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountabilitymeasures (AMs) requirements ACLs and AMs transformed federal fisheriesU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 4

2016 Revisions to the NS1 GuidelinesObjectives:1. Improve & streamline guidelines2. Address experience gained duringimplementation of ACLs & AMs3. Provide flexibility to address management issueswithin current statutory limitsDo not require revision of current FMPsU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 5

ACL FrameworkMaximum amount of catch withoutoverfishingOverfishing LimitCatch in Tons of a StockIncreasingAcceptable Biological CatchYear 1Addresses scientific uncertaintyand Council’s risk policyAnnual Catch LimitTriggers AMs; often ABCAnnual Catch TargetOptional, addresses managementuncertaintyMSA contains: Exceptions for international stocks and stocks with annual life cycleU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 6

Features of NS1 Final Rule1. Increasing stability to fisheries2. Increasing flexibility in rebuilding plans3. Determining adequate progress in rebuilding4. Determining which stocks require federal management5. Clarifying OY and FMP objectivesU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 7

Increasing stability to fisheriesA. Carrying over unused quota into the next yearB. Multi-year overfishing status determinationsU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 8

Carry-Over Approach #1: Utilizing ACL bufferU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 10

Carry-Over Approach #2: ABC Control RuleConsider the stock’s condition & the reason for the underage prior to carryingoverU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 11

Multi-year overfishing status determinations Agency reports on stock status annually Last year of data is often the most uncertain2.5F / MFMT ear20082009201020112012limitU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 13

Multi-year overfishing status determinations When data is uncertain, overfishing status determinations may be basedon a 3 year average Increases reporting consistency2.5F / MFMT 20112012OverfishinglimitF2010-2012/FMSYU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 14

Increasing flexibility in rebuilding plansCalculating Tmax for stocks that require 10 years to rebuild2009 Guidelines provided 1 method:1) Tmin generation time2016 Guidelines provides 3 methods:1) Tmin generation time2) Tmin*23) Time needed to rebuild to BMSY when fished at 75% of MFMTU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 17

Determining adequate progress in rebuildingAdequate progress is not being made if:1. F Frebuild or catch ACL, and AMs are not effective,or2. New and unexpected information significantly changesrebuilding expectationsU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 19

Determining which stocks require federal managementU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 21

Determining which stocks require federal management10 Factors To Consider:1.2.3.4.5.6.7.The stock is an important component of the marine environment.The stock is caught by the fishery.Whether an FMP can improve or maintain the condition of the stock.The stock is a target of a fishery.The stock is important to commercial, recreational, or subsistence users.The fishery is important to the Nation or to the regional economy.The need to resolve competing interests and conflicts among user groups and whether anFMP can further that resolution.8. The economic condition of a fishery and whether an FMP can produce more efficientutilization.9. The needs of a developing fishery, and whether an FMP can foster orderly growth.10. The extent to which the fishery is already adequately managed by states, bystate/Federal programs, by Federal regulations pursuant to other FMPs or internationalcommissions, or by industry self-regulation, consistent with the requirements of theMagnuson-Stevens Act and other applicable law.U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 22

Clarifying OY Relationship between OY and ACL Qualitative analyses of economic, ecological, andsocial factors are permissibleU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 24

FMP Objectives Managers should reassess the FMP’s managementobjectives on a regular basis.U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 25

The updated NS1 Guidelines: Provide tools to increase stability and flexibility withinfisheries management Do not establish any new requirements to revisemanagement plansU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 26

Next Steps Provide responses to NS1 questions posed bythe CCC Technical guidance as appropriateU.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries Page 27
