§ 300.111   Framework for annual management measures.

(a) Introduction. New management measures may be added and others modified through publication of a regulatory action in the Federal Register. The following framework process authorizes the implementation of measures that may affect the operation of the commercial or exploratory fisheries, gear, area restrictions, or changes in catch and/or effort.

(b) Preliminary notice. The Secretary of State shall publish preliminary notice in the Federal Register of the management measures adopted by the parties to the Convention.

(c) Procedure. At its annual meeting, usually in October or November, the Commission may recommend new measures and that established measures be modified, removed, or re-instituted. After public notice of those recommendations by the Secretary of State and opportunity for public comment, and after considering the impact of instituting the measures and any public comment received by the Secretary of State, the Assistant Administrator may implement the management measures by notice in the Federal Register, with immediate force and effect. The notification in the Federal Register will summarize new management measures, and respond to any public comments received by the Secretary of State on the preliminary notice.

(d) Types of management measures to be frameworked. Management measures that may be implemented by regulatory notice rather than by codified regulation are those that generally will not remain in effect for more than 12 months and include catch restrictions, time and area closures, and gear restrictions.

(e) The fishing season for all Convention Area species is December 1 through November 30 of the following year, unless otherwise set in specific CCAMLR conservation measures.
