NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service manages the grouper and tilefish fisheries in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico under the Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan (FMP). This amendment (Reef Fish FMP Amendment 29) proposes to implement a transferable Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) program in the Gulf of Mexico commercial grouper and tilefish fisheries (RIN 0648-AX39). The Gulf of Mexico grouper and tilefish fisheries are overcapitalized. This overcapitalization has led to increasingly restrictive management measures, which in turn has led to derby fishery conditions. The IFQ program proposed is intended to reduce overcapacity and eliminate derby fishing conditions. This collection-of-information addresses IFQ share certificate and allocation debits and transfers, as well as effort information in the grouper and tilefish fisheries.
