Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI), Amendment 80 allocated several BSAI non-pollock trawl groundfish fisheries among fishing sectors, established a limited access privilege program, and facilitated the formation of harvesting cooperatives in the non-American Fisheries Act (non-AFA) trawl catcher/processor sector (hereinafter the "Program"). This action would remove the groundfish retention standard (GRS) program. National Marines Fisheries Service (NMFS) discovered that the regulatory methodology used to calculate compliance with and to enforce the GRS program require the sector to retain groundfish at a rate well above that considered by the Council or that implemented by NMFS. Monitoring and enforcement of the GRS have proven far more complex, challenging, and potentially costly than anticipated by NMFS. This action is necessary because the circumstances that justified the GRS rates have changed. This action is intended to mitigate higher than expected compliance costs of the GRS borne by the Amendment 80 sector. Furthermore, this action is needed to mitigate management and enforcement costs that were not foreseen when the regulation was promulgated.
