SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Section 648.21 (f)(2) requires the Regional Administrator to subtract any overages of Loligo squid commercial quota landed during Quarter I from the allocation for Quarter III. Accordingly, the Regional Administrator, based on dealer reports and other available information, has determined that there was a 5.6 percent overage in Quarter I Loligo squid directed fishery. Therefore, the quota for the directed fishery for Loligo squid in Quarter III is reduced from 6,435,130 lb (2,918.9 mt) to 5,733,152 lb (2,600.5 mt). The regulations governing the Atlantic mackerel, squid, and butterfish fisheries require notification to the public of this adjustment. Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
