  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS issues a final rule that revises the seabird avoidance 
measures for the Alaska hookandline groundfish and halibut fisheries. 
The final rule strengthens gear standards for small vessels and 
eliminates certain seabird avoidance requirements that are not needed. 
This action is necessary to revise seabird avoidance measures based on 
the latest scientific information and to reduce unnecessary regulatory 
burdens and associated costs.
