When NMFS notifies the owner, operator, permit holder, or the manager of a harvesting vessel of any requirement to carry an observer, the harvesting vessel may not be used to fish for groundfish without carrying an observer. (2) Processing vessels. Unless specified otherwise by the Observer Program, any vessel 125 ft (38.1 m) LOA or longer that is engaged in at-sea processing must carry two certified observers pro cured from a permitted observer pro vider, and any vessel shorter than 125 ft (38.1 m) LOA that is engaged in at-sea processing must carry one certified ob server procured from a permitted ob server provider, each day that the ves sel is used to take, retain, receive, land, process, or transport groundfish. Owners of vessels required to carry ob servers under this paragraph must ar range for observer services from a per mitted observer provider except when the Observer Program has determined and given notification that the vessel must carry NMFS staff or an indi vidual authorized by NMFS in addition to or in lieu of an observer provided by a permitted observer provider. (b) Notice of departure—basic rule. At least 24 hours (but not more than 36 hours) before departing on a fishing trip, a harvesting vessel that has been notified by NMFS that it is required to carry an observer, or that is operating in an active sampling unit, must notify NMFS (or its designated agent) of the vessel’s intended time of departure. No tice will be given in a form to be speci fied by NMFS. (1) Optional notice—weather delays. A harvesting vessel that anticipates a de layed departure due to weather or sea conditions may advise NMFS of the an ticipated delay when providing the basic notice described in paragraph (b) of this section.

(2) Optional notice—back-to-back fish ing trips. A harvesting vessel that in tends to make back-to-back fishing trips (i.e., trips with less than 24 hours between offloading from one trip and beginning another), may provide the basic notice described in paragraph (b) of this section for both trips, prior to making the first trip. A vessel that has given such notice is not required to give additional notice of the second trip. (c) Cease fishing report. Within 24 hours of ceasing the taking and retain ing of groundfish, vessel owners, opera tors, or managers must notify NMFS or its designated agent that fishing has ceased. This requirement applies to any harvesting or processing vessel that is required to carry an observer, or that is operating in a segment of the fleet that NMFS has identified as an active sampling unit. (d) Waiver. The West Coast Regional Administrator (or designate) may pro vide written notification to the vessel owner stating that a determination has been made to temporarily waive cov erage requirements because of cir cumstances that are deemed to be be yond the vessel’s control.

Groundfish species taken in open access fisheries will be man aged with cumulative trip limits (see trip limits in Tables 3 (North) and 3 (South) of this subpart), size limits (see § 660.60(h)(5)), seasons (see seasons in Tables 3 (North) and 3 (South) of this subpart), gear restrictions (see para graph (b) of this section), and closed areas (see paragraph (d) of this section and §§ 660.70 through 660.79). Unless oth erwise specified, a vessel operating in the open access fishery is subject to, and must not exceed any trip limit, fre quency limit, and/or size limit for the open access fishery. Cowcod retention is prohibited in all fisheries and groundfish vessels operating south of Point Conception must adhere to CCA restrictions (see paragraph (d)(11) of this section and § 660.70). Retention of yelloweye rockfish is prohibited in all open access fisheries. For information on the open access daily/weekly trip limit fishery for sablefish, see § 660.332 of this subpart and the trip limits in Tables 3 (North) and 3 (South) of this subpart. Open access vessels are sub ject to daily or weekly sablefish limits in addition to cumulative limits for each cumulative limit period. Only one sablefish landing per week may be made in excess of the daily trip limit and, if the vessel chooses to make a landing in excess of that daily trip limit, then that is the only sablefish landing permitted for that week. The trip limit for black rockfish caught with hook-and-line gear also applies, see paragraph (e) of this section. Open access vessels that fish with non groundfish trawl gear or in the salmon troll fishery north of 40°10′ N lat. are subject the cumulative limits and closed areas (except the pink shrimp fishery which is not subject to RCA re strictions) listed in Tables 3 (North) and 3 (South) of this subpart. Federal commercial groundfish regulations are not intended to supersede any more re strictive state commercial groundfish regulations relating to federally man aged groundfish. (b) Gear restrictions. Open access gear includes longline, trap, pot, hook-and line (fixed or mobile), setnet (anchored gillnet or trammel net, which are per missible south of 38° N. lat. only), spear and non-groundfish trawl gear (trawls used to target non-groundfish species: pink shrimp or ridgeback prawns, and, VerDate Sep<11>2014 08:57 Jan 13, 2023 Jkt 256248 PO 00000 Frm 00328 Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8002 Q:\50\50V13.TXT PC31sf ra tti ni o n LA P JZ K W 1R 2 w ith $ $ JO B 319 Fishery Conservation and Management § 660.330 south of Pt.

(i) It is unlawful to operate a vessel in the non-groundfish trawl RCA with non-groundfish trawl gear onboard, ex cept for the purpose of continuous transiting, or when the use of trawl gear is authorized in part 660. It is un lawful to take and retain, possess, or land groundfish taken with non groundfish trawl gear within the nontrawl RCA, unless otherwise au thorized in part 660. (ii) Non-groundfish trawl vessels may transit through the non-groundfish trawl RCA, with or without groundfish on board, provided all non-groundfish trawl gear is stowed either: Below deck; or if the gear cannot readily be moved, in a secured and covered man ner, detached from all towing lines, so that it is rendered unusable for fishing; or remaining on deck uncovered if the trawl doors are hung from their stan chions and the net is disconnected from the doors. (iii) The non-groundfish trawl RCA restrictions in this section apply to vessels taking and retaining or pos sessing groundfish in the EEZ, or land ing groundfish taken in the EEZ. Un less otherwise authorized by Part 660, it is unlawful for a vessel to retain any groundfish taken on a fishing trip for species other than groundfish that oc curs within the non-groundfish trawl RCA. If a vessel fishes in a non-ground fish fishery in the non-groundfish trawl RCA, it may not participate in any fishing on that trip that is prohibited within the non-groundfish trawl RCA. Nothing in these Federal regulations supersedes any state regulations that may prohibit trawling shoreward of the fishery management area (3–200 nm). (iv) It is lawful to fish with non groundfish trawl gear within the non groundfish trawl RCA only under the following conditions: (A) Pink shrimp trawling is per mitted in the non-groundfish trawl RCA when a valid declaration report as required at § 660.12(d), subpart C, has been filed with NMFS OLE. Groundfish caught with pink shrimp trawl gear may be retained anywhere in the EEZ and are subject to the limits in Table 3 (North) and Table 3 (South) of this sub part. (B) When the shoreward line of the trawl RCA is shallower than 100 fm (183 m), vessels using ridgeback prawn trawl gear south of 34°27.00′ N. lat. may operate out to the 100 fm (183 m) boundary line specified at § 660.73, when a valid declaration report as required at § 660.13(d), has been filed with NMFS OLE. Groundfish caught with ridgeback prawn trawl gear are subject to the limits in Table 3 (North) and Table 3 (South) of this subpart. (14) Farallon Islands. Under California law, commercial fishing for all ground fish is prohibited between the shoreline and the 10 fm (18 m) depth contour around the Farallon Islands. An excep tion to this prohibition is that com mercial fishing for ‘‘other flatfish’’ is allowed around the Farallon Islands using hook and line gear only. (See Table 2 (South) of this subpart.) For a definition of the Farallon Islands, see § 660.70, subpart C. (15) Cordell Banks. Commercial fish ing for groundfish is prohibited in waters of depths less than 100-fm (183 m) around Cordell Banks, as defined by specific latitude and longitude coordi nates at § 660.70, subpart C. An excep tion to this prohibition is that com mercial fishing for ‘‘other flatfish’’ is allowed around Cordell Banks using hook and line gear only. (e) Black rockfish fishery management.
