Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Fishery Management Plans of Puerto Rico, St. Croix, and St. Thomas and St. John; Spiny Lobster Management Measures National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce. ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY:

NMFS issues regulations to implement management measures described in Framework Amendment 1 under the Fishery Management Plans for Puerto Rico, St. Croix, and St. Thomas and St. John (collectively, the islandbased FMPs) (Framework Amendment 1). For spiny lobster, this final rule modifies annual catch limits (ACLs) in the U.S. Caribbean exclusive economic zone (EEZ) around Puerto Rico, St. Croix, and St. Thomas and St. John. The final rule also revises the accountability measure (AM) trigger for spiny lobster in the EEZ around each island group. The purpose of this final rule is to update management reference points for spiny lobster under the island-based FMPs, consistent with the best scientific

information available to prevent overfishing and achieve optimum yield. DATES: This final rule is effective on April 15, 2023. ADDRESSES: An electronic copy of Framework Amendment 1, which includes an environmental assessment, a regulatory impact review, and a Regulatory Flexibility Act analysis, may be obtained from the Southeast Regional Office website at https:// www.fisheries.noaa.gov/action/genericframework-amendment-1-modificationspiny-lobster-management-referencepoints. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sarah Stephenson, NMFS Southeast Regional Office, telephone: 727–824– 5305, email: sarah.stephenson@ noaa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Puerto Rico, St. Croix, and St. Thomas and St. John fisheries target spiny lobster, which is managed under each island-based FMP. The island-based FMPs were prepared by the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Council) and NMFS. NMFS implemented the island-based FMPs through regulations at 50 CFR part 622 under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Steven Act). On December 22, 2022, NMFS published a proposed rule to implement management measures described in Framework Amendment 1 and requested public comment (87 FR 78625). The proposed rule and Framework Amendment 1 outline the rationale for the actions contained in this final rule. A summary of the management measures described in Framework Amendment 1 and implemented by this final rule is provided below. All weights described in this final rule are in round weight. Management Measures Contained in This Final Rule For spiny lobster, this final rule revises the ACLs in the EEZ around Puerto Rico, St. Croix, and St. Thomas and St. John, and the sequence of landings data used by NMFS to determine if an AM is triggered for, or needs be applied in Federal waters around each island group. Annual Catch Limits The ACLs for spiny lobster implemented by this final rule are based on stock assessments around each island group completed in 2019 through the Southeast Data, Assessment, and Review process (SEDAR 57). The SEDAR 57 assessments were reviewed

by the Council’s Scientific and Statistical Committee and determined to be suitable for management advice. For spiny lobster around each island group, only commercial landings data are collected. Because recreational landings data are not available, the ACLs for spiny lobster are based on commercial landings and apply to all harvest for the stock, whether commercial or recreational. For the Puerto Rico FMP, the ACL for spiny lobster will decrease to 369,313 lb (167,517 kg) for the 2023 fishing year from the previous ACL of 527,232 lb (239,148 kg), and then further decrease to 366,965 lb (166,452 kg) for the 2024 and subsequent fishing years. For the St. Croix FMP, the ACL for spiny lobster will decrease to 140,667 lb (63,805 kg) for the 2023 fishing year from the previous ACL of 197,528 lb (89,597 kg), and then further decrease to 120,830 lb (54,807 kg) for the 2024 and subsequent fishing years. For the St. Thomas and St. John FMP, the ACL for spiny lobster will decrease to 142,636 lb (64,698 kg) for the 2023 fishing year from the previous ACL of 209,210 lb (94,892 kg), and then further decrease to 126,089 lb (57,193 kg) for the 2024 and subsequent fishing years. The updated management reference points, including the ACLs, are expected to better protect against overfishing of the stock in relation to the previous catch limits, thus ensuring, to the greatest extent practicable, continued access to the resource in future years. NMFS notes that Framework Amendment 1 includes recommended ACLs for the 2021 and 2022 fishing years. However, as a result of delays associated with the final rule implementing the island-based FMPs, which needed to precede this rulemaking, and the time needed by NMFS to develop and implement this rulemaking, this final rule does not include spiny lobster ACLs for the 2021 and 2022 fishing years. Accountability Measures Under each island-based FMP, the AM for spiny lobster states that NMFS compares available landings of spiny lobster to the spiny lobster ACL based on a moving multi-year average of landings. In the first year following implementation of the island-based FMPs, NMFS compares a single year of available landings to the ACL; in the second year following implementation, NMFS compares a single year of available landings to the ACL; in the third year following implementation, NMFS compares a 2-year average of available landings to the ACL; and in
