## Abstract

NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for pollock in the Steller sea lion conservation area (SCA) of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI) by "open access" vessels (i.e., those vessels that are not fishing in cooperatives), which are catching pollock for processing by the inshore component. This action is necessary because the interim C season inside the SCA of allocation of pollock total allowable catch (TAC) specified for the "open access" vessels within the SCA will be reached.
