## Abstract

NMFS announces a change from 2-month cumulative trip limits to 1-month cumulative trip limits for all groundfish species caught in the limited entry fisheries, except for sablefish caught with fixed gear, beginning September 1, 1998. This change, which is authorized by the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP), is intended to allow more flexible inseason management during the final months of the year.
