## Abstract

NMFS issues this final rule to implement Amendment 13 to the Pacific Coast Salmon Plan (FMP) in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). Amendment 13 changes the management of Oregon coastal natural (OCN) coho salmon (coho), Oncorhynchus kisutch, by disaggregating the OCN stock into four components, restricting total harvest exploitation rates to a maximum of 35 percent, and linking increases in harvest rates to increases in marine survival and proven reproductive success of the present brood year. The only regulatory change that is required is a technical change to a provision regarding coho allocation south of Cape Falcon to make it consistent with the new OCN harvest levels. The intended effect of the final rule is to make the requisite technical change. DATES: Effective June 14, 1999.
