## Abstract

NMFS issues a listing of final adjustments to the 1999 commercial summer flounder state quotas. This action complies with the regulations that implement the Fishery Management Plan for the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fisheries (FMP) that require landings in excess of a given state's individual commercial quota be deducted from that state's quota for the following year. The intent of this action is to continue the rate of rebuilding of the overfished stock of summer flounder in 1999 as described in the FMP's objectives, while also taking into account 1998 overages of state quotas.
