The proposed quotas are status quo.
As a result, this action will have no impacts on the way the fishery operates.
These measures are expected to provide similar fishing opportunities when compared to earlier years. Additionally, the surfclam and ocean quahog fisheries, including the Maine quahog fishery, have harvested well below their respective quota allocations for several years. As such, revenue changes are not expected in 20212026 when compared to landings and revenues in 2019.
Therefore, adoption of the proposed specifications is not expected to have impacts on entities participating in the fishery if landings are similar to those that occurred in 2019.

The proposed action would have no impact on the way the fishery operates, and is not expected to disproportionately affect small entities.
As a result, an initial regulatory flexibility analysis is not required and none has been prepared.
This proposed rule contains no information collection requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
