ACTs through the specifications process.
1 Recreational harvest limit and commercial quota. If research quota is specified as described in paragraph g of this section, the recreational harvest limit and commercial quota will be based on the respective sector TALs remaining after the deduction of the applicable research quota.
2 Sector quota transfer. During the specifications process, the Bluefish Monitoring Committee may recommend a transfer of quota from the commercial fishery to the recreational fishery or from the recreational fishery to the commercial fishery; based on a review and comparison of expected landings for each sector and the recreational harvest limit and commercial quota. The amount of quota transferred between sectors may not exceed 10-percent of the ABC for that fishing year. No transfer may occur when the bluefish stock is overfished or subject to overfishing.

d Distribution of annual commercial quota. 1 The annual commercial quota will be distributed to the states, based upon the following percentages; state each followed by its allocation in parentheses: ME 0.1091; NH 0.2154;
MA 10.1150; RI 9.6079; CT 1.0872;
NY 19.7582; NJ 13.8454; DE 0.4945;

2 The allocation percentages in paragraph d1 of this section will be phased in over a 7-year period beginning in 2022. The percent change in allocation from those prior to 2022
for each state is divided equally by seven, and will be applied incrementally each year until the final allocations listed in paragraph d1 are in full effect for fishing year 2028.

f Revision of state allocation. Based upon any changes in the landings data available from the states for the base years 20092018, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission ASMFC
and the MAFMC may recommend to the Regional Administrator that the states shares specified in paragraph d1 of this section be revised. The MAFMCs and the ASMFCs recommendation must include supporting documentation, as appropriate, concerning the environmental and economic impacts of the recommendation. The Regional Administrator shall review the recommendation of the ASMFC and the MAFMC. After such review, NMFS will publish a proposed rule in the Federal Register to implement a revision in the state shares. After considering public comment, NMFS will publish a final rule in the Federal Register to implement any warranted changes in allocation.
