that any allocation or apportionment of a target species or species group allocated or apportioned to a fishery will be reached; or 2 with respect to pollock and Pacific cod, that an allocation or apportionment to an
inshore or offshore component or sector allocation will be reached, then the Regional Administrator may establish a directed fishing allowance DFA for that species or species group.
