Environmental Assessment for a Rule for Area of Overlap Between the Convention Areas of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission and the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission

The proposed action is to change NMFS' management of the area of overlap between the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) and the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) so that IATTC regulations would apply in the overlap area and only a few WCPFC regulations would continue to apply in the overlap area.
