This proposal suggests re-evaluating ACL as 1 SD lower than OFL, considering catch variability factors. Weight seasonal closures, demand changes, storms, and more for ACL adjustments.

Alternative • Request re-evaluation of establishing the ACL as the MSY (OFL) minus 1 standard derivation of the annual average catch of the previously recommended years (SSC) • When the ACL is substantially lower than the total annual catch of the 2004-06 period then considerations of the annual catch variability sources (e.g., seasonal/area closures, market demand, storms, and other management measures in place) could be weighted in to adjust the ACL.
