  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS issues regulations implementing Amendment 26 to the 
Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner 
Crabs (FMP). These regulations amend the Crab Rationalization Program. 
Amendment 26 amends the FMP to exempt permanently quota share issued to 
crew members, and the annual harvest privileges derived from that quota 
share, from requirements for delivery to specific processors, delivery 
within specific geographic regions, and participation in an arbitration 
system to resolve price disputes. This action is intended to promote 
the goals and objectives of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation 
and Management Act (MSA), the FMP, and other applicable law.

  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS announces that the Elephant Trunk Scallop Access Area 
(ETAA) will close to general category scallop vessels until it reopens 
on March 1, 2009, under current regulations. This action is based on 
the determination that 1,671 general category scallop trips into the 
ETAA are projected to be taken as of 1200 hr (noon) local time, June 
18, 2008. This action is being taken to prevent the allocation of 
general category trips in the ETAA from being exceeded during the 2008 
fishing year, in accordance with the regulations implementing Framework 
18 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and the 
MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
