This action would also exclude IFQ halibut harvest derived from quota held by a Community Quota Entity (CQE) in Area 4B from accruing under the proposed five percent vessel harvest limit across Areas 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, and 4E. This action would provide additional flexibility for halibut IFQ Program fishery participants in Areas 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, and 4E, where fishery conditions continue to be challenging. This action would promote the goals and objectives of the IFQ Program, the Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982 (Halibut Act), and other applicable laws. - **Comments close** 5 October 2026 (in 31 days) 91 FR 56606 · FR Doc. 2026-18031 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-03/pdf/2026-18031.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/03/2026-18031/pacific-halibut-fisheries-catch-sharing-plan-modify-pacific-halibut-individual-fishing-quota-ifq) ### Fisheries Off West Coast States; West Coast Salmon Fisheries; 2026 Specifications and Management Measures; Correction *Rule* — Commerce Department · National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NMFS established fishery management measures for the ocean salmon fisheries off Washington, Oregon, and California for the season beginning May 16, 2026, until the effective date of the 2027 management measures, which we expect to be May 16, 2027 (the 2026 ocean salmon fishing season), under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). The final rule, published in the Federal Register on May 19, 2026, included an error in the management measures for recreational ocean salmon fisheries in the subarea from Pigeon Point to the U.S./Mexico border (Monterey). This action corrects an error by adding the text that was accidentally omitted from the May 19, 2026 rule and clarifies the applicability of bag limits and early 2027 management measures in the area from Point Arena to Pigeon Point (San Francisco). - **Takes effect** 2 September 2026 (2 days ago) 91 FR 56599 · FR Doc. 2026-18029 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-03/pdf/2026-18029.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/03/2026-18029/fisheries-off-west-coast-states-west-coast-salmon-fisheries-2026-specifications-and-management) ### Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to Specified Activities; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to the Oregon Department of Transportation's Yaquina Bay Dolphin Replacement Project in Newport, Oregon *Notice* — Commerce Department · National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NMFS received a request from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the renewal of their currently active incidental harassment authorization (IHA) to take marine mammals incidental to construction activities for the Yaquina Bay Dolphin Replacement Project in Newport, Oregon. ODOT's activities will not be completed prior to the IHA's expiration. Pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), prior to issuing the currently active IHA, NMFS requested comments on both the proposed IHA and the potential for renewing the initial authorization if certain requirements were satisfied.
