^x^/ Pacific whiting. The 2021 OFL of 565,191 mt is based on the 2021 assessment with an F40 percent of FMSY proxy. The 2021 coastwide adjusted Total Allowable Catch (TAC) is 500,000 mt. The U.S. TAC is 73.88 percent of the coastwide TAC. The 2021 adjusted U.S. TAC is 369,400 mt (314,320 mt unadjusted TAC + 55,080 mt carryover adjustment). From the adjusted U.S. TAC, 64,645 mt is deducted to accommodate the Tribal fishery, and 750 mt is deducted to accommodate research and bycatch in other fisheries, resulting in a 2021 fishery HG of 304,005 mt. The TAC for Pacific whiting is established under the provisions of the Agreement with Canada on Pacific Hake/Whiting and the Pacific Whiting Act of 2006, 16 U.S.C. 7001-7010, and the international exception applies. Therefore, no ABC or ACL values are provided for Pacific whiting.

The northern ACL is 6,892 mt and is reduced by 689.2 mt for the Tribal allocation (10 percent of the ACL north of 36° N lat.). The 689.2 mt Tribal allocation is reduced by 1.7 percent to account for discard mortality. Detailed sablefish allocations are shown in Table 1c.

^aa^/ Sablefish south of 36° N lat. The ACL for the area south of 36° N lat. is 1,899 mt (21.6 percent of the calculated coastwide ACL value). 27.4 mt is deducted from the ACL to accommodate research (2.40 mt) and the incidental open access fishery (25 mt), resulting in a fishery HG of 1,871.6 mt.
