Comment 79: The IPHC does not view this as a conservation issue. The IPHC would never allow an overharvest of the Total CEY if there were a conservation issue. It should be very clear that due to the conservative nature of IPHC harvest calculations, overharvest of the Total CEY by 60 to 85 percent is possible without resulting in a conservation issue. The proposed rule deals with a pure allocation issue and does not present any resource conservation questions

Bad news for the future of halibut charters. There is no provision for ever reinstating the two fish limit in soouth east.
