SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council initiated a regulatory amendment in June 2006 to adjust the TAC for both Atlantic migratory group king and Spanish mackerel following an assessment and report reflecting the need to reduce the current TACs. The Council is proposing to reduce the current annual TAC for king mackerel from 10.0 million lb (4.5 million kg) to 7.1 million lb (3.2 million kg), and for Spanish mackerel from 7.04 million lb (3.19 million kg) to 6.7 million lb (3.0 million kg). Amendment 18 was changed from a regulatory amendment to a plan amendment in September 2006 to allow more flexibility for alternatives. While the title has changed, the alternatives and information contained in the plan amendment remain the same.
