The Commerce Department's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration published a final rule on Aug. 20, 2026, making inseason adjustments to the 2025-2026 biennial specifications and management measures for the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery under the Magnuson-Stevens Act. [^1]

DRM3's Federal Register instrument recorded the entry. The rule sits within the broader 2025-2026 biennial specifications cycle already in effect for fisheries off West Coast states.

What the adjustments change within those specifications, and when the new measures take effect, the instrument reading does not specify. A review of the full Federal Register entry would settle both questions.
