ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
The New England and MidAtlantic Fishery Management Councils,
in cooperation with the NMFS Greater
Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office, seek
public comment on a draft amendment
to all the fishery management plans
under their purview. The omnibus
amendment would modify provisions
limiting changes to vessel size and
horsepower specifications in limited
access fleets.
DATES: Comments must be received by
September 22, 2014.
ADDRESSES: You may submit written
comments by any of the following
methods.
• Email: nmfs.gar.baseline@noaa.gov.
Include in the subject line ‘‘Comments
on draft Baseline Amendment.’’
• Mail: John K. Bullard, Regional
Administrator, NMFS, Greater Atlantic
Regional Fisheries Office, 55 Great
Republic Drive, Gloucester, MA 01930.
Mark the outside of the envelope
‘‘Comments on draft Baseline
Amendment.’’
• Fax: (978) 281–9135.
Copies of the draft amendment may
be obtained by contacting the NMFS
Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries
Office at the above address. The
documents are also available via the
internet at:
www.greateratlantic.fisheries.noaa.gov.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Melissa Hooper, Fishery Policy Analyst,
(978) 281–9166.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Fishing
vessel baseline specifications and
upgrade restrictions have been used as
a tool in Northeast limited access
fisheries to promote conservation of fish
species by limiting potential increases
in the harvest capacity of the fleet. To
reduce fishing mortality and fishing
effort, the New England and MidAtlantic Fishery Management Councils
have used various effort controls, such
as limits on the amount of time
(numbers of days-at-sea (DAS)) that can
be fished, trip limits, state-by-state
quota allocations, and moratoria on
