3,184,000 lb (1,444.6 mt) of haddock
and 31,840 lb (14.4 mt) of cod. However,
the applicant believes the study can be
successfully completed with a bycatch
of GB cod of 20,000 lb (9.1 mt).
Therefore, to ensure that participating
vessels stay within the confines of this
experiment, the study will be subject to
a poundage cap of 20,000 lb (9.1 mt) of
GB cod, and 3,184,000 lb (1,444.6 mt) of
GB haddock. Should this cap be caught,
the RA would discontinue the
experimental fishery. All fish landed
would be subject to the minimum fish
size. Although all vessels would be
exempt from the haddock trip limits,
non-Sector vessel would not be exempt
from the cod trip limit requirements.
Because the target species is haddock,
the applicant has requested an
exemption from the 3,600- hook limits
for non-Sector vessels. Hook limits for
longline fishermen were implemented
as a means to reduce the catch of cod
on Georges Bank. As such, the limit is
unnecessary for fishermen targeting
haddock. Additionally, EFPs DA–280
and DA–338 have demonstrated that the
bycatch rate of cod is less than 1 percent
when using fabricated baits.
REMSA scientific staff would be
present on board each participating
vessel, equating to 100–percent
scientific data collector coverage for this
experimental fishery. Scientific data
collectors would be responsible for
collecting all biological and
environmental data on NMFS observer
forms. CCCHFA would develop a full
report of results and would submit this
information to the NMFS Northeast
Regional Office monthly. The EFPs
would contain a provision that the RA
has the authority to discontinue the
proposed experimental fishery at any
time, e.g., the RA would terminate the
EFP if the Eastern U.S./Canada Area is
closed due to TAC-based closures.
A draft EA has been prepared that
analyzes the impacts of the proposed
experimental fishery on the human
environment. This draft EA concludes
that the activities proposed to be
conducted under the requested EFP are
consistent with the goals and objectives
of the FMP, would not be detrimental to
the well-being of any stocks of fish
harvested, and would have no
significant environmental impacts. The
draft EA also concludes that the
proposed experimental fishery would
not be detrimental to Essential Fish
Habitat, marine mammals, or protected
species.
The applicant may request minor
modifications to the EFP throughout the
year. EFP modifications may be granted
without further notice if they are
deemed essential to facilitate

completion of the proposed research
and minimal enough so as not to change
the scope or impact the initially
approved EFP request.
Regulations under the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act require publication of
this notification to provide interested
parties the opportunity to comment on
applications for proposed EFPs.

meeting.

ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Joint Advisory
Committee on Nuclear Weapons Surety
will conduct a closed session on March
30th, 2005 at the Institute for Defense
Analyses, Alexandria, VA.
The Joint Advisory Committee is
charged with advising the Secretaries of
Defense and Energy, and the Joint
Nuclear Weapons Council on nuclear
weapons surety matters. At this meeting
the Joint Advisory Committee will
receive classified briefings on nuclear
weapons safety and security.
In accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–
463, as amended, Title 5, U.S.C. App. II,
(1988)), this meeting concerns matters
sensitive to the interests of national
security, listed in 5 U.S.C. Section
552b(c)(1) and accordingly this meeting
will be closed to the public.

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board
Task Force on Identifying and
Sustaining U.S. Department of Defense/
UK Ministry of Defence Defense Critical
Technologies (Study) will meet in
closed session on April 1, 2005, at
Strategic Analysis, Inc., 3601 Wilson
Boulevard, Arlington, VA. This Task
Force will develop a methodology to
identify unique defense technologies as
well as commercially developed
technologies needing augmentation to
fulfill defense niche areas, and then
apply the methodology to develop a list
of defense critical technologies.
The mission of the Defense Science
Board is to advise the Secretary of
Defense and the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology &
Logistics on scientific and technical
matters as they affect the perceived
needs of the Department of Defense. At
these meetings, the Defense Science
Board Task Force should focus its effort
on high leverage, differentiated and
transformational technologies. The
Study may then use this list of defense
critical technologies to further assess the
tools available to the U.S. DoD or UK
MoD to develop its critical technology
needs. Some of the considerations the
Study should examine include
mechanisms to develop niches in preexisting technologies, foster new
technology until the commercial
marketplace takes over, or develop
technology without any expectation of
commercial development; the analysis
should include a review of the
applicable acquisition/business case.
Finally, the Study should consider the
impact of technology development in
other countries and the implications
that this may have on Anglo-U.S.
unique needs.
In accordance with Section 10(d) of
the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
Public Law 92–463, as amended (5
U.S.C. App. 2), it has been determined
that these Defense Science Board Task
Force meetings concern matters listed in
5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that,
accordingly, these meetings will be
closed to the public.
