FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
SUMMARY: The Assistant Regional
Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries,
Northeast Region, NMFS (Assistant
Regional Administrator) has made a
preliminary determination that the
subject Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP)
application contains all the required
information and warrants further
consideration. The Assistant Regional
Administrator has also made a
preliminary determination that the
activities authorized under the EFP
would be consistent with the goals and
objectives of the Northeast (NE)
Multispecies Fishery Management Plan
(FMP). However, further review and
consultation may be necessary before a
final determination is made to issue the
EFP. Therefore, NMFS announces that
the Assistant Regional Administrator
proposes to issue an EFP that would
allow four vessels to conduct fishing
operations that are otherwise restricted
by the regulations governing the
fisheries of the Northeastern United
States. The EFP would allow for
exemptions from the NE multispecies
rolling closure area restrictions and the
NE multispecies minimum mesh size
requirements. The applicant proposes to
conduct a study of an inclined
separation panel, a bycatch reduction
device, in order to examine the
effectiveness of this type of gear at
separating the catch of Atlantic cod, and
other roundfish, from flatfish. The EFP
would allow these exemptions for four
commercial vessels for a combined total
of 23 days at sea. All experimental work
would be monitored by Manomet Center

Chapter
19 of the North American Free-Trade
Agreement (‘‘Agreement’’) establishes a
mechanism to replace domestic judicial
review of final determinations in
antidumping and countervailing duty
cases involving imports from a NAFTA
country with review by independent
binational panels. When a Request for
Panel Review is filed, a panel is
established to act in place of national
courts to review expeditiously the final
determination to determine whether it
conforms with the antidumping or
countervailing duty law of the country
that made the determination.
Under Article 1904 of the Agreement,
which came into force on January 1,
1994, the Government of the United
States, the Government of Canada and
the Government of Mexico established
Rules of Procedure for Article 1904
Binational Panel Reviews (‘‘Rules’’).
These Rules were published in the
Federal Register on February 23, 1994
(59 FR 8686). The panel review in this
matter has been conducted in
accordance with these Rules.
Panel Decision: The panel affirmed
the International Trade Commission’s
determination on remand respecting
Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire
Rod from Canada. The panel has
directed the Secretary to issue a Notice

Regulations under the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and

this notification to provide interested
parties the opportunity to comment on
applications for proposed EFPs.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before May 12, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Comments on this notice
may be submitted by e-mail. The
mailbox address for providing e-mail
comments is DA5–86@noaa.gov. Include
in the subject line of the e-mail
comment the following document
identifier: ‘‘Comments on Manomet EFP
Proposal for Inclined Separator Panel

should be sent to Patricia A. Kurkul,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An
application for an EFP was submitted by
Manomet on March 16, 2005. The EFP
would exempt four federally permitted
commercial fishing vessels from the
following requirements in the FMP: NE
multispecies Gulf of Maine (GOM)
rolling closure area restrictions
specified at 50 CFR 648.81(f)(1)(iii) and
(f)(1)(iv) to provide an optimum mixture
of cod and flatfish for testing the
experimental gear; and the NE
multispecies minimum mesh size
requirements specified at
§ 648.80(a)(3)(ii) in order to allow the
use of 4–inch (10.2–cm) mesh within
the separator panel.
The goal of this study is to assess the
applicability of this separator panel to
separate cod and other roundfish from
flatfish in the GOM NE multispecies
fishery. Researchers would test a trawl
net consisting of 6.5–inch (16.5–cm)
diamond mesh throughout the net and
codend, with a 4–inch (10.2–cm)
diamond mesh inclined separation
panel sewn into the end of the extension
and the codend. The angle of the
inclined panel and number of meshes in
the panel would be initially set at values
implemented in the Irish Sea fisheries
that have been proven effective at
separating cod and other roundfish from
flatfish.
The study would be conducted from
May 1, 2005, through July 15, 2005.
