Sector Operations Plan and Agreement
and Allocation of Georges Bank Cod
Total Allowable Catch
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of approval of hook
sector operations plan and allocation of
Georges Bank cod total allowable catch.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: NMFS announces approval of
an Operations Plan and Sector Contract
titled ‘‘Amendment 1 to Georges Bank
(GB) Cod Hook Sector Operations Plan
and Agreement’’ (Sector Agreement),
and the associated allocation of GB cod,
consistent with regulations
implementing Amendment 13 to the
Northeast (NE) Multispecies Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). The intent is
to allow regulated harvest of groundfish
by the GB cod Hook Sector (Sector),
consistent with the objectives of the
FMP.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the Sector
Operations Plan and the environmental
assessment (EA) are available upon
request from the NE Regional Office at
the following mailing address: George
H. Darcy, Assistant Regional
Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries,
NMFS, Northeast Regional Office, 1
Blackburn Drive, Gloucester, MA 01930.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final
rule implementing Amendment 13 (69
FR 22906, April 27, 2004) specified a
process for the formation of sectors
within the NE multispecies fishery and
the allocation of total allowable catch
(TAC) for a specific groundfish species
(or Days-at-Sea (DAS)), implemented
restrictions that apply to all sectors,
authorized the Sector, established the
GB Cod Hook Sector Area (Sector Area),
and specified a formula for the
allocation of GB cod TAC to the Sector.
The Sector was authorized for fishing
year (FY) 2004 and, based upon the
hook gear landings history of its 58
E:\FR\FM\04MYN1.SGM
04MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 85 / Wednesday, May 4, 2005 / Notices
members, was allocated 371 mt of cod,
which represented 12.587 percent of the
total 2004 GB cod TAC.
NMFS provided interested parties an
opportunity to comment on the Sector
Agreement proposed for the 2005
fishing year through notification
published in the Federal Register on
April 1, 2005 (70 FR 16804); additional
background and details of the Sector
Agreement are contained in that
notification and are not repeated here.
No comments from the public were
received.
After consideration of the proposed
Sector Agreement, which contains the
Sector Contract and Operations Plan,
NMFS has concluded that the Sector
Agreement is consistent with the goals
of the FMP and other applicable law
and is in compliance with the
regulations governing the development
and operation of a sector as specified
under 50 CFR 648.87.
There are 49 members of the approved
Sector. The calculation of GB cod TAC
for the Sector was based upon historic
GB landings under the following two
regulatory scenarios: (1) The current
regulations, as implemented by
Amendment 13, that restrict GB cod
landings to only hook gear; and (2)
based upon the proposed Framework
Adjustment 40–B (currently under
review by the NMFS) that, if approved,
would not restrict GB cod landings to
certain gear types. The allocation
percentages were calculated by dividing
the sum of GB cod landings by Sector
members for the FYs 1996 through 2001
by the sum of the accumulated landings
of GB cod harvested by all NE
multispecies vessels for same time
period (113,278,842 lb or 51,383 mt) for
each of the two regulatory scenarios
described above. The resulting numbers
are 10.79 percent and 11.12 percent for
the two methods, respectively. Based
upon the 49 Sector members, the Sector
TAC of GB cod for FY 2005 is 441 mt,
and would be 455 mt, upon approval of
FW 40–B.
Letters of Authorization will be issued
to members of the Sector exempting
them, conditional upon their
compliance with the Sector Agreement,
from the requirements of the Gulf of
Maine trip limit exemption program,
limits on the number of hooks, and the
GB Seasonal Closure Area, as specified
in §§ 648.86(b), 648.80(a)(4)(v), and
648.81(g), respectively.
Classification
This action is required by 50 CFR part
648 and is exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Climate Change Science Program,
sponsored by 13 participating
departments and agencies of the U.S.
Government, coordinates and integrates
scientific research on changes in climate
and related systems. The CCSP Strategic
Plan emphasizes the application of
knowledge from CCSP to develop,
improve, and disseminate products for
use in decisionmaking related to climate
variability and change. Many CCSP
programs and activities address these
needs-for example, the use of
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

observations and seasonal-tointerannual climate forecasts in the
management of natural resources, or
application of scientific knowledge in
integrated assessments of global change.
The CCSP Strategic Plan calls for the
development of 21 Synthesis and
Assessment products that provide
current evaluations of climate science
issues, complementing other
international assessments such as that
prepared by the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). To
maximize the effectiveness of all CCSP
products, it is vital that these products
account for the science information
needs of their users. The workshop will
be an opportunity for scientists and user
communities to discuss future
application and development of climate
science, recognizing the multiple ways
in which climate information will be
utilized to address societal and
scientific challenges.
Status: The times above may be
subject to change. Refer to the website
listed below for a final meeting agenda.
Participation will be limited to the first
800 registrants. Webcast of the
