tuna handline by the Pelagic Plan Team
(PPT)in May 2005, suggests that the
available data on landings may not
require a limited entry program at this
time. However, there were concerns that
the reported statistics for this fishery
(which is actually a mix of different
hook and line gears) may be
underestimates, and that serious efforts
should be made to pursue accurate
landings data for the fishery. The PPT
also approved a protocol to be
incorporated into the Pelagics FMP by
which the Council would take action on
international management of HMS
species. This includes ensuring Council
inclusion in US delegations to
international fishery management
meetings and the drafting of position
papers on measures to reduce
overfishing and rebuild stocks.
The Council will review PPT and SSC
comments and recommendations and
may take final action on an FMP
amendment on how to deal with BET
overfishing both in the domestic and
international fisheries.
5. MPA Objectives and Goals, Criteria
for Establishing Monitoring and
Evaluating MPAs First Draft (Action
Item)
The Council MPA Working Group is
developing a guide for Council family
reference when working on MPA issues.
‘‘MPA Goals and Objectives, and
Criteria for Establishing, Monitoring and
Evaluating MPAs’’ is a dynamic
document, updated with the best
available science. The Document
incorporates a flowchart illustrating a
NEPA based process to establish,
monitor and evaluate MPAs, and criteria
for establishing, monitoring and
evaluating MPAs are detailed. The
Council is asked to review a first draft
of this document.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before the Council for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
Council action during this meeting.
Council action will be restricted to those
issues specifically listed in this
document and any issue arising after
publication of this document that
requires emergency action under section
305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
provided the public has been notified of
the Council’s intent to take final action
to address the emergency.

Draft Environmental Impact Statement
for the Preparation of a Special Area
Management Plan and Associated 404
Permit Actions for the San Juan Creek
and Western San Mateo Creek
Watersheds, Orange County, CA
AGENCY:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
DOD.
ACTION:
Revised Notice of Intent (NOI).
SUMMARY: The Corps of Engineers
(Corps) published a Notice of Intent to
prepare a Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) in the Federal Register
(Vol. 66, No. 76, pages 20135–20136) on
April 19, 2001, for a Special Area
Management Plan (SAMP) within the
San Juan Creek and western San Mateo
Creek Watersheds. The Notice of Intent
stated that the eventual document
would be a joint state and federal
document in coordination with the
California Department of Fish and Game
(Department). The Department intended
to prepare an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) in accordance with the
California Environmental Quality Act
for the Department’s proposed Master
Streambed Alteration Agreement
(MSAA), a proposed state program
analogous to the SAMP. It is now
necessary to revise the Notice of Intent
to reflect that the doucment will now be
a federal document and not a joint
federal and state document.
Scoping commenced on April 19,
2001 with the publication of the original
Notice of Intent in the Federal Register.
In addition, the Corps issued a special
public notice on the SAMP dated April
18, 2001, to the general public. A public
scoping meeting was held on May 8,
2001, in San Juan Capistrano, California.
