Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 52 / Friday, March 17, 2006 / Notices
Committee on progress to date on the
development of an amendment to
implement an SBRM process across all
NEFMC fishery management plans
(FMPs). There will be an open public
comment period to address items not
listed on the agenda prior to a lunch
break. During the afternoon session the
Council will review and approve a range
of essential fish habitat designation
alternatives for inclusion in its EFH
Omnibus Amendment. This will be
followed by Council approval of a
scoping document for a Northeast
Multispecies FMP amendment to
consider limited access, hard Total
Allowable Catches (TACs) and
dedicated access privileges in the small
mesh multispecies fisheries for whiting,
red hake and offshore hake.
Wednesday, April 5, 2006
During the morning session of the
meeting, the Council will review
preliminary analyses for a groundfish
total allowable catch management
program that was discussed at its
January meeting in Portland, ME. The
Council will then review scoping
comments and approve goals and
objectives for Amendment 11 to the Sea
Scallop FMP. It also will provide
guidance to the Scallop Committee on
the development of alternatives. The
alternatives may include resource
allocation options involving the limited
access and general category scallop
fisheries and potential qualification
criteria for a limited entry program for
general category vessels. The Council
will initiate action on Framework
Adjustment 4 to the Monkfish FMP and
provide guidance on the development of
management alternatives. Finally, the
Research Steering Committee will report
on its discussions concerning 2006
research priorities and
recommendations on several
cooperative research final reports. The
committee also will provide additional
comments and recommendations on the
process to review final reports.
Although other non-emergency issues
not contained in this agenda may come
before this Council for discussion, those
issues may not be the subjects of formal
action during this meeting. Council
action will be restricted to those issues
specifically listed in this notice and any
issues arising after publication of this
notice that require emergency action
under section 305(c) of the MagnusonStevens Act, provided that the public
has been notified of the Council’s intent
to take final action to address the
emergency.
