methods that are consistent with
Magnuson-Stevens Act National
Standard 1, which directs that
conservation and management measures
must achieve optimum yield from each
fishery, and National Standard 5, which
seeks to promote efficiency in the
utilization of fishery resources.
This project has been developed in
cooperation with scientists at the NMFS
Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC).
The proposed EFP has the following
three objectives: (1) collect demographic
and growth information for rockfish
species that have little baseline
biological information; (2) document the
fishing characteristics of a new type of
gear (shrimp flies), including the
calculation of bycatch rates for halibut,
sablefish, and other non-target species;
and (3) refine gear and fishing
techniques to efficiently harvest POP,
PSR, and OSR with minimal bycatch.
The time period of the project is May
15, 2006, through May 15, 2009.
Continuation of the project in 2007 and
2008 is contingent on approval from the
AFSC.
The proposed EFP exempts the
applicant from certain fishery closures
and prohibited species catch (PSC)
limits. The exemptions are necessary to
allow the permit holder to efficiently
conduct the proposed project while
minimizing impacts to the SEO hookand-line fishery. The EFP provides
exemptions from (1) hook-and-line
fishery closures under § 679.7(a)(2) due
to reasons other than overfishing
concerns; (2) PSC limits for halibut
under the GOA annual harvest
specifications (71 FR 10870, March 3,
2006) and § 679.21(d)(4)(iii)(C); and (3)
maximum retainable amounts for
rockfish fisheries under § 679.20(e); and
(4) sablefish retention requirements at
§ 679.7(f)(8)(iii)(11). The total amount of
groundfish allowed to be harvested is
189 metric tons (mt), including a 10 mt
mortality limit on sablefish. Because
sufficient total allowable catch (TAC)
amounts are available in the SEO for the
rockfish species likely to be taken
during the project, all groundfish except
sablefish will be deducted from the
annual TAC amounts specified in the
annual harvest specifications (71 FR
10870, March 3, 2006). Because
sablefish is fully allocated in the hookand-line fishery, and managed under the
individual fishing quota (IFQ) program
pursuant to § 679.40, no sablefish will
be retained during the project nor
counted against the annual sablefish
TAC. Halibut mortality is limited to 2
mt.
Fishing contrary to notification of
inseason actions, closures, or
adjustments under §§ 679.20, 679.21,
VerDate Aug<31>2005

and 679.25 is prohibited by
§ 679.7(a)(2). The applicant would be
exempt from this prohibition to allow
the project to proceed without
interruption. The PSC limit for halibut
may be reached during the project time
period, requiring the closure of the
hook-and-line fisheries in accordance
with § 679.25. Because the amounts of
halibut bycatch in the hook-and-line
Pacific cod fishery has caused the
closure of all hook-and-line fisheries
(except demersal shelf rockfish) GOAwide in the spring of 1999, 2000, and
2001, and in the fall of 2003 and 2004,
the closure of the hook-and-line
fisheries in the GOA may occur. The
halibut mortality during the project
would not be counted against the PSC
limit so that other hook-and-line
fisheries will not be impacted by the
project.
The proposed EFP allows the
retention and sale of all groundfish
species (except sablefish) taken while
fishing under the EFP to offset some of
the costs of the project. The applicant
will be exempt from the maximum
retainable amounts specified in Table 10
of 50 CFR part 679 for rockfish fisheries.
Because demersal shelf rockfish (DSR)
are managed by the State of Alaska,
which has special provisions for the
retention and sale of DSR, the EFP
would not relieve the applicant from
compliance with the State’s DSR
regulations at 5 Alaska Administrative
Code 28.171. These regulations require
full retention of DSR but limit the
numbers of DSR that may be sold for
revenue by the harvester.
Because the applicant will be required
to discard all sablefish caught, the
proposed permit exempts the applicant
from the retention requirement of
§ 679.7(f)(11) for sablefish only. Under
this regulation, all halibut and sablefish
are required to be retained if a person
on the vessel has IFQ available for
halibut or sablefish for that class of
vessel. Recruiting qualified individuals
for the project could be difficult if the
IFQ retention requirement is applied for
sablefish because the project does not
provide an efficient use of sablefish IFQ.
Because qualified participants are likely
to be sablefish IFQ holders who would
not want to use their IFQ during the
project, the applicant is exempted from
the sablefish retention requirements.
Furthermore, the primary gear used in
the EFP will be troll and jig gear, neither
of which is legal gear for the harvest of
sablefish in the SEO. The proposed EFP
requires that all sablefish caught be
returned to the sea with minimal injury.
Halibut catch would not be exempt from
§ 679.7(f)(11) and would be subject to all
applicable Federal regulations.

All fishing under the proposed EFP
would stop if the groundfish or halibut
mortality limits in the EFP are reached.
The Regional Administrator may modify
the EFP to allow continuation of the
project after consideration of the
following factors: (1) the present amount
of harvest of groundfish species by the
groundfish fisheries compared to the
annual TACs, (2) the progress of the
project to date, and (3) the potential
impacts of any modification of the EFP.
In accordance with § 679.6, NMFS has
determined that the proposal warrants
further consideration and has initiated
consultation with the Council by
forwarding the application to the
Council. The Council will consider the
EFP application during its April 3–11,
2006 meeting. The applicant has been
invited to appear in support of the
application. Interested persons may
comment on the application at the
Council meeting during public
testimony. Information regarding the
April 2006 Council meeting is available
at the Council’s website at https://
www.fakr.noaa.gov/npfmc/council.htm.
Copies of the application and EA are
available for review from NMFS (see
