ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the
Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries,
is considering issuing an Exempted
Fishing Permit to Limuli Laboratories of
Cape May Court House, NJ, to conduct
the sixth year of an exempted fishing
operation otherwise restricted by
regulations prohibiting the harvest of
horseshoe crabs in the Carl N. Schuster
Jr. Horseshoe Crab Reserve (Reserve)
located 3 nautical miles (nm) seaward
from the mouth of the Delaware Bay. If
granted, the EFP would allow the
harvest of 10,000 horseshoe crabs for
biomedical purposes and require, as a
condition of the EFP, the collection of
data related to the status of horseshoe
crabs within the Reserve. This notice
also invites comments on the issuance
of the EFP to Limuli Laboratories.
DATES: Written comments on this action
must be received on or before July 31,
2006.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to Alan Risenhoover, Acting
Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries,
NMFS, 1315 East-West Highway, Room
13362, Silver Spring, MD 20910. Mark
the outside of the envelope ‘‘Comments
on Horseshoe Crab EFP Proposal.’’
Comments may also be sent via fax to
(301) 713–0596. Comments on this
notice may also be submitted by e-mail
to: Horseshoe-Crab.EFP@noaa.gov.
Include in the subject line of the e-mail
comment the following document
identifier: Horseshoe Crab EFP Proposal.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom
Meyer, Fishery Management Biologist,
(301) 713–2334.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The regulations that govern exempted
fishing, at 50 CFR 600.745(b) and
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
697.22, allow a Regional Administrator
or the Director of the Office of
Sustainable Fisheries to authorize for
limited testing, public display, data
collection, exploration, health and
safety, environmental clean-up and/or
hazardous removal purposes, the
targeting or incidental harvest of
managed species that would otherwise
be prohibited. Accordingly, an EFP to
authorize such activity may be issued,
provided: there is adequate opportunity
for the public to comment on the EFP
application, the conservation goals and
objectives of the fishery management
plan are not compromised, and issuance
of the EFP is beneficial to the
management of the species.
The Reserve was established on
March 7, 2001, to protect the Atlantic
coast stock of horseshoe crabs and to
support the effectiveness of the Atlantic
States Marine Fisheries Commission’s
(Commission) Interstate Fishery
Management Plan (ISFMP) for
horseshoe crabs. The final rule
(February 5, 2001; 66 FR 8906)
prohibited fishing for and possession of
horseshoe crabs in the Reserve on a
vessel with a trawl or dredge gear
aboard while in the Reserve. While the
rule did not allow for any biomedical
harvest or the collection of fishery
dependent data, NMFS stated in the
comments and responses section that it
would consider issuing EFPs for the
biomedical harvest of horseshoe crabs in
the Reserve.
The biomedical industry collects
horseshoe crabs, removes approximately
30 percent of their blood, and returns
them alive to the water. Approximately
10 percent do not survive the bleeding
process. The blood contains a reagent
called Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL)
that is used to test injectable drugs and
medical devices for bacteria and
bacterial by-products. Presently, there is
no alternative to the LAL derived from
horseshoe crabs.
NMFS manages horseshoe crabs in the
exclusive economic zone in close
cooperation with the Commission and
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The
Commission’s Horseshoe Crab
Management Board met on April 21,
2000, and again on December 16, 2003,
and recommended to NMFS that
biomedical companies with a history of
collecting horseshoe crabs in the
Reserve be given an exemption to
continue their historic levels of
collection not to exceed a combined
harvest total of 10,000 crabs annually. In
2000, the Commission’s Horseshoe Crab
Plan Review Team reported that
biomedical harvest of up to 10,000
horseshoe crabs should be allowed to
continue in the Reserve given that the
