ACTION: Notice of availability of an amendment to a fishery management plan; request for comments. erjones on PRODPC74 with PROPOSALS AGENCY: SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the Pacific Fishery Management Council VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:34 Mar 08, 2007 Jkt 211001 (Pacific Council) has submitted Amendment 1 to the Fishery Management Plan for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species (HMS FMP) for review by the Secretary of Commerce. Amendment 1, in combination with the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council’s (Western Pacific Council) proposed Amendment 14, address overfishing of bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) Pacific-wide as required under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Management Act (MagnusonStevens Act). The specific actions to end overfishing would be implemented by multilateral cooperation through appropriate regional fishery management organizations (RFMOs) the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) in the Eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) and the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO). Specifically, Amendment 1 would recommend that fishing mortality on Pacific bigeye in the EPO by longline vessels be reduced immediately by 30 percent and by purse seine fishing vessels by 38 percent from 2003–2004 fishing levels, and in the WCPO by longline and purse seine vessels by 20 percent from 2001–2003 levels for each gear type. Taken together, these proposed reductions in fishing mortality would end overfishing of Pacific bigeye tuna. Amendment 1 would also reorganize the West Coast HMS FMP to create a more user-friendly document as the current FMP is combined with a lengthy Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). DATES: Comments on Amendment 1 must be received by May 8, 2007.

Simonds, Executive Director, Western Pacific Fishery Management Council, 1164 Bishop St., Suite 1400, Honolulu, HI 96813. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Heidi Taylor, Sustainable Fisheries Division, NMFS, at 562–980–4039, or Christopher Dahl, Pacific Fishery Management Council, at 503–820–2280. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HMS fishery in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the West Coast is managed under the HMS FMP, which was developed by the Pacific Council pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Act. The HMS FMP was approved by the Secretary of Commerce and implemented by regulation at 50 CFR part 660. The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires each regional fishery management council to submit any amendment to an FMP to NMFS for review and approval, disapproval, or partial approval. The Magnuson-Stevens Act also requires that NMFS, upon receiving an amendment to an FMP, publish notification in the Federal Register that the amendment is available for public review and comment. NMFS will consider public comment received during the comment period in determining whether to approve, disapprove, or partially approve Amendment 1. Amendment 1 to the HMS FMP was developed by the Pacific Council, in coordination with the development of Amendment 14 to the Western Pacific Council’s Pelagics FMP. Both Amendments have been submitted to NMFS for review under the MagnusonStevens Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. This document announces that Amendment 1 is available for public review and comment. A similar announcement for Amendment 14 was published on February 15, 2007, in the Federal Register. On December 15, 2004, NMFS notified both Councils that overfishing was occurring on bigeye tuna Pacificwide. As required by the MagnusonStevens Act, the Councils were requested to take appropriate action to end overfishing. The Pacific Council, having fisheries for bigeye tuna in the EPO only, and the Western Pacific Council, having fisheries in both the EPO and the WCPO, worked to develop an international strategy that addresses overfishing Pacific-wide. According to the guidelines for National Standard 1 of the MagnusonStevens Act, fishery stock status is assessed to determine if the stock is E:\FR\FM\09MRP1.SGM 09MRP1
