ACTION: Notice; affirmative finding
renewal.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Assistant Administrator
for Fisheries, NMFS, (Assistant
Administrator) has renewed the
affirmative finding for the Government
of Mexico under the Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA). This
affirmative finding will allow yellowfin
tuna harvested in the eastern tropical
Pacific Ocean(ETP) in compliance with
the International Dolphin Conservation
Program (IDCP) by Mexican-flag purse
seine vessels or purse seine vessels
operating under Mexican jurisdiction to
be imported into the United States. The
affirmative finding was based on review
of documentary evidence submitted by
the Government of Mexico and obtained
from the Inter-American Tropical Tuna
Commission (IATTC) and the U.S.
Department of State.
DATES: Effective April 1, 2007, through
March 31, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
MMPA, 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq., allows
the entry into the United States of
yellowfin tuna harvested by purse seine
vessels in the ETP under certain
conditions. If requested by the
harvesting nation, the Assistant
Administrator will determine whether
to make an affirmative finding based
upon documentary evidence provided
by the government of the harvesting
nation, the IATTC, or the Department of
State.
The affirmative finding process
requires that the harvesting nation is
meeting its obligations under the IDCP
and obligations of membership in the
IATTC. Every 5 years, the government of
the harvesting nation must request an
affirmative finding and submit the
required documentary evidence directly
to the Assistant Administrator. On an
annual basis, NMFS will review the
affirmative finding and determine
whether the harvesting nation continues
to meet the requirements. A nation may
provide information related to
compliance with IDCP and IATTC
measures directly to NMFS on an
annual basis or may authorize the
IATTC to release the information to
NMFS to annually renew an affirmative
finding determination without an
application from the harvesting nation.
An affirmative finding will be
terminated, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, if the Assistant
Administrator determines that the
requirements of 50 CFR 216.24(f) are no
longer being met or that a nation is
consistently failing to take enforcement
actions on violations, thereby
diminishing the effectiveness of the
IDCP.
As a part of the affirmative finding
process set forth in 50 CFR 216.24(f), the
Assistant Administrator considered
documentary evidence submitted by the
Government of Mexico or obtained from
the IATTC and the Department of State
and has determined that Mexico has met
the MMPA’s requirements to receive an
annual affirmative finding renewal.
After consultation with the
Department of State, the Assistant
Administrator issued the Government of
Mexico’s annual affirmative finding
renewal, allowing the continued
importation into the United States of
yellowfin tuna and products derived
from yellowfin tuna harvested in the
ETP by Mexican-flag purse seine vessels
or purse seine vessels operating under
Mexican jurisdiction. Mexico’s
affirmative finding will remain valid

affirmative finding will allow yellowfin tuna harvested in the eastern
tropical Pacific Ocean(ETP) in compliance with the International
Dolphin Conservation Program (IDCP) by Mexican-flag purse seine vessels
or purse seine vessels operating under Mexican jurisdiction to be
imported into the United States. The affirmative finding was based on
review of documentary evidence submitted by the Government of Mexico

and the U.S. Department of State.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The MMPA, 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq., allows the
entry into the United States of yellowfin tuna harvested by purse seine
vessels in the ETP under certain conditions. If requested by the
harvesting nation, the Assistant Administrator will determine whether
to make an affirmative finding based upon documentary evidence provided
by the government of the harvesting nation, the IATTC, or the
Department of State.
The affirmative finding process requires that the harvesting nation
is meeting its obligations under the IDCP and obligations of membership
in the IATTC. Every 5 years, the government of the harvesting nation
must request an affirmative finding and submit the required documentary
evidence directly to the Assistant Administrator. On an annual basis,
NMFS will review the affirmative finding and determine whether the
harvesting nation continues to meet the requirements. A nation may
provide information related to compliance with IDCP and IATTC measures
directly to NMFS on an annual basis or may authorize the IATTC to
release the information to NMFS to annually renew an affirmative
finding determination without an application from the harvesting
nation.
An affirmative finding will be terminated, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, if the Assistant Administrator determines that the
requirements of 50 CFR 216.24(f) are no longer being met or that a
nation is consistently failing to take enforcement actions on
violations, thereby diminishing the effectiveness of the IDCP.
As a part of the affirmative finding process set forth in 50 CFR
216.24(f), the Assistant Administrator considered documentary evidence
submitted by the Government of Mexico or obtained from the IATTC and
the Department of State and has determined that Mexico has met the
MMPA's requirements to receive an annual affirmative finding renewal.
After consultation with the Department of State, the Assistant
Administrator issued the Government of Mexico's annual affirmative
finding renewal, allowing the continued importation into the United
States of yellowfin tuna and products derived from yellowfin tuna
harvested in the ETP by Mexican-flag purse seine vessels or purse seine
vessels operating under Mexican jurisdiction. Mexico's affirmative
finding will remain valid through March 31, 2010, subject to subsequent
annual reviews by NMFS.
