SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Mokupapapa Discovery Center
(Center) is an outreach arm of
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National
Monument that reaches 60,000 people
each year in Hilo, Hawaii. The Center
was created four years ago to help raise
support for the creation of a National
Marine Sanctuary in the Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands. Since that time, the
area has been proclaimed a Marine
National Monument and the main
messages we are trying to share with the
public have changed to better reflect the
new monument status and the joint
management by the three co-trustees of
the Monument. We therefore are seeking
to find out if people visiting our Center
are getting our new messages by
conducting an optional exit survey.

Notice; request for comments.
SUMMARY: The Assistant Regional

Northeast Region, NMFS (Assistant
Regional Administrator) has made a
preliminary determination that the
subject Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP)
application from the University of New
England (UNE) and the University of
New Hampshire (UNH) that would
allow Northeast multispecies vessels to
possess spiny dogfish for a spiny
dogfish life history study contains all
the required information and warrants
further consideration. The Assistant
Regional Administrator has also made a
preliminary determination that the
activities authorized under the EFP
would be consistent with the goals and
objectives of the Spiny Dogfish Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). However,
further review and consultation may be
necessary before a final determination is
made.

EFP proposal.’’ Written comments
should be sent to Patricia A. Kurkul,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ryan Silva, Cooperative Research
Program Specialist, phone: 978–281–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FMP
implemented a semi-annual quota.
When a semi-annual quota is projected
to be harvested, NMFS closes the fishery
until the next semi-annual quota opens.
During a dogfish closure, no vessel may
fish for or possess dogfish. A dogfish
closure is currently in effect through
April 30, 2008.
As part of a continuing research
project, UNE, in collaboration with the
UNH, is investigating Gulf of Maine
dogfish age and growth, and size at
sexual maturity characteristics. The
applicant states that current dogfish life
history data need updating, particularly
in light of recent stock declines and
potential regional variability in life
history traits. The project investigators
are attempting to develop a more
accurate aging tool, which would
