SUMMARY: The Assistant Regional
Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
21:01 Jun 30, 2008
Jkt 214001
Northeast Region, NMFS has made a
preliminary determination that the
subject exempted fishing permit (EFP)
application contains all the required
information and warrants further
consideration. Therefore, NMFS
announces that the Assistant Regional
Administrator proposes to recommend
that an EFP be issued that would allow
one commercial fishing vessel to
conduct fishing operations that are
otherwise restricted by the regulations
governing the fisheries of the
Northeastern United States. The EFP,
which would enable the applicants to
investigate the bycatch variability of
different groundfish trawl codend
configurations with a small mesh cover,
would allow for exemptions for one
vessel from the Northeast (NE)
Multispecies and Monkfish Fishery
Management Programs, as follows: NE
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
multispecies Gulf of Maine (GOM)
minimum mesh size. The EFP would
also allow temporary exemptions from
the following regulations, per the
stipulations detailed in this document:
NE multispecies minimum fish sizes;
NE multispecies possession restrictions;
monkfish minimum fish sizes; and
monkfish possession restrictions.
Regulations under the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act require publication of
this notification to provide interested
parties the opportunity to comment on
applications for proposed EFPs.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before July 16, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to Patricia A. Kurkul, Regional
Administrator, NMFS, Northeast
