jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 168 / Thursday, August 28, 2008 / Notices
data request to the state of California for
permit or license-holder information.
Using this information, NMFS will mail
MMAP Authorization Certificates,
marine mammal injury/mortality
reporting forms, and other program
information to each permit or licenseholder. Fishermen who participate in an
integrated Category I or II state fishery
do not need to take any additional
action to register under the MMAP, as
long as they hold a valid state fishing
permit or license for the affected fishery.
However, fishermen who participate in
Category I or II state and/or Federal
fisheries not yet integrated with the
MMAP registration system (i.e., fisheries
for which no Federal or state permits are
required) must contact the NMFS,
Southwest Regional Office, Sustainable
Fisheries Division (see FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT), in order to
register and receive an MMAP
Authorization Certificate. If a fisherman
participating in a Category I or II fishery,
who expects to receive automatic
registration, does not receive an
Authorization Certificate by January 1 of
each calendar year hereafter, the
fisherman should contact NMFS (see
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) to
inquire about the status of his/her
registration. Alternatively, he/she may
apply for registration directly, following
the procedures in 50 CFR 229.4(b). In
any case, every fisherman fishing in a
Category I or II fishery must have an
Authorization Certificate.
NMFS will work with the permitissuing agencies in each state to identify
and attempt to limit mailing of
Authorization Certificates to only those
participants in Category I and II
fisheries. Some permit systems,
however, do not allow identification of
fishermen using specific gear types in a
way that matches the fishery
designation referenced in the LOF. In
cases where NMFS or the state permitissuing agency cannot confidently
determine which specific fishery
identified in the LOF each fishermen
participates in, based on the permit or
license information, NMFS may
inadvertently issue Authorization
Certificates to fishermen participating in
Category III fisheries. This approach,
which may be confusing to Category III
fishermen who are not required to be
registered under the MMAP, is
necessary to ensure that fishermen who
must register with the MMAP are not
unintentionally excluded from
notification.
