necessary before a final determination is
made to reissue the EFP. Therefore,
NMFS announces that the Assistant
Regional Administrator proposes to
recommend that an EFP be reissued 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. This
EFP, which would continue to enable
researchers to study the effects of
climate on the distribution and catch
rates of monkfish, would adjust the
exemptions from the NE multispecies
regulations as follows: Gulf of Maine
(GOM) Rolling Closure Area (RCA) I,
rather than RCA III. The exemption from
NE multispecies effort control measures
will remain the same as with the
original EFP. Regulations under the
Magnuson–Stevens 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 December 29, 2008.
ADDRESSES: You may submit written
comments by any of the following
methods:

SUMMARY: The Assistant Regional
Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries,
Northeast Region, NMFS (Assistant
Regional Administrator), has made a
preliminary determination that an
amendment to an Exempted Fishing
Permit (EFP) application submitted by
the University of Maryland Eastern
Shore (UMES) contains all of the
required information and warrants
further consideration. The Assistant
Regional Administrator has made a
preliminary determination that the
adjusted activities authorized under this
amended EFP would be consistent with
the goals and objectives of the Northeast
(NE) Multispecies and Monkfish Fishery
Management Plans (FMPs). However,
further review and consultation may be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An
application for an EFP amendment was
submitted on October 15, 2008, by
Andrea K. Johnson, Ph.D., Research
Assistant Professor at UMES, for a
project funded under the New England
and Mid–Atlantic Fishery Management
Councils’ Monkfish Research Set–Aside
(RSA) Program. The primary goal of this
study is to investigate the influence of
temperature on monkfish distribution
and abundance, as well as determine
age and growth patterns, spawning
frequency, feeding rates, and
cannibalism. This information will
provide information on the biology of
monkfish that could be used to enhance
the management of this species.
The original EFP granted an
exemption for one vessel to fish for
monkfish using gillnets inside the GOM
RCA III during May 2008. The vessel
originally issued the EFP later decided
not to participate in this project and a
new vessel was issued the EFP on
October 14, 2008. With this change to a
new vessel, the research area was
revised to reflect the new vessel owner’s
familiarity with monkfish fishing
grounds. This EFP revision would grant
an exemption for the new vessel to fish
in 30-minute square number 122, rather
than 137, inside the GOM RCA I during
