SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) has the responsibility for the conservation and management of marine fishery resources. Much of this responsibility has been delegated to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Under this stewardship role, the Secretary was given certain regulatory authorities to ensure the most beneficial uses of these resources. One of the regulatory steps taken to carry out the conservation and management objectives is to collect data from users of the resource. Thus, as regional Fishery Management Councils develop specific Fishery Management Plans (FMP), the Secretary has promulgated rules for the issuance and use of a Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and to obtain fishery-dependent data to monitor, evaluate, and enforce fishery regulations. The Monkfish FMP contains a provision that enables limited access monkfish vessels fishing in the Northern Fishery Management Area (NFMA) to change their days-at-sea (DAS) declaration through their VMS from a Northeast (NE) multispecies Category A DAS to a monkfish DAS while at sea, i.e., before crossing the VMS demarcation line upon the vessel’s return to port or leaving the NFMA. The information gathered from a vessel’s declaration of a monkfish DAS in the NFMA enables NMFS to monitor the overall fishing effort, in the form of monkfish DAS usage, being directed on the monkfish resource within this management area, and is also used in ongoing analyses of the type of management actions needed to effectively manage monkfish stocks. This information is also used by NMFS to monitor DAS usage by limited access E:\FR\FM\04JAN1.SGM 04JAN1
