On
Wednesday, December 16, 2009, we
announced a 90-day finding on 192
species from a petition we received to
list 475 species in the Southwest region
of the United States as threatened or
endangered under the Act (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) (74 FR 66865). We found
that the petition presented substantial
information indicating that 67 of the 192
species may warrant listing as
threatened or endangered. When we
make a finding that a petition presents
substantial information indicating that
listing a species may be warranted, we
are required to promptly review the
status of the species (status review). For
the status review to be complete and
based on the best available scientific
and commercial information, we
requested information on each of the 67
species from governmental agencies,
Native American Tribes, the scientific
community, industry, and any other
interested parties.
In that notice, we asked commenters
to refer to an incorrect docket number
when submitting comments via U.S.
mail or hand delivery. The correct
docket number is [FWS–R2–ES–2008–
0130], and our instructions to persons
submitting comments electronically
included the correct docket number. All
hardcopy comments received under the
incorrect docket number will be routed
to the correct docket. If you already
submitted a comment, even with the
incorrect docket number, you need not
resubmit it. For more information about
the species, background, and our
finding, see our original notice at 74 FR

Fisheries Off West Coast States;
Coastal Pelagic Species Fisheries;
Annual Specifications
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: NMFS proposes a regulation
to implement the annual harvest
guideline (HG) and seasonal allocations
for Pacific sardine in the U.S. exclusive
economic zone (EEZ) off the Pacific
coast for the fishing season of January 1,
2010, through December 31, 2010. This
rule is proposed according to the
Coastal Pelagic Species (CPS) Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). The proposed
2010 acceptable biological catch (ABC)
or maximum HG is 72,039 mt. 5,000 mt
of this 72,039 mt would initially be set
aside for use under an Exempted
Fishing Permit (EFP), if issued, leaving
the remaining 65,732 mt as the initial
commercial fishing HG. That HG would
be divided across the seasonal
allocation periods in the following way:
January 1–June 30, 22,463 mt would be
allocated for directed harvest with an
incidental set-aside of 1,000 mt; July 1–
September 14, 25,861 mt would be
allocated for directed harvest with an
incidental set-aside of 1,000 mt;
September 15–December 31, 11,760 mt
would be allocated for directed harvest
with an incidental set-aside of 1,000 mt
with an additional 4,000 mt set aside to
buffer against reaching the ABC. This
rule is intended to conserve and manage
Pacific sardine off the West Coast.
DATES: Comments must be received by
February 2, 2010.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
on this proposed rule identified by
0648–XT32 by any of the following
methods:
• Electronic Submissions: Submit all

NMFS, (562) 980–4034.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CPS
FMP, which was implemented by
publication of the final rule in the
Federal Register on December 15, 1999
(64 FR 69888), divides management unit
species into two categories: actively
managed and monitored. Harvest
guidelines for actively managed species
(Pacific sardine and Pacific mackerel)
are based on formulas applied to current
biomass estimates. Biomass estimates
are not calculated for species that are
only monitored (jack mackerel, northern
anchovy, and market squid).
During public meetings each year, the
biomass for each actively managed
species within the CPS FMP is
presented to the Pacific Fishery
Management Council’s (Council) CPS
Management Team (Team), the
Council’s CPS Advisory Subpanel
(Subpanel) and the Council’s Scientific
and Statistical Committee (SSC). At that
time, the biomass, the ABC and the
status of the fisheries are reviewed and
discussed. This information is then
presented to the Council along with HG
recommendations and comments from
the Team, Subpanel and SSC. Following
review by the Council and after hearing
public comment, the Council makes its
HG recommendation to NMFS.
In November 2009, the Council
adopted and recommended to NMFS an
ABC or maximum HG of 72,039 mt for
the 2010 Pacific sardine fishing year.
This ABC is based on a biomass
estimate of 702,204 mt and the harvest
control rule established in the CPS FMP.
This ABC/HG is slightly higher than the
ABC/HG for the 2009 fishing season,
