requirements to end and prevent
overfishing through the use of ACLs and
AMs. Federal FMPs must establish
mechanisms for ACLs and AMs by 2010
for stocks subject to overfishing and by
2011 for all others, with the exceptions
of stocks managed under an
international agreement or stocks with a
life cycle of approximately one year.
On January 16, 2009, NMFS
published amended guidelines for
National Standard 1 (NS1) of the MSA
to provide guidance on how to comply
with new ACL and AM requirements.
The NS1 guidelines include
recommendations for establishing
several related reference points to
ensure scientific and management
uncertainty are accounted for when
management measures are established.
The purpose of this meeting is to
develop alternatives to address those
issues, and to plan analyses that will be
used to evaluate those alternatives in a
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) analysis.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in the meeting agenda may
come before the SAC for discussion,
those issues may not be the subject of
formal action during these meetings.
Action will be restricted to those issues
specifically listed in this notice and any
issues arising after publication of this
notice that require emergency action
under Section 305(c) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, provided the public
has been notified of the intent to take
final action to address the emergency.
Special Accommodations
These meetings are physically
accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for sign language
interpretation or other auxiliary aids
should be directed to Ms. Carolyn Porter
at (503) 820–2280 at least 5 days prior

ACTION: Notice; affirmative finding.
SUMMARY: The Assistant Administrator
for Fisheries, NMFS, (Assistant
Administrator) has granted a request for
an affirmative finding to the
Government of Ecuador under the
Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA). This affirmative finding will
allow yellowfin tuna harvested in the
eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP) in
compliance with the International
Dolphin Conservation Program (IDCP)
by Ecuadorian-flag purse seine vessels
or purse seine vessels operating under
Ecuadorian jurisdiction to be imported
into the United States. The affirmative
finding was based on review of
documentary evidence submitted by the
Government of Ecuador and obtained
from the Inter-American Tropical Tuna
Commission (IATTC) and the U.S.
Department of State.
DATES: The affirmative finding is
effective from April 1, 2010, through
March 31, 2015, subject to annual
review by NMFS.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Regional Administrator, Southwest
Region, NMFS, 501 West Ocean
Boulevard, Suite 4200, Long Beach, CA
90802–4213; phone 562–980–4000; fax
562–980–4018.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
MMPA, 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq., allows
the entry into the United States of
yellowfin tuna harvested by purse seine
vessels in the ETP under certain
conditions. If requested by the
harvesting nation, the Assistant
Administrator will determine whether
to make an affirmative finding based
upon documentary evidence provided
by the government of the harvesting
nation, the IATTC, or the Department of
State.
The affirmative finding process
requires that the harvesting nation is
meeting its obligations under the IDCP
and obligations of membership in the
IATTC. Every 5 years, the government of
the harvesting nation must request an
affirmative finding and submit the
required documentary evidence directly
to the Assistant Administrator. On an
annual basis, NMFS will review the
affirmative finding and determine
whether the harvesting nation continues
to meet the requirements. A nation may
provide information related to
compliance with IDCP and IATTC
measures directly to NMFS on an
annual basis or may authorize the
IATTC to release the information to
NMFS to annually renew an affirmative
