SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 204(d) of the MagnusonStevens Act (16 U.S.C. 1824(d))
authorizes the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) to issue a transshipment
permit authorizing a vessel other than a
vessel of the United States to engage in
fishing consisting solely of transporting
fish or fish products at sea from a point
within the United States Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) or, with the
concurrence of a state, within the
boundaries of that state to a point
outside the United States. In addition,
Public Law 104–297, section 105(e)
directs the Secretary to issue section
204(d) permits for up to 14 Canadian
transport vessels to receive Atlantic
herring harvested by United States
fishermen and to be used in sardine
processing. Transshipment must occur
from within the boundaries of the State
of Maine or within the portion of the
EEZ east of the line 69 degrees 30
minutes west and within 12 nautical
miles from the seaward boundary of that
State.
Section 204(d)(3)(D) of the MagnusonStevens Act provides that an application
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4703

may not be approved until the Secretary
determines that ‘‘no owner or operator of
a vessel of the United States which has
adequate capacity to perform the
transportation for which the application
is submitted has indicated ... an interest
in performing the transportation at fair
and reasonable rates.’’ NMFS is
publishing this notice as part of its effort
to make such a determination with
respect to the application described
below.
Section 204(d)(3)(B) of the MagnusonStevens Act provides that an application
may not be approved until the Secretary
determines that ‘‘the applicant will
comply with the requirements described
in section 201(c)(2) with respect to
activities authorized by any permit
issued pursuant to the application.’’
Section 201(c)(2) identifies multiple
requirements related to monitoring,
compliance, and enforcement, such as
allowing authorized officers to board
and inspect vessels, installation and use
of position-fixing and identification
equipment, and stationing of observers.
Summary of Application
NMFS received an application
requesting authorization for 10
Canadian transport vessels to receive
transfers of herring from United States
purse seine vessels, stop seines, and
weirs for the purpose of transporting the
herring to Canada for processing. The
transshipment operations will occur
within the boundaries of the State of
Maine or within the portion of the EEZ
east of the line 69°30’ W longitude and
within 12 nautical miles from the
seaward boundary of that State.
