Amendment 3 will include revisions to EFH designations and the fishing impact analysis that were originally done in the 1999 FMP. It will also include any new information on non-fishing-related activities that may adversely impact spiny dogfish EFH, any appropriate habitat conservation and enhancement recommendations, revisions to the descriptions of prey species and their habitats, and a list of research and information needs. It could also identify Habitat Areas of Particular Concern for spiny dogfish, if appropriate. 2) Rollover of Annual Management Measures: Annual management measures are specified for each spiny dogfish fishing year (May 1 through April 30). If there is a delay in the development of annual management measures for spiny dogfish, the FMP does not currently specify that measures, such as the commercial quota, would continue in effect from one fishing year to the next. The Council is considering modifying the FMP to allow measures to remain in effect at the start of any fishing year if new management measures have not yet been specified for that year. The scoping document for Amendment 3 has been modified to accommodate these two additional issues and may be obtained from the Council office (see ADDRESSES), or by request to the Council by telephone (302) 674–2331, or via the Internet at https://www.mafmc.org/mid-atlantic/ comments/comments.htm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The initial NOI was published in the Federal 
Register on August 5, 2009 (74 FR 39063). This NOI solicited comments 
for the following issues to be addressed in Amendment 3: Including a 
Research-Set-Aside (RSA) provision in the FMP, reviewing various 
commercial quota allocation alternatives, specifying the spiny dogfish 
quota and/or trip limits by sex, creating a limited access spiny 
dogfish permit, and developing management measures for the recreational 
spiny dogfish fishery. Since the initial scoping meetings, two 
additional issues have been identified for consideration in this 
Amendment:
    1) Identify the geographic extent and ecological characteristics of 
EFH for spiny dogfish, and evaluate impacts of the spiny dogfish 
fishery on EFH for all federally managed species in the Northeast 
region. Amendment 3 will include revisions to EFH designations and the 
fishing impact analysis that were originally done in the 1999 FMP. It 
will also include any new information on non-fishing-related activities 
that may adversely impact spiny dogfish EFH, any appropriate habitat 
conservation and enhancement recommendations, revisions to the 
descriptions of prey species and their habitats, and a list of research 
and information needs. It could also identify Habitat Areas of 
Particular Concern for spiny dogfish, if appropriate.
    2) Rollover of Annual Management Measures: Annual management 
measures are specified for each spiny dogfish fishing year (May 1 
through April 30). If there is a delay in the development of annual 
management measures for spiny dogfish, the FMP does not currently 
specify that measures, such as the commercial quota, would continue in 
effect from one fishing year to the next. The Council is considering 
modifying the FMP to allow measures to remain in effect at the start of 
any fishing year if new management measures have not yet been specified 
for that year.
    The scoping document for Amendment 3 has been modified to 
accommodate these two additional issues and may be obtained from the 
Council office (see ADDRESSES), or by request to the Council by 
telephone (302) 674-2331, or via the Internet at https://www.mafmc.org/mid-atlantic/comments/comments.htm.
