There will also be a separate written
comment period for Amendment 14
scoping, which will be described in an
upcoming Federal Register
announcement for the ‘‘Notice of Intent
(NOI)’’ to develop an EIS that
accompanies Amendment 14. That NOI
will also contain information regarding
these scoping hearings, but to provide
the public with sufficient advance
notice this notice is being published
now since the NOI will likely publish
shortly before the scoping hearings.
More details on the topics addressed
in this supplementary information
section may be found in the
Amendment 14 scoping document. The
Amendment 14 scoping document is
available by contacting Dan Furlong (see
above) or online at: https://
www.mafmc.org/fmp/msb.htm.
The Council initiated Amendment 14
to the MSB FMP for two reasons: (1)
There is concern by some stakeholders
that there may be too much capacity in
the squid (both Loligo and Illex)
fisheries and that uncontrolled
activation of latent capacity could cause
negative economic effects for
participants. Implementation of catch
shares may address some of these
concerns; and (2) There is concern by
some stakeholders that more should be
done to monitor and/or minimize the
incidental catch of river herrings
(blueback and alewife) and shads
(American and hickory) in the MSB
fisheries, especially given the currently
low levels of monitoring in the MSB
fisheries and the likely poor stock status
of shads and river herrings.
Related to the above concerns, this
amendment may address one or more of
the following issues: (1) The
implementation of catch share systems
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990

for the squid fisheries to further refine
the existing management process; the
biological and socio-economic outcomes
of a catch share system and how such
outcomes depend on specific program
design features; the possible need for
changes to existing information
collection processes if a catch share
system is implemented; and (2) The
need for additional fishery monitoring
in order to determine the significance of
river herring and shad incidental catch
in the MSB fisheries; and the
effectiveness and impacts of possible
management measures to minimize
bycatch and/or incidental catch of river
herrings and shads in the MSB fisheries.
The Council will first gather
information during the scoping period.
This is the first and best opportunity for
members of the public to raise concerns
related to the scope of issues that will
be considered in Amendment 14. The
Council needs your input both to
identify management issues and
develop effective alternatives. Your
comments early in the amendment
development process will help us
address issues of public concern in a
thorough and appropriate manner.
Comments can be made during the
scoping hearings as described above or
in writing - the written comment period
will be announced soon. If the Council
decides to move forward with
Amendment 14, the Council will
develop a range of management
alternatives to be considered and
prepare a draft Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS) to analyze the impacts
of the management alternatives being
considered as required by the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
Following a review of any comments on
the DEIS, the Council will then choose
preferred management measures for
submission with the Final EIS to the
Secretary of Commerce for publishing of
a proposed and then final rule, both of
which have additional comment
periods.
Special Accommodations
The hearings are physically accessible
to people with disabilities. Requests for
sign language interpretation or other
auxiliary aids should be directed to M.
Jan Saunders at the Mid-Atlantic
Council Office, (302) 526–5251, at least
5 days prior to the meeting date.
