The Assistant Administrator
for Fisheries, NMFS, (Assistant
Administrator) has granted a request for
an affirmative finding annual renewal to
the Government of Mexico under the
Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA). This affirmative finding
renewal will allow yellowfin tuna
harvested in the eastern tropical Pacific
Ocean (ETP) in compliance with the
International Dolphin Conservation
Program (IDCP) by Mexican-flag purse
seine vessels or purse seine vessels
operating under Mexican jurisdiction to
be imported into the United States. The
affirmative finding renewal was based

on review of documentary evidence
submitted by the Government of Mexico
and obtained from the Inter-American
Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) and
the U.S. Department of State.
DATES: The affirmative finding annual
renewal is effective from April 1, 2011,
through March 31, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Regional Administrator, Southwest
Region, NMFS, 501 West Ocean
Boulevard, Suite 4200, Long Beach, CA

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 reviews 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
finding determination without an
application from the harvesting nation.
An affirmative finding will be
terminated, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, if the Assistant
Administrator determines that the
requirements of 50 CFR 216.24(f) are no
longer being met or that a nation is
consistently failing to take enforcement
actions on violations, thereby
diminishing the effectiveness of the
IDCP.
As a part of the affirmative finding
process set forth in 50 CFR 216.24(f), the
Assistant Administrator considered
documentary evidence submitted by the
Government of Mexico and obtained
from the IATTC and the Department of
State and has determined that Mexico
has met the MMPA’s requirements to
receive an affirmative finding annual
renewal.
