SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Currently,
Federal management measures for the
recreational harvest of red snapper are
consistent for the entire Gulf exclusive
economic zone (EEZ). These
management measures include a fishing
season, bag limit, and minimum size
limit. Since 1996, the recreational
fishing season for red snapper has
become progressively shorter. Shorter
seasons have continued despite an
annual increase in the quota since 2010,
because the quota continues to be
harvested in a shorter amount of time.
In Amendment 39, the Council is
considering management measures to
modify and facilitate management of the
recreational red snapper component of
the reef fish fishery by reorganizing the
Federal fishery management strategy to
better account for biological, social, and
economic differences among the regions
of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf). Regional

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 92 / Monday, May 13, 2013 / Notices
management of recreational red snapper
in the Gulf would enable regions and
their associated communities to specify
the optimal management parameters
that best meet the needs of their local
constituents thereby addressing regional
socio-economic concerns. These
alternatives will consider regional
management for the recreational harvest
of red snapper in the Gulf including the
delegation of management to the regions
and accountability measures necessary
to prevent overfishing.
In Amendment 39, the Council is
considering regional management as a
way to provide greater flexibility in
management of recreational red snapper
fishing in the Gulf. Regional
management refers to allowing
regulations to be different for identified
regions of the Gulf, in contrast to
uniform regulations applied to the
entire EEZ. Regionally specific
regulations may be more appropriate to
the fishing preferences of local
fishermen. For example, regulations
could be designed to accommodate
various tourist seasons or rough weather
conditions, thereby optimizing fishing
opportunities regionally around the
Gulf.
The intent behind regional
management is that participating states
or regions could design management
options to better fit their needs.
However, the proposed options must
achieve the same conservation goals as
the Federal management measures in
existence at a given time (i.e., constrain
the catches of participating fishermen to
the region’s allocation of the total
recreational quota). Red snapper would
remain a federally managed species. The
Council and NMFS would continue to
oversee management of the stock. This
includes continuing to comply with the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the
mandate to ensure the red snapper
annual recreational quota is not
exceeded and that conservation
objectives are achieved. The Council’s
Scientific and Statistical Committee
(SSC) would continue to determine the
acceptable biological catch (ABC) for
red snapper, and the Council and NMFS
would determine the total recreational
red snapper quota that could be
allocated among regions.
NMFS, in collaboration with the
Council, will develop a DEIS to describe
and analyze management alternatives to
address the management needs
described above. For the actions and
alternatives, the Council would need to
identify the regions, apportion the
recreational red snapper quota among
the identified regions, and define the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:13 May 10, 2013
Jkt 229001
management measures that may be
modified at the regional level. The
regional management measures that are
most likely to be modified include the
timing (season start and end dates) of
the fishing season, structure (e.g.,
continuous or weekends only) of the
fishing season, and closed areas.
Modifications to the bag limit and
minimum and/or maximum size limits,
including options for a slot limit could
also be considered. A recreational quota
would remain for the entire Gulf and
regional accountability measures (AMs)
will need to be established. At the
regional level, when a regional quota is
projected to be reached, red snapper
fishing would be closed according to the
guiding regional recreational AMs. At
the Gulf-wide level, the total
recreational quota would also need to be
monitored, and when the recreational
quota is reached or projected to be
reached, red snapper fishing could be
closed for the entire Gulf even if a
region has remaining quota.
NMFS, in collaboration with the
Council, will develop a DEIS to describe
and analyze alternatives to address the
management needs described above.
Those alternatives will include a ‘‘no
action’’ alternative for each action.
In accordance with NOAA’s
Administrative Order 216–6, Section
5.02(c), Scoping Process, NMFS, in
collaboration with the Council, has
identified preliminary environmental
issues as a means to initiate discussion
for scoping purposes only. These
preliminary issues may not represent
the full range of issues that eventually
will be evaluated in the DEIS.
After the DEIS associated with
Amendment 39 is completed, it will be
filed with the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). After filing, the EPA will
publish a notice of availability (NOA) of
the DEIS for public comment in the
Federal Register. The DEIS will have a
45-day comment period. This procedure
is pursuant to regulations issued by the
Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ) for implementing the procedural
provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 40
CFR parts 1500–1508) and to NOAA’s
Administrative Order 216–6 regarding
NOAA’s compliance with NEPA and the
CEQ regulations.
The Council and NMFS will consider
public comments received on the DEIS
in developing the final environmental
impact statement (FEIS) and before
voting to submit the final amendment to
NMFS for Secretarial review, approval,
and implementation. NMFS will
announce in the Federal Register the
availability of the final amendment and
FEIS for public review during the

Secretarial review period, and will
consider all public comments prior to
final agency action to approve,
disapprove, or partially approve the
amendment. During Secretarial review,
NMFS will also file the FEIS with the
EPA and the EPA will publish a NOA
for the FEIS in the Federal Register.
NMFS will announce, through a
notice published in the Federal
Register, all public comment periods on
the final amendment, its proposed
implementing regulations, and the
availability of its associated FEIS. NMFS
will consider all public comments
received during the Secretarial review
period, whether they are on the final
amendment, the proposed regulations,
or the FEIS, prior to final agency action.
Public Hearings, Times, and Locations
Public comment will be taken at the
Council meetings in Pensacola, FL, on
June 17–21, 2013, and in San Antonio,
TX, on August 26–30, 2013. In addition,
public comments will be solicited at
Public Hearings which will be
scheduled following the June 2013,
Council meeting. Exact dates, times, and
locations will be announced by the
Council and advertised on the Councils
Web site: https://www.gulfcouncil.org/.
The public will be informed, via a
notification in the Federal Register, of
the exact times, dates, and locations of
future scoping meetings and public
hearings for Amendment 39. Comments
will also be accepted during the
comment periods for the DEIS and NOA
