SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council and NMFS have implemented AMs for snapper-grouper species, AMs for golden crab, and sector allocations for dolphin. AMs for snapper-grouper species were established in 2010 through Amendments 17A and 17B to the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (75 FR 76874, December 9, 2010, and 75 FR 82280, December 30, 2010, respectively) and in 2012 through the Comprehensive ACL Amendment (77 FR 15916, March 16, 2012) and Amendment 24 to the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (77 FR 34254, June 11, 2012).

The DEIS for the Generic AM and Dolphin Allocation Amendment would consider alternatives to modify existing AMs for these species to provide consistency of AMs among species, and ensure overfishing does not occur. Sector allocations for dolphin were established in 2012 through the Comprehensive ACL Amendment (77 FR 15916, March 16, 2012), using a formula which provided equal weighting to long-term and short-term trends in landings. The long-term landings trend was from 1986 through 2008, and the short-term trend used landings from 2006 through 2008. The DEIS for the Generic AM and Dolphin Allocation Amendment would consider alternatives to modify existing sector allocations for dolphin. NMFS, in collaboration with the Council, will develop a DEIS to describe and analyze alternatives to address the management needs described above including the ‘‘no action’’ alternative. 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. The public is invited to provide written comments on the preliminary issues, which are identified as actions and alternatives in the Generic AM and Dolphin Allocation Amendment scoping document. These preliminary issues may not represent the full range of issues that eventually will be evaluated in the DEIS. After the DEIS associated with Generic AM and Dolphin Allocation Amendment is completed, it will be filed with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). After filing, the EPA will publish a notice of availability 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council and NMFS have implemented AMs 
for snapper-grouper species, AMs for golden crab, and sector 
allocations for dolphin.
    AMs for snapper-grouper species were established in 2010 through 
Amendments 17A and 17B to the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South 
Atlantic Region (75 FR 76874, December 9, 2010, and 75 FR 82280, 
December 30, 2010, respectively) and in 2012 through the Comprehensive 
ACL Amendment (77 FR 15916, March 16, 2012) and Amendment 24 to the 
Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (77 FR 34254, June 
11, 2012). AMs for golden crab were established in 2012 through the 
Comprehensive ACL Amendment (77 FR 15916, March 16, 2012). The DEIS for 
the Generic AM and Dolphin Allocation Amendment would consider 
alternatives to modify existing AMs for these species to provide 
consistency of AMs among species, and ensure overfishing does not 
occur.
    Sector allocations for dolphin were established in 2012 through the 
Comprehensive ACL Amendment (77 FR 15916, March 16, 2012), using a 
formula which provided equal weighting to long-term and short-term 
trends in landings. The long-term landings trend was from 1986 through 
2008, and the short-term trend used landings from 2006 through 2008. 
The DEIS for the Generic AM and Dolphin Allocation Amendment would 
consider alternatives to modify existing sector allocations for 
dolphin.
    NMFS, in collaboration with the Council, will develop a DEIS to 
describe and analyze alternatives to address the management needs 
described above including the ``no action'' alternative. 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. The public is invited to provide written 
comments on the preliminary issues, which are identified as actions and 
alternatives in the Generic AM and Dolphin Allocation Amendment scoping 
document. These preliminary issues may not represent the full range of 
issues that eventually will be evaluated in the DEIS.
    After the DEIS associated with Generic AM and Dolphin Allocation 
Amendment is completed, it will be filed with the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA). After filing, the EPA will publish a notice of 
availability 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 final amendment.
    NMFS will announce, through a document 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.
