Pacific Fishery Management Council; Public Meeting, 28898 [2014-11630]

Download as PDF emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES 28898 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 97 / Tuesday, May 20, 2014 / Notices Council decided to add AM actions to Amendment 28, including an ACT and quota overage adjustments, but could also consider other AM alternatives. Although the red snapper stock is not undergoing overfishing, it is considered overfished and under a rebuilding plan. Therefore, constraining recreational landings within the recreational quota and mitigating quota overages will aid in the stock recovery. 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 Amendment 28 draft options paper and action guide. These preliminary issues may not represent the full range of issues that eventually will be evaluated in the DEIS. A copy of the Amendment 28 action guide is available at https://sero.nmfs.noaa.gov/ sustainable_fisheries/gulf_fisheries/ reef_fish/. After the DEIS associated with Amendment 28 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:09 May 19, 2014 Jkt 232001 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.
