same fashion as Alternative 2. Based on
public comments this alternative would
include criteria to determine if taking
during the subsistence harvest is
occurring in a wasteful manner.
Additionally, all fur seal pups to be
harvested from June 23 to December 31
would be sexed before harvesting to
ensure that female pups are detected
and not killed. This alternative would
include provisions for ACSPI and NMFS
to jointly develop harvest monitoring
plans within the co-management
structure intended to minimize sublethal effects to seals not harvested,
maximize detection and avoidance of
females, and prevent wasteful taking.
Public Involvement

Scoping is an early and open process
for determining the scope of issues,
alternatives, and impacts to be
addressed in an EIS, and for identifying
the significant issues related to the
proposed action. A principal objective
of the scoping and public involvement
process is to identify a range of
reasonable management alternatives
that, with adequate analysis, will
delineate critical issues and provide a
clear basis for distinguishing among
those alternatives and selecting a
preferred alternative. NMFS began
informal scoping for this issue in 2007
when it received the petition from the
ACSPI proposing changes in harvest
regulations to better meet the
community’s subsistence need.
NMFS is seeking written public
comments on the scope of issues,
potential impacts, and alternatives that
should be considered for the fur seal
harvest regulations. NMFS is also
seeking public comments regarding
whether the SEIS should evaluate
additional alternatives, such as different
levels of age-specific harvests and
harvest termination thresholds to
manage the subsistence removals of fur
seals on St. Paul Island. Written
comments will be accepted at the
address above (see ADDRESSES). Written
comments should be as specific as
possible to be the most helpful. NMFS
will incorporate scoping comments
received into the Draft SEIS.
