On
November 17, 2014, notice was
published in the Federal Register (79
FR 68413) of a request for a permit to
conduct research on shortnose sturgeon
had been submitted by the above-named
applicant. On June 26, 2015, notice was
published in the Federal Register (80
FR 36770) that the application was
amended to include a request to
conduct research on Atlantic sturgeon.
The requested permit has been issued
under the authority of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA;
16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the
regulations governing the taking,
importing, and exporting of endangered
and threatened species (50 CFR parts
222–226).
Permit No. 19255 authorizes annual
takes of endangered shortnose and
Atlantic sturgeon to document nursery
areas, individual movement patterns,
seasonal movements, home ranges, and
habitat usage(s) in the Delaware River.
The authorized activities include
capture of shortnose and Atlantic
shortnose with gillnets. It also
authorizes individuals to be weighed,
measured, marked with Passive
Integrated Transponder (PIT), T-bar
tagged, anesthetized, acoustic tagged,
genetic tissue sampled, gastric lavaged,
and photographed. It also authorized
one unintentional mortality per species
during the life of the permit. Specific
activities and number of animals
authorized per species are found on the
permit. The shortnose sturgeon research
activities are a continuation of the ones
authorized under the DNREC expired
Permit No. 14396 (75 FR 4043). The
Atlantic sturgeon research activities
were incorporated from the ones
authorized under the DNREC Permit No.
16431 (76 FR 58469), which was set to
expire April 5, 2017. Permit No. 16431
was terminated with issuance of Permit
No. 19225, valid until February 5, 2021.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permit (1) was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered or
threatened species, and (3) is consistent
with the purposes and policies set forth
in section 2 of the ESA.

have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing a workshop and webinars; and
(3) Review Workshop. The product of
the Data Workshop is a data report
which compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
Highly Migratory Species Management
Division, and Southeast Fisheries
Science Center. Participants include:
data collectors and database managers;
stock assessment scientists, biologists,
and researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion in the Review
Workshop are as follows:
Independent peer review of the
assessment developed during the Data
Workshop and Assessment Process.
Panelists will review the assessment
and document their comments and
recommendations in a Summary Report.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during these meetings. Action
will be restricted to those issues
specifically identified in this notice and
any issues arising after publication of
this notice that require emergency
action under section 305(c) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
provided the public has been notified of
the intent to take final action to address
the emergency.

ACL of FLK/EFL Hogfish in numbers of
fish. The Council stated at their
September 2015 meeting in Hilton
Head, SC that they would like the
recreational ACL for the FLK/EFL stock
of Hogfish to be set in numbers rather
than in pounds. Items to be addressed
during this meeting:
Review and comment on the risks and
uncertainties associated with proposed
methods for calculating the recreational
ACL of the FLK/EFL Hogfish stock in
numbers. The SSC will provide
recommendations for Council
consideration as appropriate.
