Atlantic Highly Migratory Species;
Exempted Fishing Permits
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
On November 16, 2016,
NMFS published a Notice of Intent
(NOI) announcing our intent to issue
exempted fishing permits (EFPs),
scientific research permits (SRPs),
letters of acknowledgement (LOAs), and
display permits for research regarding
highly migratory species (HMS) in 2017.
In the NOI, NMFS requested comments
regarding the issuance of EFPs and
LOAs for HMS research. In general,
EFPs and related permits would
authorize collection of a limited number
of tunas, swordfish, billfishes, and
sharks from Federal waters in the
Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf
of Mexico for the purposes of scientific
data collection and public display.
Comments were accepted on the NOI
until December 16, 2016, and many of
the comments received were related to
white shark research and the need to
provide additional opportunity for
public review of such research before
permits are issued. In this notice, NMFS
summarizes public comments received
on the initial NOI, and announces the
receipt of applications for permits under
the EFP program to conduct research on
white sharks during 2017. NMFS invites
additional public comment on these
requests.
SUMMARY:
Written comments must be
received on or before April 3, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be
submitted by either of the following
methods:
• Email: nmfs.hms.efp2017@
noaa.gov. Include in the subject line the
following identifier: 0648–XE943.
• Mail: Craig Cockrell, Highly
Migratory Species Management Division
(F/SF1), NMFS, 1315 East-West
Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Craig Cockrell at (301) 427–8503. The
comments received on the NOI that
published in November 2016, the
Federal Register notice, and the
applications for EFPs received to date
