‘‘Comments on CFRF Lobster EFP.’’
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Laura Hansen, NOAA Affiliate, (978)
281–9225.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commercial Fisheries Research
Foundation (CFRF) submitted a
complete application for an Exempted
Fishing Permit (EFP) on February 22,
2018, to conduct fishing activities that
the regulations would otherwise restrict.
The EFP would authorize four
commercial fishing vessels to conduct a
study using ventless traps to survey the
abundance and distribution of juvenile
American lobster and Jonah crab in
Lobster Conservation Management Area
(LCMA) 2. Overall, this EFP proposes to
use a total of 144 ventless traps to
survey the abundance and distribution
of juvenile American lobster and Jonah
crab in the Rhode Island/Massachusetts
Wind Energy Area (RI/MA WEA);
covering statistical areas 537 and 539.
Maps depicting these areas are available
on request.
This study is funded through the
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
(Award #M13AC00009). The CFRF is
requesting exemptions from the
following Federal lobster regulations:
1. Gear specification requirements in
50 CFR 697.21(c) to allow for closed
escape vents;
2. Trap limit requirements, as listed in
§ 697.19 (b), for LCMA 2, to be exceeded
by 32 standard survey traps and 48
ventless traps per fishing vessel for a
total of 80 additional traps;
3. Trap tag requirements, as specified
in § 697.19(j), to allow for the use of
untagged traps;
4. Possession restrictions in
§§ 697.20(a), 697.20(d), and 697.20(g) to
allow for temporary onboard biological
sampling of sub-legal lobsters; and,
5. Possession limits and minimum
fish size requirements specified in
§ 648, subsections B and D through O,
for biological sampling purposes.
If the EFP is approved, this study
would take place from May through
November, 2018. Each participating
vessel would have eight trawls with 10
traps per trawl, consisting of 6 ventless
traps and 4 standard traps per trawl.
Each vessel will deploy a trawl at eight
stations twice a month. Gear will be
deployed and retrieved after a five-day
soak period. No more than 144 modified
and 96 standard traps would be in the
water at any time. Modifications to a
standard lobster trap would include a
closed escape vent, a smaller mesh size,
and a smaller entrance head. Traps will
be rigged on trawls that are compliant
with the Atlantic Large Whale Take

Reduction Plan. Each experimental trap
will have the participating fisherman’s
identification attached.
Lobster and Jonah crab retrieved from
the standard and modified traps would
remain onboard for a short period of
time to allow for sampling, after which
they would be returned to the water.
During sampling, biological information
would be collected on all lobsters
caught, including: Carapace length; sex;
cull status; and presence of eggs, vnotches, and shell disease. Bycatch
species would also be kept onboard for
enumeration, weight collection, and
measurement. All species captured in
study traps will be returned promptly to
the water after sampling. In conjunction
with the ventless trap survey within the
RI/MA WEA, the project will include a
lobster tagging program to determine the
seasonal movement patterns and habitat
use by lobsters. Investigators anticipate
tagging of 300 lobsters per month across
the area. Outreach and incentive
programs will be developed to
encourage tag reporting. Permitted
activities would begin on or after May
1, 2018, and continue through
November 2018. No catch from this
project will be landed for sale. All data
collected will be made available to state
and Federal management agencies to
improve and enhance the available data
for these two crustacean species.
If approved, the applicant may
request minor modifications and
extensions to the EFP throughout the
year. We may grant EFP modifications
and extensions may be granted without
further notice if they are deemed
essential to facilitate completion of the
proposed research and have minimal
impacts that do not change the scope or
impact of the initially approved EFP
request. The EFP would prohibit any
fishing activity conducted outside the
scope of the exempted fishing activities.
