closures for sufficient time to collect
and record length measurements. If the
targeted or incidental species are caught
outside the closed seasons and closed
areas, the commercial fishermen may
retain them and sell them, consistent
with applicable law. Additionally, as
applicable for the targeted and
incidental species described within the
application and this notice, the
applicant would be exempt from bag
limit regulations at 50 CFR
622.437(b)(1).
NMFS finds this application warrants
further consideration based on a
preliminary review. Possible conditions
the agency may impose on this permit,
if it is granted, include but are not
limited to, a prohibition on conducting
sampling activities within marine
protected areas, marine sanctuaries, or
special management zones, without
additional authorization, and requiring
compliance with best practices in the
event of interactions with any protected
species. NMFS may also require annual
reports summarizing the amount of reef
fish species harvested during the
seasonal and area closures, as well as
during the period of effectiveness of any
issued EFP. Additionally, NMFS would
require any sea turtles taken
incidentally during the course of the
activities to be handled with due care to
prevent injury to live specimens,
observed for activity, and returned to
the water.
A final decision on issuance of the
EFP will depend on NMFS’ review of
public comments received on the
application, consultations with the
affected state(s), the Council, and the
U.S. Coast Guard, and a determination
that it is consistent with all applicable
laws.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
The Assistant Regional
Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries,
Greater Atlantic Region, NMFS, has
made a preliminary determination that
an Exempted Fishing Permit application
from the Ocean Associated Incorporated
contains all of the required information
and warrants further consideration. The
Exempted Fishing Permit would allow
one commercial fishing vessel to fish
outside of fishery regulations in support
of research conducted by the applicant.
Regulations under the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act require publication of
this notification to provide interested
parties the opportunity to comment on
applications for proposed Exempted
Fishing Permits.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before July 1, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may submit written
comments by following method:
• Email: nmfs.gar.efp@noaa.gov.
Include in the subject line ‘‘Comments
on OAIRopeless Fishing EFP.’’
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Laura Hansen, Fishery Management
Specialist, 978–281–9225.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Ocean
Associates Incorporated (OAI)
submitted a complete application for an
Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) on
March 12, 2020, to conduct commercial
fishing activities that the regulations
would otherwise restrict. The OAI is
requesting an exemption from Federal
lobster regulations that would authorize
a federally-permitted commercial
lobster vessel to participate in a ropeless
lobster gear study. This EFP would
exempt the participating vessel from the
Federal gear marking requirements
found at 50 CFR 697.21(b)(2). This
would allow for the use of a single buoy
marker on a trawl of more than three
traps.
The purpose of this study is to test a
prototype ropeless fishing system to
potentially prevent entanglements of
protected species, primarily North
Atlantic right whales. This is a
continuation of a study that started in
2018. The traps were deployed on a
commercial fishing vessel in 2019 to get
fishermen confident in deploying the
gear. The trawl was deployed nine times
with soak times ranging from 9–20
minutes in an average depth of 120 ft
(36.5 m). The spool performed as
designed and was retrieved easily with
all deployments. This study is funded
through the NMFS Bycatch Reduction

Frm 00007
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Engineering Program
(NA18NMF4720279).
The EFP would authorize the
participating vessel to deploy two
experimental trawls consisting of five or
more traps. Experimental trawls would
have a rope spool, fitted with an
acoustic release, deployed on one end of
the trawl, with a buoy line attached to
the other. Soak time would be between
2–5 days, but may be modified
depending on what each fisherman
decides is appropriate for fishing.
Sampling would occur from May
through November 2020 in Lobster
Conservation Management Area 3.
Initial deployments would be overseen
by a Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institute engineering team, but later
would be observed by OAI personnel.
There would be 42 deployments of
experimental trawls.
If approved, the applicant may
request minor modifications and
extensions to the EFP throughout the
year. 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. Any
fishing activity conducted outside the
scope of the exempted fishing activity
would be prohibited.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA) requires NMFS to collect fees to
recover the costs directly related to the
management, data collection and
analysis, and enforcement directly
related to and in support of a limited
access privilege program (LAPP) (16
U.S.C. 1854(d)(2)), also called ‘‘cost
recovery.’’ The Pacific Coast Groundfish
Trawl Rationalization Program is a
LAPP, implemented in 2011, and
consists of three sector-specific
programs: The Shorebased IFQ Program,
the Mothership (MS) Co-op Program,
and the Catcher Processer (CP) Co-op
Program. In accordance with the MSA,
and based on a recommended structure
and methodology developed in
coordination with the Pacific Fishery
Management Council, NMFS began
collecting mandatory fees of up to 3
percent of the ex-vessel value of
groundfish from each program
(Shorebased IFQ Program, MS Co-op
Program, and CP Co-op Program) in
2014. NMFS collects the fees to recover
the incremental costs of management,
data collection and analysis, and
enforcement of the Groundfish Trawl
Rationalization Program. Additional
background can be found in the cost
recovery proposed and final rules, 78 FR
7371 (February 1, 2013) and 78 FR
75268 (December 11, 2013),
respectively. The details of cost
recovery for the Groundfish Trawl
Rationalization Program are in
regulation at 50 CFR 660.115 (Trawl
fishery-cost recovery program), 660.140
(Shorebased IFQ Program), 660.150 (MS
Co-op Program), and 660.160 (CP Co-op
Program).
To calculate the fee percentages,
NMFS uses the formula specified in
regulation at § 660.115(b)(1), where the
fee percentage by sector equals the
lower of 3 percent or DPC for that sector
divided by total ex-vessel value (V) for
that sector multiplied by 100 (Fee
percentage = the lower of 3 percent or
(DPC/V) × 100).
‘DPC,’ as defined in the regulations at
§ 660.115(b)(1)(i), are the actual
incremental costs for the previous fiscal
year directly related to the management,
data collection and analysis, and
enforcement of each program
(Shorebased IFQ Program, MS Co-op
Program, and CP Co-op Program).
Actual incremental costs means those
net costs that would not have been
incurred but for the implementation of
the Groundfish Trawl Rationalization
Program, including both increased costs
for new requirements of the program
and reduced costs resulting from any
program efficiencies.
‘‘V’’, as specified at § 660.115(b)(1)(ii),
is the total ex-vessel value, as defined at
§ 660.111, for each sector from the
previous calendar year. The regulations
define ex-vessel value slightly
differently for each sector, thus NMFS
uses slightly different methods to
calculate ‘‘V’’ for each sector. For the
Shorebased IFQ Program, NMFS used
the ex-vessel value for calendar year
2018 as reported in Pacific Fisheries
Information Network (PacFIN) from
shorebased IFQ electronic fish tickets,
as this was the most recent complete set
of data.
NMFS announced the 2020 cost
recovery fees in the Federal Register on
December 11, 2019 (84 FR 67720).
Subsequently, NMFS determined that
the DPC for the Shorebased IFQ Program
inadvertently included costs that were
not recoverable as well as some staff
costs that should have been included.
The recalculation has resulted in an
updated cost recovery fee that will be in
effect for the remainder of the 2020
calendar year.
The adjustments were associated with
the West Coast Region (WCR) staff time
and contracting, Northwest Fisheries
Science Center Scientific Data
Management Program (SDM)
contracting, and the Pacific States
Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC)
grant. These adjustments are shown
below (in Table 1).
