Background
Section 204(d) of the MagnusonStevens Act (16 U.S.C. 1824(d))
authorizes the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) to issue a transshipment
permit authorizing a vessel other than a
vessel of the United States to engage in
fishing consisting solely of transporting
fish or fish products at sea from a point
within the United States Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) or, with the
concurrence of a state, within the
boundaries of that state, to a point
outside the United States.
Section 204(d)(3)(D) of the MagnusonStevens Act provides that an application
to transship from U.S. waters to another

has adequate capacity to perform the
transportation for which the application
is submitted has indicated . . . an
interest in performing the transportation
at fair and reasonable rates.’’ NMFS is
publishing this notice as part of its effort
to make such a determination with
respect to the application described
below and specifically seeks comment
from any owner or operator of a vessel
of the United States, which has
