ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
The Assistant Regional
Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries,
Greater Atlantic Region, NMFS, has
made a preliminary determination that
an Exempted Fishing Permit application
from the Coonamessett Farm
Foundation contains all of the required
information and warrants further
consideration. This Exempted Fishing
Permit would allow a participating
party/charter fishing vessel to
temporarily possess undersized black
sea bass for tagging and biological
sampling purposes. Regulations under
the Magnuson-Stevens 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 March 17, 2021.
ADDRESSES: You may submit written
comments by the following method:
• Email: NMFS.GAR.EFP@noaa.gov.
Include in the subject line ‘‘Comments
on CFF Black Sea Bass Tagging EFP.’’ If
you cannot submit a comment through
this method, please contact Laura
Hansen at 978–281–9225, or email at
Laura.Hansen@noaa.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Laura Hansen, Fishery Management
Specialist, 978–281–9225,
Laura.Hansen@noaa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Coonamessett Farm Foundation (CFF)
submitted a complete application for an
Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) on
October 26, 2020, to conduct fishing
activities that the regulations would
otherwise restrict. The EFP would
authorize a participating vessel to
temporarily possess undersize black sea
bass while conducting tagging
procedures and biological sampling.
This research is designed to tag and
release black sea bass to study
movement patterns, habitat usage, and
migratory cycles for up to the 2-year
battery life of the telemetry tags.
