SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
204(e) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes the
Secretary of State, with the concurrence
of the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) and in consultation with the
Council, to negotiate and enter into a
Pacific Insular Area fishery agreement
(PIAFA). A PIAFA would allow foreign
fishing within the U.S. Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) adjacent to
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

American Samoa, Guam, or the
Northern Mariana Islands. The Governor
of the Pacific Insular Area to which the
PIAFA applies must request the PIAFA.
The Secretary of State may negotiate
and enter the PIAFA after consultation
with, and concurrence of, the applicable
Governor.
Before entering into a PIAFA, the
applicable Governor, with concurrence
of the Council, must develop and
submit to the Secretary a three-year
MCP for review and approval. The MCP
must provide details on the uses for any
funds collected by the Secretary. NMFS
is the designee of the Secretary for MCP
review and approval. The MagnusonStevens Act requires payments received
under a PIAFA to be deposited into the
United States Treasury and then
conveyed to the Treasury of the Pacific
Insular Area for which funds were
collected.
In the case of violations by foreign
fishing vessels in the EEZ around any
Pacific Insular Area, amounts received
by the Secretary attributable to fines and
penalties imposed under the MagnusonStevens Act (including sums collected
from the forfeiture and disposition or
sale of property seized subject to its
authority) are deposited into the
Treasury of the Pacific Insular Area
adjacent to the EEZ in which the
violation occurred, after direct costs of
the enforcement action are subtracted.
The Pacific Insular Area government
may use funds deposited into the
treasury of the Pacific Insular Area for
fisheries enforcement and for
implementation of an MCP.
Federal regulations at 50 CFR 665.819
authorize NMFS to specify catch limits
of longline-caught bigeye tuna for U.S.
territories. NMFS may also authorize
each territory to allocate a portion of
that limit to U.S. longline fishing vessels
that are permitted to fish under the
Fishery Ecosystem Plan for Pelagic
Fisheries of the Western Pacific (FEP).
Payments collected under specified
fishing agreements are deposited into
the Western Pacific Sustainable
Fisheries Fund. Any funds attributable
to a particular fund, and any funds
attributable to a particular territory, may
be used only for implementation of that
territory’s MCP.
An MCP must be consistent with the
Council’s FEPs, must identify
conservation and management
objectives (including criteria for
determining when such objectives are
met), and must prioritize planned
marine conservation projects. At its June
2021 meeting, the Council reviewed and
concurred with the American Samoa
MCP. On July 21, 2021, the Governor of
American Samoa submitted the MCP to
PO 00000
Frm 00017

Sfmt 4703
NMFS for review and approval. The
following briefly describes the
objectives of the MCP. Please refer to the
MCP for planned projects and activities
designed to meet each objective, the
evaluative criteria, and priority ranking.
The MCP contains six conservation and
management objectives, listed below.
1. Maximize social and economic
benefits through sustainable fisheries;
2. Support quality scientific research
to assess and manage fisheries;
3. Promote an ecosystem approach in
fisheries management;
4. Recognize the importance of island
culture and traditional fishing in
managing fishery resources and foster
opportunities for participation;
5. Promote education and outreach
activities and regional collaboration
regarding fisheries conservation;
6. Encourage development of
technologies and methods to achieve the
most effective level of enforcement and
to ensure safety at sea.
This notice announces that NMFS has
reviewed the MCP, and has determined
that it satisfies the requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act. Accordingly,
NMFS has approved the MCP for the 3year period from July 25, 2021, through
July 24, 2024. This MCP supersedes the
MCP previously approved for the period
July 25, 2018, through July 24, 2021 (83
FR 42490, August 22, 2018).
Dated: July 29, 2021.
