SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Estuarine Research Reserve
System (NERRS) is a federal-state
partnership administered by NOAA.
The NERRS protects more than 1.3
million acres of estuarine habitat for
long-term research, monitoring,
education, and stewardship throughout
the coastal United States. Established by
the CZMA, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1451
et seq.), each reserve is managed by a
lead state agency or university, with
input from local partners. NOAA
provides funding and national
programmatic guidance to the NERRS.
NOAA received the State of
Connecticut’s nomination of the
proposed Connecticut NERR site on
January 3, 2019. NOAA evaluated the
nomination package and found that the
proposed site met the reserve system
requirements for designation. (See 16
U.S.C. 1461(b).) Accordingly, NOAA
informed the State of Connecticut on
September 27, 2019, that it was
accepting the nomination and that the
next step would be to prepare a DEIS
and DMP. (See 15 CFR 921.13.)
The National Environmental Policy
Act’s (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)
implementing regulations (40 CFR parts
1500–1508) require agencies to provide
public notice of the availability of
environmental documents, including
environmental impact statements (40
CFR 1506.6). Similarly, the CZMA’s
implementing regulations for the
NERRS require NOAA to provide notice
in the Federal Register of the
availability of the DEIS and the
associated public hearing(s) (15 CFR
921.13). This notice is part of NOAA’s
action to comply with these
requirements.
The CT NERR DEIS considers the
human and environmental
consequences of designating the
nominated site, plus four alternative
sites: (1) The Connecticut River site; (2)
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:55 Sep 02, 2021
Jkt 253001
the Lower Connecticut River site; (3) the
revised nominated site; and (4) the no
action alternative. The DMP sets a
course for operating the proposed CT
NERR should it be designated, and
includes plans for administration,
research, education, facilities, and
management of the proposed site. (See
15 CFR 921.13.)
For more detailed information on the
site selection process and the proposed
site, see the Connecticut Department of
Energy and Environmental Protection’s
Connecticut National Estuarine
Research Reserve website: https://
portal.ct.gov/DEEP/Coastal-Resources/
NERR/NERR-Home-Page.
Register on August 23, 2021 (86 FR
47063). Due to the ongoing COVID–19
situation and increasing transmission
rates in the region, the September 13–
17, 2021 meeting of the South Atlantic
Fishery Management Council will be
held via webinar. The meeting was
originally scheduled to take place in
person in Charleston, SC.
Meeting information, including
agendas, overviews, and briefing book
materials will be posted on the
Council’s website at: https://safmc.net/

Agenda
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
The Committee will review
Framework 34, specifically a review of
results of 2021 scallop surveys, and
preliminary projections. The primary
focus of this meeting will be to develop
input on the range of potential
specification alternatives for FY 2022
and FY 2023. Framework 34 will
implement measures approved through
Amendment 21 to the FMP. The action
will set ABC/ACLs, days-at-sea, access
area allocations, total allowable
landings for the Northern Gulf of Maine
(NGOM) management area, targets for
General Category incidental catch,
General Category access area trips and
trip accounting, and set-asides for the
observer and research programs for
fishing year 2022 and default
specifications for fishing year 2023.
They also plan to discuss the 2021 Work
Priorities with a focus on Amendment
21 timelines, including final decision
and implementation. Receive updates
on the progress of the Scallop Survey
Working Group and the evaluation of
rotational management. Develop input,
if needed. The Committee will also
provide input on the range of possible
2022 scallop work priorities. Other
business will be discussed, if necessary.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained on the agenda may come
before this Council for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Council
action will be restricted to those issues
specifically listed in this notice and any
issues arising after publication of this
notice that require emergency action
under section 305(c) of the MagnusonStevens Act, provided the public has
been notified of the Council’s intent to
take final action to address the
emergency. The public also should be
