Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 50 / Wednesday, March 13, 2024 / Notices (ne.rw.survey@noaa.gov), or NOAA via phone (866–755–6622), or the U.S. Coast Guard (Channel 16); • All vessels would adhere to a 10knot speed limit when transiting dynamic management areas, transiting areas closed to vertical lines, and/or when whales are observed; • All vessels would adhere to current approach regulations that create a 500yard (1,500-feet (ft)) buffer zone in the presence of a surfacing right whale and would depart immediately at a safe and slow speed. Hauling any fishing gear would cease once the entire string or trawl was aboard the vessel, to accommodate the regulation, and be redeployed only after it was reasonable to assume the whale left the area; and • Law enforcement would be able to inspect gear at any time because one traditional surface-marking would be present at all times. The PI would notify law enforcement agencies (NOAA Office of Law Enforcement (OLE) and Maine Marine Patrol) of project participants and activities in advance of the project start date, including: Æ Materials related to the redeployment of alternative gearretrieval systems, most relevant to the spring-tagline retrieval system; and Æ Information necessary to continue relevant enforcement operations with participant gear. 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. Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. Dated: March 7, 2024.
