limits, the EFP will be terminated for 

the remainder of the 2004 fishing year.

All EFP harvests of overfished species 

are expected to be within the EFP setasides within the OYs specified for 

2004. The harvests of other groundfish 

species also are expected to be within 

the Optimum Yields (OYs) specified for 

2004. Therefore, no groundfish OY is 

expected to be exceeded as a result of 

this EFP fishing. At the Pacific Fishery 

Management Council’s (Council) 

November 2003, meeting in Del Mar, 

CA, the applicants presented their EFP 

application to the Council. The Council 

considered the application and 

recommended that NMFS issue the EFP 

for the proposed activity. Data collected 

during this project are expected to have 

a broad significance to the management 

of the groundfish fishery by providing 

information that can be used to examine 

the feasability of using this new discard 

reduction strategy in the trawl fishery 

for the DTS complex. The information 

gathered through this EFP may lead to 

future rulemakings. Copies of the 

applications are available for review 

from NMFS (see ADDRESSES).

Following introductions, NOAA 

Fisheries will present information and 

consult with the Council on a 

recommendation by the Atlantic States 

Fisheries Commission to re-open 

Federal waters to fishing for striped 

bass. The Council will then consider 

final approval of Framework 

Adjustment 16 to the Atlantic Sea 

Scallop Fishery Management Plan 

(FMP)/ Framework Adjustment 39 to the 

Northeast Multispecies FMP. The action 

would allow scallop vessels to fish in 

areas previously closed to them for 

groundfish conservation purposes. 

Measures include, but are not limited to: 

boundaries for the access areas; 

adjustments to the habitat closure 

definitions in the Scallop FMP to be 

consistent with those in Amendment 13 

to the Northeast Multispecies FMP; area 

rotation order and fishing mortality 

targets; a mechanism for allocating trips 

and days-at-sea use in the access areas 

for part-time and occasional limited 

access scallop vessels; specifications for 

minimizing bycatch and bycatch 

mortality, including recommendations 

from the Council’s Groundfish 

Committee; groundfish possession 

limits; observer coverage and an 

associated funding mechanism; and gear 

and other restrictions for general 

category scallop vessels. Following this 

agenda item, the Council intends to 

review and approve comments the 

proposed rule for Amendment 13 to the 

Northeast Multispecies FMP for 

submission to NOAA Fisheries. The 

meeting is scheduled to adjourn after 

any other outstanding business is 

addressed.
