SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf 

of Mexico, South Atlantic, and 

Caribbean Fishery Management 

Councils, in conjunction with NOAA 

Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commissions, 

have implemented the Southeast Data, 

Assessment and Review (SEDAR) 

process, a multi-step method for 

determining the status of fish stocks in 

the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data 

Workshop; (2) Assessment Process 

utilizing webinars; and (3) Review 

Workshop. The product of the Data 

Workshop is a data report which 

compiles and evaluates potential 

datasets and recommends which 

datasets are appropriate for assessment 

analyses. The product of the Assessment 

Process is a stock assessment report 

which describes the fisheries, evaluates 

the status of the stock, estimates 

biological benchmarks, projects future 

population conditions, and recommends 

research and monitoring needs. The 

assessment is independently peer 

reviewed at the Review Workshop. The 

product of the Review Workshop is a 

Summary documenting panel opinions 

regarding the strengths and weaknesses 

of the stock assessment and input data. 

Participants for SEDAR Workshops are 

appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South 

Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery 

Management Councils and NOAA 

Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, 

Highly Migratory Species Management 

Division, and Southeast Fisheries 

Science Center. Participants include: 

Data collectors and database managers; 

stock assessment scientists, biologists, 

and researchers; constituency 

representatives including fishermen, 

environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); 

international experts; and staff of 

Councils, Commissions, and state and 

federal agencies. 

The items of discussion at the post 

workshop webinar are as follows: 

• Review any data issues remaining. 

• Finalize any data decisions 

remaining. 

• Continue discussion on modelling 

issues and decisions. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in this agenda may come 

before this group for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subject of formal

Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; 

Exempted Fishing, Scientific Research, 

Display, and Shark Research Fishery 

Permits; Letters of Acknowledgment 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of intent; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces its intent to 

issue exempted fishing permits (EFPs), 

scientific research permits (SRPs), 

display permits, letters of 

acknowledgment (LOAs), and shark 

research fishery permits for Atlantic 

highly migratory species (HMS) in 2021. 

EFPs and related permits would 

authorize collection of a limited number 

of Atlantic HMS, including tunas, 

swordfish, billfishes, and sharks, from 

Federal waters in the Atlantic Ocean, 

Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico for 

the purposes of scientific research, data 

collection, the investigation of bycatch, 

and public display, among other things. 

LOAs acknowledge that scientific 

research activity aboard a scientific 

research vessel is being conducted. 

Generally, EFPs and related permits 

would be valid from the date of issuance 

through December 31, 2021, unless 

otherwise specified in the permit, 

subject to the terms and conditions of 

individual permits. 

DATES: Written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered by NMFS when issuing EFPs 

and related permits, and must be 

received on or before December 28, 

2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

issues EFPs and related permits where 

Atlantic HMS regulations (e.g., fishing 

seasons, prohibited species, authorized 

gear, closed areas, and minimum sizes) 

may otherwise prohibit the collection of 

live animals and/or biological samples 

for data collection and public display 

purposes or may otherwise prohibit 

certain fishing activities that NMFS has 

an interest in permitting or 

acknowledging. Pursuant to 50 CFR 

parts 600 and 635, NMFS Regional 

Administrator or Director may 

authorize, for limited testing, public 

display, data collection, exploratory 

fishing, compensation fishing, 

conservation engineering, health and 

safety surveys, environmental cleanup, 

and/or hazard removal purposes, the 

target or incidental harvest of species 

managed under a fishery management 

plan (FMP) or fishery regulations that 

would otherwise be prohibited. These 

permits exempt permit holders from the 

specific portions of the regulations that 

may otherwise prohibit the collection of 

Atlantic HMS for public education, 

public display, or scientific research. 

Collection of Atlantic HMS under EFPs, 

SRPs, display permits, and shark 

research fishery permits represents a 

small portion of the overall fishing 

mortality for Atlantic HMS, and this 

mortality is counted against the relevant 

quota, as appropriate and applicable. 

The terms and conditions of individual 

permits are unique; however, all permits 

will include reporting requirements, 

limit the number and/or species of 

Atlantic HMS to be collected, and only 

authorize collection in Federal waters of 

the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and 

Caribbean Sea. 

EFPs and related permits are issued 

under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Reauthorization Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act) (16 U.S.C. 1801 

et seq.) and/or the Atlantic Tunas 

Convention Act (ATCA) (16 U.S.C. 971 

et seq.). Regulations at 50 CFR 600.745 

and 635.32 govern specifically 

authorized activities, including 

scientific research activity, exempted 

fishing, and exempted public display 

and educational activities with respect 

to Atlantic HMS. The MagnusonStevens Act exempts scientific research 

conducted by a scientific research vessel 

from the definition of ‘‘fishing.’’ NMFS 

issues LOAs acknowledging such bona 

fide research activities involving species 

that are only regulated under the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act (e.g., most 

species of sharks) and not under ATCA. 

NMFS generally does not consider 

recreational or commercial vessels to be 

bona fide research vessels. However, if 

the vessels have been contracted only to 

conduct research and not participate in 

any commercial or recreational fishing 

activities during that research, NMFS 

may consider those vessels as bona fide 

research platforms while conducting the 

specified research. For example, in the 

past, NMFS has determined that 

commercial pelagic longline vessels 

assisting with population surveys for 

sharks may be considered ‘‘bona fide 

research vessels’’ while engaged only in 

the specified research. For such 

activities, NMFS reviews scientific 

research plans and may issue an LOA 

acknowledging that the proposed 

activity is scientific research for 

purposes of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. 

Examples of research acknowledged by 

LOAs include tagging and releasing 

sharks during bottom longline surveys 

to understand the distribution and 

seasonal abundance of different shark 

species, and collecting and sampling 

sharks caught during trawl surveys for 

life history and bycatch studies. 

While scientific research is not 

defined as ‘‘fishing’’ subject to the MSA, 

scientific research is not exempt from 

regulation under ATCA. Therefore, 

NMFS issues SRPs that authorize 

researchers to collect HMS from bona 

fide research vessels for collection of 

species managed under this statute (e.g., 

tunas, swordfish, and billfish). One 

example of research conducted under 

SRPs consists of scientific surveys of 

tunas, swordfish, and billfish conducted 

from NOAA research vessels. 

EFPs are issued for activities 

conducted from commercial or 

recreational fishing vessels. Examples of 

activities conducted under EFPs include 

collection of young-of-the-year bluefin 

tuna for genetic research from 

recreational fishing vessels; conducting 

billfish larval tows from private vessels 

to determine billfish habitat use, life 

history, and population structure; and 

tagging sharks caught on commercial or 

recreational fishing gear to determine 

post-release mortality rates. 

NMFS also intends to issue display 

permits for the collection of sharks and 

other HMS for public display in 2021. 

Collection of sharks and other HMS 

sought for public display in aquaria 

often involves collection when the 

commercial fishing seasons are closed, 

collection of otherwise prohibited 

species (e.g., sand tiger sharks), and 

collection of fish below the regulatory 

minimum size. Under Amendment 2 to 

the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic HMS 

FMP, NMFS determined that dusky 

sharks cannot be collected for public 

display. 

The majority of EFPs and related 

permits described in this annual notice 

relate to scientific sampling and tagging 

of Atlantic HMS within existing quotas, 

and the impacts of the activities to be 

conducted usually have been previously 

analyzed in various environmental 

assessments and environmental impact 

statements for Atlantic HMS 

management. In most such cases, NMFS 

intends to issue these permits without 

additional opportunity for public 

comment beyond what is provided in 

this notice. Occasionally, NMFS 

receives applications for research 

activities that were not anticipated, or 

for research that is outside the scope of 

general scientific sampling and tagging 

of Atlantic HMS, or rarely, for research 

that is particularly controversial. Should 

NMFS receive such applications, NMFS 

will provide additional opportunity for 

public comment, consistent with the 

regulations at 50 CFR 600.745. 

On December 4, 2019, NMFS received 

an application for an EFP requesting an 

exemption from the regulations that 

prohibit the retention of bluefin tuna 

with unauthorized gear onboard. See 50 

CFR 635.19(b). This application was 

submitted by the Cape Cod Commercial 

Fishermen’s Alliance (CCCFA). The 

applicants suggested that, with the use 

of electronic monitoring and through 

issuance of an EFP, there would be 

sufficient at-sea monitoring to verify 

that the catch of bluefin tuna occurred 

with authorized gear (i.e., rod and reel 

and harpoon gear) and not with the 

unauthorized gear onboard the vessel 

(i.e., benthic longline, jigging machines, 

handgear, demersal gillnet, or otter 

trawl). An EFP was issued to the CCCFA 

on April 28, 2020 that exempted 10 

vessels from regulations at 50 CFR 

635.19(b). Since issuance of the permit, 

nine trips have been taken from July 

through August in New England, four 

bluefin tuna were retained, and four 

bluefin tuna were lost at the boat. 

Harpoon gear was not used for any of 

the nine trips. There were no shark 

interactions that occurred during fishing 

activities in 2020. Comments are invited 

specifically on these issues related to 

potential issuance of a similar permit to 

the CCCFA in 2021. 

In addition, this notice invites 

comments on the shark research fishery

first implemented through Amendment 

2 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic 

HMS FMP. This research fishery is 

conducted under the auspices of the 

EFP program. Shark research fishery 

permit holders assist NMFS in 

collecting valuable shark life history 

and other scientific data required in 

shark stock assessments. Since the shark 

research fishery was established in 

2008, the research fishery has allowed 

for: The collection of fishery dependent 

data for current and future stock 

assessments; the operation of 

cooperative research to meet NMFS’ 

ongoing research objectives; the 

collection of updated life-history 

information used in the sandbar shark 

(and other species) stock assessment; 

the collection of data on habitat 

preferences that might help reduce 

fishery interactions through bycatch 

mitigation; the evaluation of the utility 

of the mid-Atlantic closed area on the 

recovery of dusky sharks; the collection 

of hook-timer and pop-up satellite 

archival tag information to determine atvessel and post-release mortality of 

dusky sharks; and the collection of 

sharks to update the weight conversion 

factor from dressed weight to whole 

weight. In 2021, NMFS intends to 

examine the feasibility of using 

electronic monitoring to accurately 

measure soak times of bottom longline 

sets. Fishermen who wish to participate 

must fill out an application for a shark 

research fishery permit under the EFP 

program. Shark research fishery 

participants are subject to 100-percent 

observer coverage. In recent years, all 

non-prohibited shark species brought 

back to the vessel dead have been 

required to be retained and were 

counted against the appropriate quotas 

of the shark research fishery participant. 

Additionally, in recent years, all 

participants of the shark research 

fishery were limited to a very small 

number of dusky shark mortalities on a 

regional basis. Once the designated 

number of dusky shark mortalities 

occurs in a specific region, certain terms 

and conditions are applied (e.g., soak 

time limits). If subsequent interactions 

occur in the region all shark research 

fishery activities must stop within that 

region. Participants would continue to 

be limited in the number of sets allowed 

on each trip and the number of hooks 

allowed on each set. All participants are 

also limited to a maximum of 500 hooks 

onboard the vessel while on a shark 

research fishery trip. A Federal Register 

notice describing the specific objectives 

for the shark research fishery in 2021 

and requesting applications from 

interested and eligible shark fishermen 

is expected to publish in the near future. 

NMFS requests public comment 

regarding NMFS’ intent to issue shark 

research fishery permits in 2021 during 

the comment period of this notice. 

The number of specimens that have 

been authorized thus far under EFPs 

and other related permits for 2020, as 

well as the number of specimens 

collected in 2019, is summarized in 

Table 1. The total amount of collections 

in 2019 were within the analyzed quotas 

for all quota managed Atlantic HMS 

species. The number of specimens 

collected in 2020 will be available when 

all 2020 interim and annual reports are 

submitted to NMFS. 

In all cases, mortalities associated 

with EFPs, SRPs, or display permits 

(except for larvae) are counted against 

the appropriate quota. NMFS issued a 

total of 40 EFPs, SRPs, display permits, 

and LOAs in 2019 for the collection of 

HMS and 5 shark research fishery 

permits. As of October 20, 2020, NMFS 

has issued a total of 31 EFPs, SRPs, 

display permits, and LOAs and 8 shark 

research fishery permits.

** Some shark EFPs, SRPs, and LOAs were issued for the purposes of tagging and the opportunistic sampling of sharks and were not expected to result in large amounts of mortality, thus no limits on sampling were set. Some mortality may occur throughout 2020, and will be accounted for under the 60 metric ton shark research and display quota. 

Final decisions on the issuance of any 

EFPs, SRPs, display permits, and shark 

research fishery permits will depend on 

the submission of all required 

information about the proposed 

activities, NMFS’ review of public 

comments received on this notice, an 

applicant’s reporting history on past 

permits, if vessels or applicants were 

issued any prior violations of marine
