Fisheries of the Northeastern United 

States; Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and 

Butterfish Fisheries; Control Date for 

Loligo and Illex Squid 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking (ANPR); notice to reaffirm 

the control date for the Loligo squid 

(Loligo) and Illex squid (Illex) fisheries. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces a future 

proposed rulemaking for the Atlantic 

mackerel, squid, and butterfish (MSB) 

fisheries. This rulemaking could 

institute catch share programs in the 

Loligo and Illex fisheries to manage 

future access in these fisheries in order 

to control capacity. NMFS also reaffirms 

the most recent control date of May 20, 

2003, for the Loligo and Illex fisheries, 

which may be used for establishing 

eligibility criteria for determining levels 

of future access to the squid fisheries. 

This announcement alerts interested 

parties of potential eligibility criteria for 

future access so as to discourage 

speculative entry into the squid 

fisheries while the Mid-Atlantic Fishery 

Management Council (Council) 

considers if and how access to the squid 

fisheries should be controlled with 

catch share programs. 

DATES: Public comments on the ANPR 

must be received no later than 5 p.m., 

eastern standard time, on February 8, 

2010. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by RIN 0648–AY44, by any
