Board. 

ACTION: Notice of charter renewal. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Rail Vehicles Access Advisory 

Committee’s (RVAAC) charter is being 

renewed. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul

102–3.65(a), and following consultation 

with the Committee Management 

Secretariat, General Services 

Administration, the RVAAC charter is 

renewed. The Committee will provide 

advice to the Access Board on revising

fixed guideway systems (e.g., rapid rail, 

light rail, commuter rail, intercity rail, 

and high speed rail). Additionally, the 

renewal of the RVAAC has been

ACTION: Notice of public scoping 

meetings. 

SUMMARY: The Mid-Atlantic Fishery 

Management Council will hold six 

scoping hearings in April 2015 for an 

Amendment to the Fishery Management 

Plan (FMP) for Atlantic Mackerel, 

Squid, and Butterfish (MSB). The 

current focus of the amendment is to 

consider alternatives to reduce the 

capacities of the longfin squid and Illex 

squid fleets as defined by vessels with 

limited access permits. At the scoping 

hearings the Council will also take any 

general comments on MSB fishery 

management, which could inform future 

Council actions besides this 

Amendment. There will also be a 

separate written comment period for 

Amendment scoping, which will be 

described in an upcoming Federal 

Register announcement as a ‘‘Notice of 

Intent (NOI)’’ to potentially develop an 

EIS that accompanies the Amendment. 

That NOI will also contain information 

regarding these scoping hearings, but to 

provide the public with sufficient 

advance notice of the hearings, this 

notice is being published now since the 

NOI will likely publish shortly before 

the scoping hearings. 

DATES: The meetings will be held over 

several weeks between April 6, 2015 

and April 21, 2015. See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION for specific dates and 

times. 

ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION for specific locations of the 

hearings. 

Council address: Mid-Atlantic Fishery 

Management Council, 800 N. State St., 

Suite 201, Dover, DE 19901; telephone:

Comments: Comments will be taken at 

all scoping hearings. A separate Federal 

Register announcement will be

information on how to make written 

comments.

In the Council’s 2015 Implementation 

Plan (available at http://www.mafmc.

org/strategic-plan/), the Council decided 

to initiate an action on a ‘‘Squid 

Capacity Amendment.’’ There is 

considerable latent capacity in both the 

longfin squid and Illex squid fisheries— 

a small portion of vessels with limited 

access squid permits account for most 

landings in most years. The Council is 

concerned that activation of this latent 

capacity could cause problems in the 

fishery such as racing to fish and 

increased incidental catch of non-target 

species. Accordingly, the Amendment is 

likely to consider a variety of 

approaches for reducing capacity in the 

squid fisheries. Such approaches could
