SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1, 

2009 and June 16, 2009, notice was 

published in the Federal Register (74 

FR 31413 and 74 FR 29179) that an 

amendment to Permit No. 774–1847–03 

and an amendment to Permit No. 1032– 

1917 had been requested by the abovenamed individuals. The requested 

amendments have been granted under 

the authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 

U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), and the regulations 

governing the taking and importing of 

marine mammals (50 CFR part 216). 

The amendment to Permit No. 774– 

1847–03 authorizes a Weddell seal 

(Leptonychotes weddellii) study to 

understand movements, site fidelity, 

and demographics of this species in 

Antarctica. Up to 60 Weddell seals will 

be taken annually. Seals will be 

instrumented and sampled (blood, 

vibrissae, muscle/blubber, milk, and 

tissue). Up to 4 research-related 

mortalities of Weddell seals (2 adults 

and 2 juveniles) are authorized 

annually. The holder is also authorized 

to deploy microprocessors attached to 

flipper tags on Antarctic fur seals 

(Arctophalus gazella), increase the 

number of tissue samples collected from

fur seals, increase the number of leopard 

seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) and fur seals 

tagged (for the purposes of retagging), 

and use an unmanned aircraft system 

for aerial photography. These activities 

are authorized for the duration of the 

permit, which expires on September 30, 

2011. 

The amendment to Permit No. 1032– 

1917 authorizes the use of a small 

temperature logging tag on Weddell seal 

pups in the Erebus Bay, McMurdo 

Sound, Ross Sea, and White Island areas 

of Antarctica.. The additional tag will be 

used to measure the amount of time 

pups spend in the water. This 

information will be used as part of the 

mass dynamics studies. This activity is 

authorized for the duration of the 

permit, which expires on October 1, 

2012.

Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; 

General Provisions for Domestic 

Fisheries; Application for Exempted 

Fishing Permit 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Assistant Regional 

Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries, 

Northeast Region, NMFS (Assistant 

Regional Administrator) has made a 

preliminary determination that the 

subject programmatic Exempted Fishing 

Permit (EFP) application for the Study 

Fleet Program contains all of the 

required information and warrants 

further consideration. Study Fleet 

projects are managed by the University 

of Massachusetts Dartmouth School of 

Marine Science and Technology 

(SMAST). The programmatic EFP would 

grant exemptions from minimum fish 

sizes, and possession and landing 

limits. However, further review and 

consultation may be necessary before a 

final determination is made to issue the 

EFP. Therefore, NMFS announces that 

the Assistant Regional Administrator 

proposes to issue a programmatic EFP 

that would allow seven vessels to 

conduct fishing operations that are 

otherwise restricted by the regulations 

governing the fisheries of the 

Northeastern United States. 

Regulations under the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act require publication of 

this notification to provide interested 

parties the opportunity to comment on 

applications for proposed EFPs. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 29, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on this notice 

may be submitted by e-mail. The 

mailbox address for providing e-mail 

comments is NERO.EFP@noaa.gov. 

Include in the subject line of the e-mail 

comment the following document 

identifier: ‘‘Comments on SMAST Study 

Fleet Programmatic EFP.’’ Written 

comments should be sent to Patricia A. 

Kurkul, Regional Administrator, NMFS, 

Northeast Regional Office, 55 Great 

Republic Drive, Gloucester, MA 01930. 

Mark the outside of the envelope 

‘‘Comments on SMAST Study Fleet 

Programmatic EFP.’’ Comments may

Specialist, phone: 978–281–9122. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A 

complete application for an EFP was 

submitted by SMAST on May 26, 2009. 

The EFP would exempt federally 

permitted commercial fishing vessels 

from the regulations detailed below 

while participating in the following 

projects managed by SMAST: 

(1) Georges Bank (GB) Multispecies 

Otter Trawl Net Study Fleet (seven 

vessels); 

(2) Skate and Monkfish Age 

Validation Research and American 

Lobster Shell Disease Research (seven 

vessels). 

The primary goal of the GB 

Multispecies Otter Trawl Net study fleet 

is to characterize catch on an effort level 

and collect size distributions of kept 

and discarded catch by: 1) Training 

fishermen to representatively sample 

their catch, measuring 100 kept and 100 

discarded fish for each statistical area 

fished per trip for each species that is 

assessed using an analytical stock 

assessment; 2) developing data 

protocols to integrate biological 

sampling into study fleet databases, 

including application of electronic 

measuring onboard; 3) measuring 100 

kept and 100 discarded skates for each 

statistical area fished per trip for each 

species; and 4) measuring Atlantic 

wolffish when available. 

The project is a continuation of 

research conducted since 2000 by 

SMAST, and which is now in its third 

phase of incorporating electronic 

reporting and EFPs for vessels collecting 

data. While fishing under Northeast 

(NE) multispecies day-at-sea (DAS), 

catch estimations would be derived by 

one of three methods: 1) Measuring 

actual weight using an electronic scale; 

2) using basket weight, calculated by 

using a standard weight for a basket and 

counting the number of baskets filled; or 

3) by using hail weight that is estimated 

by the crew. Length and weight 

measurements of 100 kept and 100 

discarded fish, by statistical area, would 

be taken from a predetermined list of 

species (see Table 1). The landing of fish 

for sale at authorized dealers would be 

conducted according to each vessel’s 

fishing permits and within current 

regulations. Temporary exemptions 

from the NE multispecies possession 

limits at § 648.86, and NE multispecies 

minimum fish sizes at § 648.83(a)(3), are 

necessary to obtain the proposed data 

from undersized individuals, prohibited 

species, and/or fish in excess of trip 

limits. Similarly, temporary exemptions 

from monkfish possession limits at 

§ 648.94(a) and (b), and monkfish 

minimum fish sizes at § 648.93, are 

necessary to obtain data from 

undersized individuals in excess of trip 

limits. Exemptions from skate 

possession restrictions at 

§ 648.322(a)(1), and prohibitions on 

possession of skates at § 648.322(c)(1), 

are also necessary, as these species may 

be encountered when catch estimation 

is being completed. Vessels would be 

prohibited from landing undersized fish 

or amounts of fish greater than the 

allowable landing limits.
