(b) Definitions. 

As used in this section— 

Designated representative means any 

Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or 

petty officer who has been designated 

by the COTP to act on the COTP’s 

behalf. A designated representative may 

be on a Coast Guard vessel, or onboard 

a federal, state, or local agency vessel 

that is authorized to act in support of 

the Coast Guard. 

Dignitary means the President or Vice 

President of the United States, or 

visiting heads of foreign states or 

governments. 

(c) Regulations. In accordance with 

the general regulations in 33 CFR 

165.33, no person or vessel may enter or 

move within a security zone created by 

this section while that security zone is 

being enforced unless granted 

permission to do so by the Coast 

Guard’s First District Commander, the 

COTP, or a designated representative. 

Vessel operators and persons given 

permission to enter or operate in a 

security zone must comply with all 

directions given to them by the COTP, 

or a designated representative. Upon 

being hailed by a U.S. Coast Guard or 

other duly authorized law enforcement 

vessel (e.g. New York City police) by 

siren, radio, flashing lights, or other 

means, the operator of a vessel must 

proceed as directed, and follow any 

instructions to anchor or moor up to a 

waterfront facility. 

(d) Enforcement periods. The security 

zone described in paragraph (a)(4) of 

this section is subject to enforcement at 

all times. All other security zones 

established by this section will only be 

enforced when necessary to protect 

dignitaries as determined by the COTP. 

(e) Notification. Because the security 

zone described in paragraph (a)(4) of 

this section is subject to enforcement at 

all times, the Coast Guard will not 

necessarily take any action to further 

notify the public about the enforcement 

of that zone. As for the enforcement 

periods for the other security zones 

contained herein, the Coast Guard will 

rely on the methods described in 33 

CFR 165.7 to notify the public of the 

time and duration of any enforcement 

period. The COTP may also notify the 

public about enforcement of these 

security zones via http://

homeport.uscg.mil/newyork. 

(f) Contact information. Vessel 

operators desiring to enter or operate 

within a security zone shall telephone 

the COTP at 718–354–4356 or a 

designated representative via VHF 

channel 16 to obtain permission to do 

so.

RIN 0648–BC09 

Atlantic Highly Migratory Species 

(HMS); 2006 Consolidated HMS Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP); Amendment 

7 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of installation schedule 

for electronic monitoring equipment. 

SUMMARY: On December 2, 2014, NMFS 

published the final rule for Amendment 

7 to the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP 

(Amendment 7) to ensure sustainable 

management of bluefin tuna consistent 

with the 2006 HMS FMP and address 

ongoing challenges in the Atlantic 

bluefin tuna fisheries. The regulations 

implemented by the final rule require 

that an owner or operator of a 

commercial vessel permitted or required 

to be permitted in the Atlantic Tunas 

Longline category and that has pelagic 

longline gear on board that vessel, have 

installed, operate, and maintain an 

electronic monitoring (EM) system on 

the vessel. To enable vessels to comply 

with the EM requirements, NMFS is 

scheduling dates and locations for 

installation of, and training on the 

operation of, EM equipment on up to 

135 vessels that were deemed eligible 

for initial bluefin tuna quota shares in 

Amendment 7. Although most 

Amendment 7 measures are effective as 

of January 1, 2015, the final rule 

specifies that EM installation must be 

completed by June 1, 2015, to fish with 

pelagic longline gear after that date. 

Therefore, in this notice NMFS is 

scheduling EM installations between 

January 1 and June 1, 2015. Pursuant to 

Amendment 7, NMFS is also providing 

information about the EM installation 

process. 

DATES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

for installation dates, times, and 

locations. 

ADDRESSES: Installation of EM 

equipment is scheduled at the following 

ports: Cape Canaveral, FL; Panama City, 

FL; Dulac, LA; Wanchese, NC, Beaufort, 

NC, and Barnegat Light, NJ. See 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for specific 

dates, times, and locations.

Thomas Warren or Brad McHale at 978– 

281–9260; or Craig Cockrell at 301–427– 

8503. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Atlantic 

tuna fisheries are managed under the 

dual authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the 

Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA). 

Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, 

NMFS must manage fisheries to 

maintain optimum yield on a 

continuing basis while preventing 

overfishing. ATCA authorizes the 

Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to 

promulgate regulations as may be 

necessary and appropriate to carry out 

recommendations of the International 

Commission for the Conservation of 

Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). The authority 

to issue regulations under the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act and ATCA has 

been delegated from the Secretary to the 

Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, 

NMFS. Management of these species is 

described in the 2006 Consolidated 

HMS FMP, which is implemented by 

regulations at 50 CFR part 635. 

Amendment 7 to the 2006 Consolidated 

HMS FMP may be found online at: 

http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/hms/

documents/fmp/am7/index.html. 

On December 2, 2014, NMFS 

published the final rule for Amendment 

7 to the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP 

to, among other things, take actions 

related to the operation and 

management of the Atlantic bluefin tuna 

fishery, including measures applicable 

to the pelagic longline fishery, including 

Individual Bluefin Quotas (IBQs) and 

expanded monitoring requirements, 

including electronic monitoring via 

cameras (79 FR 71510). The regulations 

implemented by the final rule require 

that an owner or operator of a 

commercial vessel permitted or required 

to be permitted in the Atlantic Tunas 

Longline category and that has pelagic 

longline gear on board that vessel, have 

installed, operate, and maintain an EM 

system on the vessel. To enable eligible 

vessels to comply with the EM 

requirements, NMFS is scheduling dates 

and locations for installation of and 

training on the operation of EM 

equipment. Although most Amendment 

7 measures are effective as of January 1, 

2015, EM installation must be 

completed by June 1, 2015, to fish with 

pelagic longline gear after that date. 

NMFS has identified funds to pay for 

the required equipment and its initial 

installation prior to June 1, 2015, for the 

currently eligible vessels (135 vessels 

with Atlantic Tunas Longline permits 

deemed eligible to receive Individual 

Bluefin Quota (IBQ) shares pursuant to 

Amendment 7). This will ease the 

regulated community’s burden 

associated with the new monitoring 

requirements. NMFS sent certified 

letters on December 4, 2014, to the 

permit holders to inform them of the 

eligibility status of their Atlantic Tunas 

Longline permit. Funding for future 

equipment and installations, and 

installations of EM on vessels other than 

the 135 initially identified is uncertain, 

as is installation after June 1, 2015, even 

for eligible vessels. The following 

descriptions and instructions are 

consistent with the Amendment 7 final 

rule: 

Vessel owners and/or operators 

should, in the near future, call 

Saltwater, Inc., the NMFS-approved 

contractor, at 800–770–3241, to 

schedule EM installation and training 

for eligible vessels at one of the ports 

specified in Table 1, and to discuss 

logistics (time, precise location, etc.) 

with the contractor. As specified in the 

final rule, prior to the scheduled date of 

installation, vessel owners/operators 

must purchase a fitting for the pressure 

side of the line of the drum hydraulic
