Management Council (Council) will

convene a public meeting of the

Standing and Special Stone Crab

Scientific and Statistical Committees

(SSC).

DATES: The SSC meeting is scheduled to

begin at 8:00 a.m. on June 21, 2000 and

will conclude by 3:00 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at

the Pier House, 1 Duval Street, Key

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management

Council; telephone: 813–228–2815.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Standing and Special Stone Crab SSC

will convene to review an amendment

to the Stone Crab Fishery Management

Plan (FMP). The Stone Crab amendment

proposes to extend the trap certificate

program for the commercial stone crab

fishery adopted by the state of Florida

into the Federal waters off west Florida.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife

Conservation Commission (FFWCC),

after working with the stone crab

industry and the Council over the past

4 years, has adopted by rule a trap

certificate program that will gradually

reduce the number of traps over a 30-

year period. The Florida legislature has

approved the portion of this program

pertaining to licenses and fees. Based on

this review, the SSC may make

recommendations to the Council for

consideration at their meeting in Key

Largo, July 10–14, 2000.

At the conclusion of the Stone Crab

SSC meeting, the Standing SSC will also

review an amendment for a Generic

Amendment Addressing the

Establishment of Tortugas Marine

Reserves, which proposes to establish

the Tortugas South marine reserve that

will encompass the Riley’s Hump

mutton snapper spawning aggregation

site established by the Council in 1994.

The total area of the proposed Tortugas

South marine reserve is 60 square

nautical miles. The amendment also

proposes to create the Tortugas North

marine reserve cooperatively with the

Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary

(FKNMS) program, the state of Florida,

and the National Park system, which

will encompass an area of 120 square

nautical miles. The portion proposed to

be established by the Council is 13

square nautical miles. The Council

proposes that marine reserves be

established for a period of at least 10

years, during which the ecological

benefits of the reserve will be evaluated.

The Council also proposes that fishing

and anchoring be prohibited within the

marine reserves.

Although other non-emergency issues

not on the agendas may come before the

SSCs for discussion, in accordance with

the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

Conservation and Management Act,

those issues may not be the subject of

formal action during these meetings.

Actions of the SSCs will be restricted to

those issues specifically identified in

the agendas and any issues arising after

publication of this notice that require

emergency action under Section 305(c)

of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, provided

the public has been notified of the

Council’s intent to take action to

address the emergency.

Copies of the agenda can be obtained

by calling 813–228–2815.

Permit No. 684–1458 authorizes the

package, the permit holder requests

authorization to anesthetize seals with

the drug Sevoflurane. The permit holder

also requests an increase in the number

of adult female Weddell seals captured

(400 to 500), the number of adult male

Weddell seals fitted with VHF

of Weddell seal pups fitted with
