1See 17 CFR 145.9. 

sturgeon under the Endangered Species 

Act (ESA) as threatened in the Gulf of 

Maine DPS and as endangered in the 

New York Bight, Chesapeake Bay, 

Carolina, and South Atlantic DPSs. 

Atlantic sturgeon within these DPSs are 

known to interact with the NE 

multispecies fisheries. 

Following the publication of the final 

listing rule, NMFS has initiated formal 

consultation under Section 7 of the ESA 

for the NE Multispecies FMP and is 

developing a comprehensive Biological 

Opinion to ascertain the level of impact 

the fishery may have on these three 

Atlantic sturgeon DPSs. As part of the 

Section 7 consultation, NMFS will 

determine if the NE multispecies fishery 

jeopardizes the continued existence of 

any or all of the DPSs, or if the level of 

interaction may adversely impact but 

does not jeopardize survival of the 

species in any or all of the DPSs. These 

determinations will result in the 

requirement to develop and implement 

measures required by the ESA: Either 

Reasonable and Prudent Alternatives 

(RPAs) to avert survival jeopardy, or 

Reasonable and Prudent Measures 

(RPMs) to mitigate adverse impact on 

the DPSs. 

The Council anticipates that some 

level of action will be necessary to 

develop and implement either RPAs or 

RPMs following completion of NMFS’s 

Section 7 consultation process. In 

anticipation of this action, the Council 

is soliciting public comment on the 

types of measures that may mitigate the 

take and interaction of Atlantic sturgeon 

by the NE multispecies fishery, as well 

as the positive and negative 

environmental effects analysis necessary 

to evaluate these alternatives. The 

Council may elect to develop Atlantic 

sturgeon-related measures in 

conjunction with 2013–2015 catch and 

management measures in an EIS. 

However, if a FONSI can be 

substantiated, the action needed to 

implement Atlantic sturgeon mitigation 

measures may be analyzed in an EA. 

The Council will keep the public 

apprised of the level of NEPA analysis 

being conducted in conjunction with 

Atlantic sturgeon-related measures, as 

development of the overall action 

occurs. 

The timing for development and 

completion of Atlantic sturgeon-related 

mitigation measures is currently 

uncertain. Completion of the Section 7 

consultation is necessary to determine 

the magnitude of impact the NE 

multispecies fishery has on the 

continued survival of Atlantic sturgeon 

from these DPSs. The consultation is 

planned to be completed by September 

2012; the associated Biological Opinion 

will result in development of an 

Incidental Take Statement that will 

recommend RPAs or RPMs. These may 

include a process to develop and put in 

place mitigation measures by a time 

certain. The Council anticipates 

continued dialog with NMFS and the 

interested public regarding what 

requirements must be satisfied while 

consultation is ongoing and after 

consultation has been completed. 

Public Comment 

In addition to soliciting comment on 

this notice, the public will have the 

opportunity to comment on the 

measures and alternatives being 

considered by the Council through 

public meetings and public comment 

periods required by NEPA, the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act, and the 

Administrative Procedure Act. 

The Council’s process for developing 

ACLs, Atlantic sturgeon-related 

mitigation measures and NEPA-required 

analyses, in this case presumably one or 

more EISs, if necessary, will involve 

development work and meetings of the 

Groundfish Plan Development Team, 

Groundfish Committee, the SSC, the 

Recreational and Commercial fishery 

Advisory Panels, and the full Council. 

Information regarding the schedule for 

meetings, including agendas and 

meeting-related documents, involving 

these groups can be found on the 

Council’s Web site: http://

the Council office at (978) 465–0492.

new developments in technology are 

being applied and utilized in the 

industry, and their impact on the 

operation of the markets. The committee 

will allow the Commission to be an 

active participant in market innovation, 

explore the appropriate investment in 

technology, and advise the Commission
