### 37389 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 120 / Thursday, June 21, 2012 / Notices

1 See 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:// www.nefmc.org/ or obtained by calling the Council office at (978) 465–0492.

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. Dated: June 15, 2012. Carrie Selberg, Acting Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
