SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Atlantic 

HMS fisheries (tunas, billfish, 

swordfish, and sharks) are managed 

under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens 

Act; 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and the 

Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (16 

U.S.C. 971 et seq.). The 2006 

Consolidated Atlantic HMS FMP and its 

amendments are implemented by 

regulations at 50 CFR part 635. 

The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires 

the establishment of an AP for each 

FMP for HMS, i.e., tunas, swordfish, 

billfish, and sharks (16 U.S.C. 

1854(g)(1)(A)–(B)). Since the inception 

of the AP in 1998, NMFS has consulted 

with and considered the comments and 

views of AP members when preparing 

and implementing HMS FMPs or FMP 

amendments. In this notice, NMFS 

solicits nominations for the HMS AP. 

Nominations are being sought to fill 

approximately one-third (10) of the seats 

on the HMS AP for 3-year 

appointments. Individuals with 

definable interests in the recreational 

and commercial fishing and related 

industries, environmental community, 

academia, and non-governmental 

organizations are considered for 

membership on the HMS AP as 

described below. 

Procedures and Guidelines 

A. Nomination Procedures for 

Appointments to the AP 

Nomination packages should include: 

1. The name of the nominee and a 

description of his/her interest in HMS 

or HMS fisheries, or in particular 

species of sharks, swordfish, tunas, or 

billfish; 

2. Contact information, including 

mailing address, phone, and email of 

the nominee; 

3. A statement of background and/or 

qualifications; 

4. A written commitment that the 

nominee shall actively participate in 

good faith, and consistent with ethics 

obligations, in the meetings and tasks of 

the HMS AP; and 

5. A list of outreach resources that the 

nominee has at his/her disposal to 

communicate qualifications for HMS AP 

membership. 

Qualification for membership 

includes one or more of the following: 

(1) experience in HMS recreational 

fisheries; (2) experience in HMS 

commercial fisheries; (3) experience in 

fishery-related industries (e.g., marinas, 

bait and tackle shops); (4) experience in 

the scientific community working with 

HMS; and/or (5) representation of a 

private, non-governmental, regional, 

national, or international organization 

that represents marine fisheries, or 

environmental, governmental, or 

academic interests regarding HMS. 

Tenure for the HMS AP 

Member tenure will be for 3 years, 

with approximately one-third of the 

members’ terms expiring on December 

31 of each year. Nominations are sought 

for terms beginning January 2024 and 

expiring December 2026. 

Members can serve a maximum of 

three consecutive terms (a total of 9 

consecutive years). Afterwards, a 

member must then sit off the HMS AP 

for a single year before becoming 

eligible to apply for a new term. 

B. Participants 

Nominations for the HMS AP will be 

accepted to allow representation from 

commercial and recreational fishing 

interests, academic/scientific interests, 

and the environmental/nongovernmental organization community, 

for individuals who are knowledgeable 

about HMS and/or HMS fisheries. 

Current representation on the HMS AP, 

as shown in Table 1, consists of 12 

members representing commercial 

interests, 12 members representing 

recreational interests, 4 members 

representing environmental interests, 4 

academic representatives, and the 

ICCAT Advisory Committee Chair. 

NMFS seeks to fill five commercial, 

three recreational, one environmental, 

and one academic sector vacancies for 

terms starting in 2024. 

In filling vacancies, NMFS will seek 

to maintain the current representation 

from each of the sectors. NMFS also 

considers species expertise and 

representation from the fishing regions 

(Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, 

Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean) to 

ensure the diversity and balance of the 

HMS AP. Table 1 includes the current 

representation on the HMS AP by 

sector, region, and species with terms 

that are expiring identified in the 

‘‘Member Status’’ column. It is not 

meant to indicate that NMFS will only 

consider persons who have expertise in 

the species or fishing regions that are 

listed. Rather, NMFS will aim toward 

having as diverse and balanced an AP 

as possible. The intent is to have a 

group that, as a whole, reflects an 

appropriate and equitable balance and 

mix of interests given the 

responsibilities of the HMS AP.
