New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery 

Management Councils; Public 

Comment 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The New England and MidAtlantic Fishery Management Councils 

seek public comment on a draft 

amendment to all the fishery 

management plans under their purview. 

The omnibus amendment would 

establish a standardized bycatch 

reporting methodology for each fishery 

management plan, as required by the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

December 19, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit written 

comments by any of the following 

methods. 

• Email: nmfs.ner.draftSBRM@

noaa.gov. Include in the subject line 

‘‘Comments on draft SBRM.’’ 

• Mail: John K. Bullard, Regional 

Administrator, NMFS, Northeast 

Regional Office, 55 Great Republic 

Drive, Gloucester, MA 01930. Mark the 

outside of the envelope ‘‘Comments on 

draft SBRM.’’ 

• Fax: (978) 281–9135. 

Copies of the draft SBRM amendment 

may be obtained by contacting the 

NMFS Northeast Regional Office at the 

above address. The documents are also 

available via the internet at: http://

nero.noaa.gov/mediacenter/2013/09/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

303(a)(11) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) requires 

each fishery management plan (FMP) to 

include provisions establishing ‘‘a 

standardized reporting methodology to 

assess the amount and type of bycatch 

occurring in the fishery.’’ The Councils 

and NMFS are considering an omnibus 

amendment to establish a standardized 

bycatch reporting methodology (SBRM) 

or modify existing SBRMs under every 

Northeast Region FMP. NMFS had 

previously implemented an omnibus 

SBRM amendment recommended by the 

Councils. That amendment was vacated 

by a Federal Court and remanded to 

NMFS and the Councils in order to 

develop and implement another SBRM 

amendment consistent with the Court’s 

findings, see Oceana v. Locke et al. (No. 

10–5299). The purpose of the 

amendment is to respond to the remand; 

particularly the appellate court’s finding 

that the level of observer coverage was 

too dependent on the discretion of 

NMFS. This amendment also would 

explain the methods and processes by 

which bycatch is currently monitored 

and assessed for Northeast Region 

fisheries, determine whether these 

methods and processes need to be 

modified and/or supplemented, 

establish standards of precision for 

bycatch estimation for all Northeast 

Region fisheries and, thereby, to 

document the SBRM established for all 

fisheries managed through the FMPs of 

the Northeast Region. The scope of the 

omnibus amendment is limited to those 

fisheries prosecuted in the Federal 

waters of the Northeast Region and 

managed through an FMP developed by 

either the Mid-Atlantic or New England 

Council. 

Alternatives under consideration in 

the omnibus SBRM amendment address 

bycatch reporting and monitoring 

mechanisms, analytical techniques, and 

allocation of at-sea fishery observers 

when funding limits the recommended 

level of observer coverage; 

establishment of a target level for 

precision of bycatch estimates; and 

requirements for reviewing and 

reporting on the efficacy of the SBRM. 

NMFS and the Councils will consider 

all comments received on the draft 

SBRM amendment and the alternatives 

for incorporation into the final 

document until the end of the comment 

period on December 19, 2013. The 

public will have several additional 

opportunities to comment on the SBRM. 

The final amendment will be considered 

for approval by the Councils at public 

meetings in early 2014. Once submitted 

to NMFS, the final SBRM Amendment 

will be made available for public review 

and comment, and regulations will be 

proposed for review and comment.

Needs and Uses: This information 

collection requirement is necessary 

because the Military Services are 

authorized to repay student loans for 

individuals who meet certain criteria 

and who enlist for active military 

service or who enter Reserve service for 

a specific obligated period. Applicants 

who qualify for the program forward the 

DD Form 2475 ‘‘DOD Loan Repayment 

Program (LRP) Annual Application,’’ to 

their Military Service Personnel Office 

for processing. The Military Service 

Personnel Office verifies the 

information and fills in the loan 

repayment date, address, and phone 

number. For the Reserve Components, 

the Military Service Personnel Office 

forwards the DD Form 2475 to the 

lending institution. For active-duty 

service, the Service mails the form to 

the lending institution. The lending 

institution confirms the loan status and 

certification and mails the form back to 

the Military Service Personnel Office.
