SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 204(d) of the MagnusonStevens Act (16 U.S.C. 1824(d)) 

authorizes the Secretary of Commerce 

(Secretary) to issue a transshipment 

permit authorizing a vessel other than a 

vessel of the United States to engage in 

fishing consisting solely of transporting 

fish or fish products at sea from a point 

within the United States Exclusive 

Economic Zone (EEZ) or, with the 

concurrence of a state, within the 

boundaries of that state, to a point 

outside the United States. In addition, 

Public Law 104–297, section 105(e), 

directs the Secretary to issue section 

204(d) permits to up to 14 Canadian 

transport vessels that are not equipped 

for fish harvesting or processing, for the 

transshipment of Atlantic herring 

harvested by United States fishermen 

and to be used solely in sardine 

processing. Transshipment must occur 

from within the boundaries of the State 

of Maine or within the portion of the 

EEZ east of the line 69 degrees 30 

minutes west and within 12 nautical 

miles from Maine’s seaward boundary. 

Section 204(d)(3)(D) of the MagnusonStevens Act provides that an application 

may not be approved until the Secretary 

determines that no owner or operator of 

a vessel of the United States which has 

adequate capacity to perform the 

transportation for which the application 

is submitted has indicated an interest in 

performing the transportation at fair and 

reasonable rates. NMFS is publishing 

this notice as part of its effort to make 

such a determination with respect to the 

application described below. 

Summary of Application 

NMFS received an application 

requesting authorization for four 

Canadian transport vessels to receive 

transfers of herring from United States 

purse seine vessels, stop seines, and 

weirs for the purpose of transporting the 

herring to Canada for sardine 

processing. The transshipment 

operations will occur within the 

boundaries of the State of Maine or 

within the portion of the EEZ east of the 

line 69° 30′ W longitude and within 12 

nautical miles from Maine’s seaward 

boundary.
