3224 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 14 / Thursday, January 22, 2015 / Notices 

fishing may be exempt from, at 

minimum, the following regulations: 

1. The prohibition against interfering 

with or biasing the sampling procedure 

employed by an observer including 

physical, mechanical, or other sorting or 

discarding of catch before sampling, at 

§ 679.7(g)(2); 

2. the requirements to weigh all catch 

by an Amendment 80 vessel on a 

NMFS-approved scale at § 679.28(b); 

3. the requirement for all catch by an 

Amendment 80 vessel to be made 

available for sampling by an observer at 

§ 679.93(c)(1); and 

4. the regulations that prohibit fish 

from being allowed to remain on deck 

unless an observer is present at 

§ 679.93(c)(5). 

EFP 2015–02 would require sea 

samplers for monitoring and data 

collection under the EFP. Sea samplers 

are NMFS-certified observers that 

conduct activities under an EFP rather 

than normal observer activities on an 

Amendment 80 vessel. In contrast with 

EFP 2012–01, the applicant proposes to 

commence EFP fishing with one instead 

of two sea samplers. This EFP would 

also allow for EFP fishing and regular 

commercial fishing to occur during a 

single fishing trip. To ensure that 

standards for catch accounting of target 

species, bycatch of groundfish and PSC 

are sufficient, the EFP applicant 

proposes to: (1) Provide advanced 

notification to NMFS and EFP staff of 

when deck sorting will commence, (2) 

provide a pre-cruise briefing with 

observer program staff, (3) phase-in 

electronic compliance monitoring on 

each vessel permitted under this EFP, 

and (4) record halibut mortality from the 

EFP in the catcher/processor elogbook. 

In 2016, the AKSC would be required 

to submit to NMFS a report of the EFP 

results after EFP experimental fishing 

has ended in 2015. The report would 

include an estimate of halibut mortality 

from halibut sampled during the EFP 

and an estimate of halibut mortality 

under standard IPHC halibut mortality 

rates for those target fisheries. 

Under the EFP, the AKSC would be 

limited to the AKSC’s Amendment 80 

groundfish allocation. The amount of 

halibut mortality accrued by the AKSC 

and under the EFP would not exceed 

the AKSC’s 1,693 mt halibut mortality 

limit. The amount of halibut mortality 

applied to the EFP activities would be 

subject to review and approval by 

NMFS. 

This EFP would be valid upon 

issuance in 2015 until either the end of 

2015 or when the halibut mortality 

apportionment is reached in areas of the 

BSAI open to directed fishing by the 

Amendment 80 cooperative. EFPauthorized fishing activities would not 

be expected to change the nature or 

duration of the groundfish fishery, gear 

used, or the amount or species of fish 

caught by the Amendment 80 

cooperative. 

The fieldwork that would be 

conducted under this EFP is not 

expected to have a significant impact on 

the human environment as detailed in 

the categorical exclusion prepared for 

this action (see ADDRESSES). 

In accordance with § 679.6, NMFS has 

determined that the application 

warrants further consideration and has 

forwarded the application to the 

Council to initiate consultation. The 

Council is scheduled to consider the 

EFP application during its February 

2015 meeting, which will be held at the 

Renaissance Hotel, Seattle. The EFP 

application will also be provided to the 

Scientific and Statistical Committee for 

review at the February Council meeting. 

The applicant has been invited to 

appear in support of the application. 

Public Comments 

Interested persons may comment on 

the application at the February 2015 

Council meeting during public 

testimony or until February 11, 2015. 

Information regarding the meeting is 

available at the Council’s Web site at
