Policy for Evaluating Sea Service 

Aboard Liftboats 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces 

the availability of Office of Commercial 

Vessel Compliance (CVC) Policy Letter 

14–03, Evaluating Sea Service Aboard 

Liftboats. This policy letter will provide 

guidance to mariners concerning 

endorsements to Merchant Mariner 

Credentials (MMC) for service on 

liftboats. 

DATES: This policy letter is effective on 

April 6, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions about this notice of 

availability, call or email Luke B. 

Harden, Mariner Credentialing Program 

Policy Division (CG–CVC–4), U.S. Coast 

Guard; telephone 202–372–2357, or

Discussion 

Liftboats spend significant periods 

elevated at work sites and are not 

underway at those times. The time a 

liftboat spends underway is generally 

limited to travelling to and from a job 

site, and may be a relatively small 

portion of the total time the liftboat is 

in operation. Because of these 

specialized operations, the Coast Guard 

considers liftboats to be unique vessels 

and has evaluated sea service on 

liftboats to determine its equivalency to 

traditional service. 

This policy letter describes policy for 

the Coast Guards’ evaluation of service 

obtained on liftboats used to qualify for 

national officer endorsements to an 

MMC. 

Authority 

This notice of availability is issued 

under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

Fisheries of the Northeastern United 

States; Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery 

and Northeast Multispecies Fishery; 

Framework Adjustment 26; 

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife; 

Sea Turtle Conservation 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: NMFS approves and 

implements through regulations the 

measures included in Framework 

Adjustment 26 to the Atlantic Sea 

Scallop Fishery Management Plan, 

which the New England Fishery 

Management Council adopted and 

submitted to NMFS for approval. The 

purpose of Framework 26 is to prevent 

overfishing, improve yield-per-recruit, 

and improve the overall management of 

the Atlantic sea scallop fishery. 

Framework 26 sets fishing specifications 

for 2015, including catch limits, days-atsea allocations, individual fishing 

quotas, and sea scallop access area trip 

allocations. In addition, Framework 26 

closes a portion of the Elephant Trunk 

Access Area and extends the boundaries 

of the Nantucket Lightship Access Area 

to protect small scallops, adjusts the 

State Waters Exemption Program, allows 

for Vessel Monitoring System 

declaration changes for vessels to steam 

home with product on board, 

implements a proactive accountability 

measure to protect windowpane 

flounder and yellowtail flounder, aligns 

two gear measures designed to protect 

sea turtles, and implements other 

measures to improve the management of 

the scallop fishery. Aligning the gear 

measures designed to protect sea turtles 

involves modifying existing regulations 

implemented under the Endangered 

Species Act; therefore, this action is 

implemented under joint authority of 

the Endangered Species Act and the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act. 

DATES: Effective May 1, 2015, except for 

the amendment to § 648.51(b)(4)(iv), 

which will be effective May 21, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: The Council developed an 

environmental assessment (EA) for this 

action that describes the action and 

other considered alternatives and 

provides a thorough analysis of the 

impacts of these measures. Copies of the 

Framework, the EA, and the Initial 

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA), 

are available upon request from Thomas 

A. Nies, Executive Director, New 

England Fishery Management Council, 

50 Water Street, Newburyport, MA 

01950. The EA/IRFA is also accessible 

via the Internet at http://www.nefmc.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Council adopted Framework 26 

on November 20, 2014, and submitted it 

to NMFS on February 17, 2015, for 

review and approval. Framework 26 

specifies measures for fishing year 2015, 

but includes fishing year 2016 measures 

that will go into place as a default, 

should the next specifications-setting 

framework be delayed beyond the start 

of fishing year 2016. Fishing year 2015 

default allocations have been in place 

since March 1, 2015, and allow for only 

17 DAS and zero access area trips. The 

default measures are replaced by the 

higher Framework 26 allocations 

described below. Details concerning the 

development of these measures were 

contained in the preamble of the 

proposed rule and are not repeated here. 

Specification of Scallop Overfishing 

Limit (OFL), Acceptable Biological 

Catch (ABC), Annual Catch Limits 

(ACLs), Annual Catch Targets (ACTs), 

and Set-Asides for the 2015 Fishing 

Year and Default Specifications for 

Fishing Year 2016 

The allocations incorporate new 

biomass reference points that resulted 

from the Northeast Fisheries Science 

Center’s most recent scallop stock 

benchmark assessment that was 

completed in July 2014. The assessment 

reviewed and updated the data and 

models used to assess the scallop stock 

and ultimately updated the reference 

points for status determinations. A 

comparison of the old and new 

reference points is outlined in Table 1.
