ACTION: Notice of application for 

transshipment permit; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS publishes for public 

review and comment information 

regarding a permit application for 

transshipment of farmed salmon from 

aquaculture operations in Maine waters 

to processing plants in Canada by 

Canadian flagged vessels. NMFS 

approved permits in January 2022 for 

four vessels for the entity requesting the 

permit, True North Salmon Limited 

Partnership and 697002 NB, Inc. The 

recent application is for one additional 

vessel to perform the same functions as 

the four previously permitted vessels. 

The application for a transshipment 

permit is submitted under provisions of 

the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act). This action is 

necessary for NMFS to make a 

determination that the permit 

application can be approved. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received by March 31, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this 

action, identified by ‘RTID 0648– 

XB745’, should be sent to Kent Laborde 

in the NMFS Office of International 

Affairs and Seafood Inspection by email 

at kent.laborde@noaa.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kent 

Laborde at (301) 427–8364 or by email 

at kent.laborde@noaa.gov. 

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. 

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

to transship from U.S. waters to another 

country using non-U.S. vessels may not 

be approved until the Secretary 

determines that no owner or operator of 

a U.S. vessel with 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 received no public 

comment on its previous notice (86 FR 

72579, December 22, 2021) regarding 

the four Canadian flagged vessels for 

which NMFS issued transshipment 

permits in January, 2022. Therefore, 

NMFS maintains its prior conclusion 

that no U.S. vessels have an interest in 

performing the transport. NMFS is 

publishing this notice to inform the 

public that one additional vessel for the 

aforementioned entity will be permitted 

to perform the activities described 

below. 

Summary of Application 

NMFS received an application from 

True North Salmon Limited Partnership 

and 697002 NB, Inc, requesting 

authorization to transfer salmon from 

United States farm pens in Maine waters 

to one Canadian vessel for the purpose 

of transporting the salmon to Black’s 

Harbour, Canada for processing. This 

vessel would be in addition to the four 

vessels permitted in January of 2022 to 

perform the same activities. The 

transshipment operations will occur 

within the boundaries of the State of 

Maine, and within 12 nautical miles 

(22.22 kilometers) from Maine’s seaward 

boundary.
