Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; 

Initiation of 5-Year Essential Fish 

Habitat Review 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of initiation of 5-year 

essential fish habitat (EFH) review; 

request for information. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the 

initiation of a 5-year review of EFH for 

Atlantic highly migratory species (HMS) 

under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act). Consistent 

with the regulatory provision stating 

that NMFS should periodically review 

and revise or amend the EFH provisions 

as warranted based on available 

information, the purpose of the 5-year 

review is to evaluate the EFH provisions 

of the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic HMS 

Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and 

determine whether updates to Atlantic 

HMS EFH are warranted. The review 

will be based on the best information or 

data available regarding Atlantic HMS 

and their habitats. NMFS requests 

public submissions of information that 

was not previously included in recent 

updates to Atlantic HMS EFH or has 

become available since publication of 

Final Amendment 10 to the 2006 

Consolidated Atlantic HMS FMP 

(Amendment 10), which reviewed and 

updated HMS EFH in 2017. 

DATES: To allow adequate time to 

conduct this review, NMFS must 

receive your information no later than 

June 6, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Electronic copies of 

information related to the Atlantic HMS 

EFH 5-Year Review may be obtained on 

the HMS Management Division website 

at: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/ 

action/essential-fish-habitat-5-yearreview.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Atlantic 

HMS fisheries (tunas, billfish, 

swordfish, and sharks) are managed 

under the authority of the Atlantic 

Tunas Convention Act (16 U.S.C. 971 et 

seq.) and the Magnuson-Stevens Act (16 

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). The 2006 

Consolidated Atlantic HMS FMP and its 

amendments are implemented by 

regulations at 50 CFR part 635. 

Section 303(a)(7) of the MagnusonStevens Act requires that FMPs describe 

and identify EFH based on the 

guidelines established by the Secretary 

under section 305(b)(1)(A) of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act, minimize to the 

extent practicable adverse effects on 

such habitat caused by fishing, and 

identify other actions to encourage the 

conservation and enhancement of such 

habitat. NMFS published guidelines to 

implement the Magnuson-Stevens Act’s 

EFH provisions in regulations at 50 CFR 

part 600, subpart J—Essential Fish 

Habitat and Subpart K—EFH 

Coordination, Consultations, and 

Recommendations. EFH is defined in 

section 3(10) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Act as ‘‘those waters and substrate 

necessary to fish for spawning, 

breeding, feeding, or growth to 

maturity.’’ The FMP regulations (50 CFR 

600.815) addressing EFH state that 

fishery management councils and NMFS 

should periodically review and revise or 

amend the EFH provisions as warranted 

based on available information 

(§ 600.815(a)(10)). 

In 2009, NMFS completed a 5-year 

review of EFH for Atlantic HMS in Final 

Amendment 1 to the 2006 Consolidated 

Atlantic HMS FMP (Amendment 1) (74 

FR 28018, June 12, 2009). As a result of 

the 5-year review, in Amendment 1, 

NMFS updated and revised existing 

identifications and descriptions of EFH 

for Atlantic HMS, designated a Habitat 

Area of Particular Concern (HAPC) for 

bluefin tuna in the Gulf of Mexico, and 

updated the analysis of fishing and nonfishing impacts to EFH. In 2010, NMFS 

published a Final Environmental Impact 

Statement for Amendment 3 to the 2006 

Consolidated Atlantic HMS FMP that 

designated EFH for smoothhound sharks 

using the same methodology in Final 

Amendment 1. In 2010, NMFS also 

published an interpretive rule and final 

action (75 FR 57698, September 22, 

2010) that added roundscale spearfish to 

the definition of terms in the Atlantic 

HMS regulations to accurately reflect 

the latest species determinations and 

taxonomic classification nomenclature, 

and defined EFH for roundscale 

spearfish. On July 1, 2015, NMFS 

published a Notice of Availability 

regarding the completion of another 5- 

year review of EFH for Atlantic HMS 

and a Notice of Intent to initiate an 

amendment to revise Atlantic HMS EFH 

descriptions and designations (80 FR 

37598). In Final Amendment 10 (82 FR 

42329, September 7, 2017), NMFS 

updated and revised existing 

identifications and descriptions of EFH 

for Atlantic HMS; modified existing 

HAPCs for bluefin tuna and sandbar 

shark; created new HAPCs for lemon 

shark and sand tiger shark; and updated 

the analysis of fishing and non-fishing 

impacts to EFH. 

Public Solicitation of New Information 

To ensure that the 5-year review is 

complete and based on the best data 

available regarding Atlantic HMS and 

their habitats and that the best scientific 

information available is used in the 

description and identification of EFH 

consistent with National Standard 2 of 

the Magnuson-Stevens Act, NMFS is 

soliciting information from the public, 

government agencies, tribes, the 

scientific community, industry, 

environmental entities, and any other 

parties, concerning EFH of Atlantic 

HMS. Categories of requested 

information are based on the 10 EFH 

components identified in FMP 

regulations. These include: (1) 

Description and identification of EFH; 

(2) Fishing activities that may adversely 

affect EFH; (3) Non-Magnuson-Stevens 

Act fishing activities that may adversely 

affect EFH; (4) Non-fishing related 

activities that may adversely affect EFH; 

(5) Cumulative impacts analysis; (6) 

Conservation and enhancement; (7) Prey 

species; (8) Identification of HAPCs; (9) 

Research and information needs; and 

(10) Review and revision of EFH 

components of FMPs (§ 600.815(a)(1)– 

(10)). Any new information will be

considered during the 5-year review and
