The April 16 session will begin with

reports from the Council Chairman;

Executive Director; Regional

Administrator, Northeast Region,

NMFS; representatives from the

Northeast Fisheries Science Center;

Atlantic States Marine Fisheries

Commission (ASMFC); U.S. Coast

Guard; and the Mid-Atlantic Fishery

Management Council liaison. The

Director of the Office of Sustainable

Development will brief the Council on

possible financial assistance to help

address the issue of latent fishing

capacity in the New England groundfish

fishery. A report from the Scallop

Committee will follow. The Scallop

Committee will review proposals for

inclusion in a public hearing document

for Amendment 7 to the Atlantic Sea

Scallop Fishery Management Plan

(FMP). The proposals address the

transfer of days-at-sea (DAS) and the

disposition of vessels after DAS are

sold. The Herring Committee will

review the discussions of its joint

meeting with the ASMFC Herring Board

on annual herring specifications for

domestic fishing, joint ventures, and

internal waters processing. The Large

Pelagics Committee will discuss its draft

comments on Amendment 1 to the

Atlantic Swordfish FMP and on

Amendment 1 to the Atlantic Shark

FMP.

April 17, 1997

The April 17 session will begin with

a report from the Mid-Atlantic Plans

Committee. Several provisions of

Amendment 10 to the Summer

Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass

FMP will be discussed. The Monkfish

Committee will summarize the

comments received at the recent public

hearings on Amendment 9 to the

Northeast Multispecies FMP. The

Responsible Fishing Committee will

update the Council on its efforts to

develop comments on the NMFS draft

Implementation Plan for the Code of

Conduct for Responsible Fisheries.

There will be an update on Essential

Fish Habitat requirements for FMPs.

The Groundfish Committee intends to

propose initial action on a framework

adjustment to the Multispecies FMP

under the framework for abbreviated

rulemaking procedure contained in 50

CFR 648.82. This action would allow

fishing in the North Atlantic Fisheries

Organization regulated area without

using multispecies DAS allocations. The

Council meeting will conclude with a

report from the Interspecies Committee

on eliminating inconsistencies in the

vessel permit, upgrading, and

replacement provisions in various

FMPs, and the development of overall

fisheries management policies and

objectives.
