Fishing Permits (EFPs)

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Applications for EFPs; deadline

for receipt of EFP applications; request

for comments.

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the receipt

of two applications for EFPs. If granted,

these EFPs would authorize, over a

period of 1 year, collections for public

display of a limited number of sharks

from the large coastal and prohibited

species groups from Federal waters in

the Atlantic Ocean. NMFS also

announces a new deadline for receipt of

exempted fishing permit applications

for the 1998 fishing year.

DATES: Written comments on the

applications must be received on or

before August 10, 1998. Applications for

EFPs must be received on or before

September 22, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Rebecca

Lent, Chief, Highly Migratory Species

Management Division (F/SF1), NMFS,

1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring,

MD 20910. The applications and related

documents and copies of the regulations

under which exempted fishing permits

are subject may also be requested from

this address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Margo Schulze, 301–713–2347; fax:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These

EFPs are requested under the authority

of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

Conservation and Management Act (16

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and regulations at

50 CFR 600.745 concerning scientific

research activity, exempted fishing, and

exempted educational activity. On

January 29, 1998 (63 FR 4431), NMFS

announced a 90-day deadline for receipt

of EFP applications, which expired

April 29, 1998. Because NMFS has been

informed by members of industry that

the announcement of this deadline was

not widely distributed and because

additional EFP applications have been

received since that deadline, NMFS is

announcing a second and final deadline

for the receipt of EFP applications.
