6. the requirement for halibut to not 

be allowed on deck without an observer 

present at § 679.93(c)(5). 

The exemptions to § 679.7(a)(2) and 

(o)(4) would be needed only if the BUC 

were to reach the 2009 Amendment 80 

cooperative apportionment of halibut 

mortality (1,793 mt). In the event that 

BUC reaches this amount, the BUC’s 

directed fishery for groundfish would 

close. If the amount of halibut mortality 

savings estimated under this EFP shows 

less mortality than the amount 

estimated using standard 2009 halibut 

discard mortality rates established for 

the Bering Sea trawl fisheries (February 

17, 2009, 74 FR 7333), BUC may be 

allowed to continue fishing for 

groundfish species later in the year, 

with some limitations. The BUC would 

be required to submit a report to NMFS 

and the IPHC of the estimated halibut 

mortality saved during the Phase I 

agency review and determination of 

halibut savings. After review and 

approval by NMFS, the BUC may be 

allowed to do subsequent EFP fishing at 

the end of the year as Phase II fishing 

under the EFP. The BUC would be 

limited to no more than the BUC’s 

Amendment 80 groundfish allocation. 

The additional amount of halibut caught 

would not exceed the amount of the 

halibut mortality savings under the EFP, 

or BUC’s 2009 allocation of halibut PSC. 

This EFP would apply for the period 

of time required to complete the 

experiment in Phase I and potentially in 

subsequent fishing in Phase II, during 

2009, in areas of the BSAI open to 

directed fishing by the BUC. The EFP 

activities would be of limited scope and 

duration and would not be expected to 

change the nature or duration of the 

groundfish fishery, fishing practices or 

gear used, or the amount or species of 

fish caught by the BUC. 

The activities that would be 

conducted under this EFP are not 

expected to have a significant impact on 

the human environment as detailed in 

the categorical exclusion issued for this 

action (see ADDRESSES). 

In accordance with § 679.6, NMFS has 

determined that the proposal warrants 

further consideration and has forwarded 

the application to the Council to initiate 

consultation. The Council will consider 

the EFP application during its April 

2009 meeting, which will be held at the 

Hilton Hotel in Anchorage, Alaska. The 

applicant has been invited to appear in 

support of the application. 

Public Comments 

Interested persons may comment on 

the application at the April 2009 

Council meeting during public 

testimony. Information regarding the 

meeting is available at the Council’s 

website at http:// 

alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/npfmc/

and categorical exclusion are available 

for review from NMFS (see ADDRESSES).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 204(d) of the Magnuson– 

Stevens 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. In addition, 

Public Law 104–297, section 105(e) 

directs the Secretary to issue section 

204(d) permits for up to 14 Canadian 

transport vessels to receive Atlantic 

herring harvested by United States 

fishermen and to be used in sardine 

processing. Transshipment must occur 

from within the boundaries of the State 

of Maine or within the portion of the 

EEZ east of the line 69 degrees 30 

minutes west and within 12 nautical 

miles from the seaward boundary of that 

State. 

Section 204(d)(3)(D) of the 

Magnuson–Stevens Act provides that an 

application may not be approved until 

the Secretary determines that ‘‘no owner 

or operator of a vessel of the United 

States which has 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 is publishing this notice 

as part of its effort to make such a 

determination with respect to the 

application described below. 

Section 204(d)(3)(B) of the 

Magnuson–Stevens Act provides that an 

application may not be approved until 

the Secretary determines that ‘‘the 

applicant will comply with the 

requirements described in section 

201(c)(2) with respect to activities 

authorized by any permit issued 

pursuant to the application.’’ Section 

201(c)(2) identifies multiple 

requirements related to monitoring, 

compliance, and enforcement, such as 

allowing authorized officers to board 

and inspect vessels, installation and use 

of position–fixing and identification 

equipment, and stationing of observers. 

Summary of Application 

NMFS received an application 

requesting authorization for 10 

Canadian transport vessels to receive 

transfers of herring from United States 

purse seine vessels, stop seines, and 

weirs for the purpose of transporting the 

herring to Canada for processing. The 

transshipment operations will occur 

within the boundaries of the State of 

Maine or within the portion of the EEZ 

east of the line 69 degrees 30 minutes 

west and within 12 nautical miles from 

the seaward boundary of that State. 

Interested U.S. vessel owners and 

operators may obtain a copy of the 

complete application from NMFS (see 

ADDRESSES).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EA 

Regulations are issued by the United 

States Department of Commerce, Bureau 

of Industry & Security (BIS) under laws 

relating to the control of certain exports, 

re-exports, and related activities. The 

EA Regulations serve the national 

security, foreign policy, and 

nonproliferation interests of the United 

States. They assist the United States in 

carrying carry out certain international 

obligations. They restrict access to dual 

use items by countries or persons that 

might apply such items to uses inimical 

to U.S. interests. They protect the 

United States from the adverse impact 

of the unrestricted export of 

commodities in short supply. In 

addition, they contain provisions 

designed to ensure that United States 

persons are not improperly supporting 

an unsanctioned foreign boycott or 

restrictive trade practice. The EA 

Regulations offer authoritative guidance 

on all of these matters as well as 

assisting businesses in determining 

when an export license is necessary; 

explaining how to obtain one; clarifying 

the policies that are followed in 

considering license applications; and 

explaining how exporters can learn 

about the latest changes and 

requirements.
