continues to believe that public

participation is critical to the success of

this process. This negotiation session

will also be open to the public, in

accordance with the Federal Advisory

Committe Act (Pub. L. 92–463).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Magnuson Fishery Conservation

and Management Act (Magnuson Act)

requires that each Regional Fishery

Management Council submit any fishery

management plan or plan amendment it

prepares to NMFS for review and

approval, disapproval, or partial

disapproval. The Magnuson Act also

requires that NMFS, after reviewing the

plan or plan amendment, immediately

publish a notice in the Federal Register

that the plan or plan amendment is

available for public review and

comment. NMFS will consider the

public comments received during the

comment period in determining

whether to approve these revised FMP

amendments.

The three revised FMP amendments

would establish a 3-year moratorium on

the entry of new vessels into the

groundfish fisheries of the GOA and the

BSAI and the king and Tanner crab

fisheries of the BSAI. The purpose of the

moratorium is to curtail increases in

harvesting capacity and provide

industry stability while the Council

assesses long-term management

alternatives for the affected fisheries.

The vessel moratorium would be

implemented through the issuance of a

Federal moratorium permit to a vessel

that meets specific length restrictions

and on which a legal landing of any

moratorium species was made during

the qualification period. A moratorium

permit will not be valid unless the

permit has at least one endorsement for

the use of authorized fishing gear.

Specific eligibility requirements for the

moratorium permit and the fishing gear

endorsements are contained in the

Federal regulations proposed by the

Council to implement Revised FMP

Amendments 23, 28, and 4. The

proposed regulations are scheduled to

be published within 15 days of this

document.

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

Dated: May 2, 1995.

Richard W. Surdi,

Acting Director, Office of Fisheries

Conservation and Management, National

Marine Fisheries Service.
