economic zone, under provisions of the

Magnuson Fishery Conservation and

Management Act (Magnuson Act, 16

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). This notice

concerns the receipt of an application

from the Government of Poland

requesting authorization to conduct a

joint venture (JV) in the Northwest

Atlantic Ocean. The application

requests 10,000 metric tons (mt) of

Atlantic sea herring and 5,000 mt of

Atlantic mackerel be made available for

the JV. The freezer trawler MANTA is

identified as the vessel that will receive

sea herring and mackerel from U.S.

vessels. Based on receipt of a foreign JV

application for Atlantic sea herring, and

in accordance with section 201(h) of the

Magnuson Act, necessary regulatory

actions are being effected and a

Preliminary Fishery Management Plan

(PMP) for Atlantic sea herring is being

developed. Specifications for the

Atlantic Mackerel, Squid and Butterfish

Fishery Management Plan presently

include 35,000 mt of Atlantic mackerel

as available for JV processing.

Approvability of the JV’s, as proposed in

the Polish application, will be

contingent on development of a PMP for

sea herring with specifications that

include an amount of U.S.-harvested

herring for such operations, and on

other issues that bear on the approval of

foreign fishing permits. Send comments
