Fisheries of the Northeastern United 

States; Northeast Multispecies 

Fishery; Approved Monitoring Service 

Providers 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notification of approved 

monitoring service providers. 

SUMMARY: NMFS has approved an 

additional company to provide 

Northeast multispecies sector electronic 

monitoring services in fishing years 

2021 and 2022. Regulations 

implementing the Northeast 

Multispecies Fishery Management Plan 

require at-sea and electronic monitoring 

companies to apply to, and be approved 

by, NMFS in order to be eligible to 

provide monitoring services to sectors. 

This action will allow sectors to 

contract for at-sea and electronic 

monitoring services with any of the 

approved service providers for fishing 

years 2021 and 2022. 

ADDRESSES: The list of NMFS-approved 

sector monitoring service providers is 

available at: https://www.fisheries.

Analyst, (978) 281–9255, email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Northeast Multispecies Fishery 

Management Plan includes a 

requirement for industry-funded 

monitoring of catch by sector vessels. 

Sectors must contract with independent 

third-party service providers to provide 

at-sea and/or electronic monitoring 

services to their vessels. In order to 

provide at-sea or electronic monitoring 

services to sectors, monitoring 

companies must apply to, and be 

approved by, NMFS. The regulations at 

50 CFR 648.87(b)(4) describe the criteria 

for approval of at-sea and electronic 

monitoring service providers. We 

approve service providers based on: (1) 

Completeness and sufficiency of 

applications; and (2) determination of 

the applicant’s ability to meet the 

performance requirements of a sector 

monitoring service provider. Once 

approved, service providers must meet 

52638 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Notices 

specified performance requirements 

outlined in § 648.87(b)(4), including 

required coverage levels, in order to 

maintain eligibility. We must notify 

service providers, in writing, if NMFS 

withdraws approval for any reason. 

Approved Monitoring Service Providers 

On February 4, 2021, NMFS approved 

6 companies to provide monitoring 

services to the Northeast multispecies 

sectors in fishing years 2021 and 2022. 

Four of the six companies are approved 

to provide both at-sea and electronic 

monitoring services: A.I.S., Inc.; East 

West Technical Services, LLC; Fathom 

Research, LLC; and Saltwater, Inc. 

NMFS approved the other two 

companies to provide electronic 

monitoring services: Flywire Cameras 

and Teem Fish. 

Two additional companies also 

applied to provide electronic 

monitoring services, but we required 

additional information to complete their 

applications prior to making a 

determination. One company, New 

England Marine Monitoring, has since 

submitted a revised and complete 

application for our consideration. We 

approved New England Marine 

Monitoring to provide electronic 

monitoring services in fishing years 

2021 and 2022 because the applicant 

has met the application requirements 

and documented its ability to comply 

with service provider standards. The 

revised list of approved monitoring 

providers for fishing years 2021 and 

2022 is provided in Table 1. 

There will be an opportunity in the 

fall of 2021 for additional monitoring 

companies to apply for approval to 

provide at-sea and electronic monitoring 

services in fishing year 2022. We will 

closely monitor the performance of 

approved providers, and we will 

withdraw approval during the current 

approval term, or disapprove a provider 

in future fishing years, if we determine 

performance standards are not being 

met.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the 

MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct 

the Secretary of Commerce to allow, 

upon request, the incidental, but not 

intentional, taking of small numbers of 

marine mammals by U.S. citizens who 

engage in a specified activity (other than 

commercial fishing) within a specified 

geographical region if certain findings 

are made and either regulations are 

issued or, if the taking is limited to 

harassment, a notice of a proposed 

authorization is provided to the public 

for review. 

An authorization for incidental 

takings shall be granted if NMFS finds 

that the taking will have a negligible 

impact on the species or stock(s), will 

not have an unmitigable adverse impact 

on the availability of the species or 

stock(s) for subsistence uses (where 

relevant), and if the permissible 

methods of taking and requirements 

pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring 

and reporting of such takings are set 

forth. NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible
