SUMMARY: Due to a request from the Gulf

proposal, NMFS is reopening the 

comment period on the proposed rule 

that would revise the list of allowable 

bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) 

certified for use in the shrimp fishery of 

the Gulf of Mexico. Reopening the 

comment period would allow interested

of BRDs. NMFS is reopening the 

comment period for the proposed rule 

on July 7, 2008 and it will remain open

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

fishery for shrimp in the exclusive 

economic zone of the Gulf is managed 

under the FMP prepared by the Gulf of 

Mexico Fishery Management Council. 

The FMP is implemented under the 

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens

Act by regulations at 50 CFR part 622. 

On June 3, 2008 (73 FR 31669), NMFS 

published a proposed rule to revise the 

list of allowable BRDs used in the Gulf 

of Mexico shrimp fishery and requested 

comment by July 3, 2008. The Gulf of 

Mexico and South Atlantic Fisheries 

Foundation, Inc. (Foundation) recently 

conducted analyses regarding the 

efficacy of these BRDs under a 

Cooperative Research Program grant 

funded by NMFS. The new information 

from these analyses is currently being 

reviewed by the shrimp industry. The 

shrimp industry has requested a 

reopning of the comment period to 

allow sufficient time to review this new 

information and to comment on the 

proposed rule. Due to this request, 

NMFS will reopen the public comment 

period on the proposed rule on July 7, 

2008 and it will remain open through
