ADDRESSES: The new location of the 

meeting will be at the Peabody Institute

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Atlantic shark fisheries are managed 

under the authority of the Magnuson– 

Stevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (Magnuson–Stevens 

Act). The 2006 Consolidated Highly 

Migratory Species Fishery Management 

Plan (HMS FMP) is implemented by 

regulations at 50 CFR part 635. 

On May 7, 2008 (73 FR 25665), NMFS 

published a Notice of Intent (NOI) that 

summarized the 2007 SCS stock 

assessment conducted for Atlantic 

sharpnose, blacknose, bonnethead, and 

finetooth sharks. The NOI also 

described NMFS’ determination as to 

the status of these stocks based on the 

results of the 2007 stock assessment, 

including the determination that 

blacknose sharks are overfished with 

overfishing occurring. As a result of this 

determination, NMFS is taking steps to 

amend current shark management 

measures via a third FMP amendment to 

the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP. 

NMFS anticipates completing this 

amendment and any related documents 

by January 1, 2010. The comment period 

for the NOI has been extended (73 FR 

37932, July 2, 2008) and now ends at 5 

p.m. on October 31, 2008. On July 2, 

2008, NMFS also announced the 

availability of an issues and options 

presentation describing potential 

measures for inclusion in Amendment 3 

to the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP. 

Request for Comments 

Four scoping meetings have been 

scheduled to provide the opportunity 

for public comment on potential SCS 

shark management measures. NMFS has 

changed the time and location of the 

scoping meeting that was scheduled to 

be held in Gloucester, MA, on October 

9, 2008. This meeting will now be held 

from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the 

Peabody Institute Library, 82 Main 

Street, Peabody, MA, 01960. The 

schedule for the other scoping meetings 

remains unchanged. 

In addition to the scheduled scoping 

meetings, NMFS will also present the 

issues and options presentation to the 

five Atlantic Regional Fishery 

Management Councils and the Atlantic 

and Gulf States Marine Fisheries 

Commissions during the public 

comment period. Please see the 

Councils’ and Commissions’ summer 

and fall meeting notices for dates, times, 

and locations. Finally, NMFS also 

expects to present the issues and 

options presentation at the fall 2008 

HMS Advisory Panel (AP) meeting. The 

date and location of the AP meeting will 

be announced in a future Federal 

Register notice. 

Comments received on this action 

will assist NMFS in determining the 

options for rulemaking to conserve and 

manage shark resources and fisheries, 

consistent with the Magnuson–Stevens 

Act and the 2006 Consolidated HMS 

FMP. 

Scoping Meetings Code of Conduct 

The public is reminded that NMFS 

expects participants at the scoping 

meetings to conduct themselves 

appropriately. At the beginning of each 

meeting, a representative of NMFS will 

explain the ground rules (e.g., alcohol is 

prohibited from the meeting room; 

attendees will be called to give their 

comments in the order in which they 

registered to speak; each attendee will 

have an equal amount of time to speak; 

attendees may not interrupt one 

another, etc.). The NMFS representative 

will structure the meeting so that all 

attending members of the public will be 

able to comment, if they so choose. 

Attendees are expected to respect the 

ground rules, and those that do not will 

be asked to leave the meeting. 

Special Accommodations 

The meetings are physically 

accessible to people with disabilities. 

Requests for sign language 

interpretation or other auxiliary aids 

should be directed to Jess Beck (see FOR
