fisheries in the exclusive economic zone 

(EEZ).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Tuesday, September 28, 2010 

Following introductions and any 

announcements, reappointed members 

will be sworn in for their three-year 

terms and the Council will hold 

elections for 2010–11 officers. These 

events will be followed by a series of 

brief reports from the Council Chairman 

and Executive Director, the NOAA 

Fisheries Regional Administrator 

(Northeast Region), NOAA General 

Counsel, Northeast Fisheries Science 

Center and Mid-Atlantic Fishery 

Management Council liaisons, and 

representatives of the U.S. Coast Guard, 

the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries 

Commission and NOAA Enforcement. 

During the remainder of the morning 

session the schedule includes a review 

of any experimental fishery permit 

applications received since the last 

Council meeting and a brief open period 

for interested parties to comment on 

issues relevant to Council business but 

not listed on the meeting agenda. There 

also will be a presentation on the MidAtlantic Fishery Management Council’s 

(MAFMC) recent action on spiny 

dogfish. Specifically, this will include 

acceptable biological catch, annual 

catch limits and accountability 

measures. The New England Council 

may take similar action on these 

measures at this meeting. The remainder 

of the day will be focused on Atlantic 

herring. The Council’s Herring 

Committee will present management 

measures included in a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

Amendment 5 to the Herring Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP). Final action 

on the following is scheduled: (1) a 

catch monitoring program for the 

herring fishery (including but not 

limited to reporting requirements, 

observer coverage, portside sampling, 

measures to maximize sampling, 

measures to address net slippage, 

maximized retention, electronic 

monitoring); (2) measures to address 

river herring bycatch, interactions with 

the Atlantic mackerel fishery and to 

protect spawning fish; and (3) criteria 

for midwater trawl access to groundfish 

closed areas. 

Wednesday, September 29, 2010 

Northeast Fisheries Science Center 

staff will report on the June 2010 Stock 

Assessment Workshop/Stock 

Assessment Review Committee 

meetings which addressed the status of 

pollock, monkfish and sea scallops. This 

briefing will be followed by a report 

from the Council’s Scientific and 

Statistical Committee (SSC) Chairman. 

Issues to be reviewed include the 

committee’s recommendations for 

updated acceptable biological catches 

for monkfish, sea scallops and several 

groundfish stocks (pollock, Gulf of 

Maine winter flounder, northern and 

southern windowpane flounder, ocean 

pout and Georges Bank yellowtail 

flounder). The Council will then discuss 

the implication for management of the 

SSC report on monkfish reference points 

and acceptable biological catch 

recommendations, and possibly initiate 

a framework adjustment. Next, the 

Council will consider final measures to 

be included in Amendment 15 to the 

Atlantic Sea Scallop FMP. If approved 

these would: (1) include annual catch 

limits; (2) address excess capacity in the 

limited access scallop fishery through 

stacking of permits and/or leasing of 

scallop effort; and (3) implement several 

adjustments to make the overall FMP 

more effective including adjustments to 

the general category management 

program and the overfishing definition, 

modifications to the essential fish 

habitat (EFH) closed areas, 

modifications to the research set-aside 

program and change the start date of the 

fishing year to May 1. The meeting will 

close for the day with a report from the 

Joint Groundfish/Scallop Committee 

concerning a recommendation to 

forward advisory panel advice to this 

committee to individual committees and 

possibly suspend the joint committee 

until a future date. 

Thursday, September 30, 2010 

The last day of the Council meeting 

will begin with a briefing on 

Amendment 18 to the South Atlantic 

Council’s (SAFMC) Snapper Grouper 

FMP. 

The SAFMC is amending its FMP for 

snapper grouper complex species 

throughout their range to meet the new 

annual catch limit requirements of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act. Based on the 

landings of some of these species in the 

New England Council’s jurisdiction, the 

SAFMC is considering extending the 

management boundaries for all species 

in the snapper grouper complex 

northward to include the New England 

Council’s jurisdiction (except black sea 

bass, golden tilefish, and scup). 

Following a presentation on the 

proposed measures, there will be an 

opportunity for the Council and public 

to ask questions and/or offer comments. 

Following this discussion, the Council 

intends to review and approve final 

measures to be included in Amendment 

3 to Red Crab FMP. The action will 

implement annual catch limits, 

accountability measures, quota-based 

management and other FMP 

modifications to address MagnusonStevens Act requirements, as well as 

include fishery specifications for 2011– 

13. A report on the July 2010 

Transboundary Resources Assessment 

Committee (TRAC) meeting will follow 

and include a review of the status of the 

transboundary stocks managed through 

the U.S./Canada Resource Sharing 

Understanding. These are Eastern 

Georges Bank cod and haddock and 

Georges Bank yellowtail flounder. Using 

information based on the TRAC report, 

the Transboundary Management 

Guidance Committee will present its
