SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Advisory Panel will review Framework 

26 analyses and make final 

recommendations for preferred 

alternatives. Framework 26 includes 

fishery specifications for FY2015 and 

FY2016 (default), which includes daysat-sea allocations, access area 

allocations, individual fishing quota 

(IFQ) allocations for the general category 

fishery, a hard total allowable catch 

(TAC) for the Northern Gulf of Maine 

(NGOM) area and target TAC for vessels 

with a general category incidental catch 

permit. The Advisory Panel will also 

make final recommendations on other 

measures being considered: (1) 

Measures to allow fishing in state waters 

after federal NGOM TAC is reached; (2) 

measures to make turtle regulations 

consistent in the scallop fishery and 

slight modification to regulations 

related to the flaring bar of the turtle 

deflector dredge; (3) measures to modify 

the existing area closure accountability 

measures in place for Georges Bank and 

Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic 

yellowtail flounder, and develop new 

accountability measures for northern 

windowpane flounder; and (4) consider 

measures to allow limited access scallop 

vessels to declare out of the fishery 

when steaming back to port. Other 

issues may be discussed. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in this agenda may come 

before this group for discussion, in 

accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), those 

issues may not be the subject of formal 

action during this meeting. Actions will 

be restricted to those issues specifically 

identified in this notice and any issues 

arising after publication of this notice 

that require emergency action under 

Section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Act, provided the public has been 

notified of the Council’s intent to take 

final action to address the emergency.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amy Sloan or Jennifer Skidmore, (301) 

427–8401. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended 

(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216). 

The applicant proposes to receive cell 

lines from up to two Atlantic spotted 

dolphins (Stenella frontalis), three 

Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops 

truncatus), and three common dolphins 

(Delphinus delphis) to study 

mechanisms whereby respiratory 

pathogens alter dolphin anti-viral or 

cytokine/chemokine responses using a 

parainfluenza virus isolated from a 

bottlenose dolphin. The objective is to 

provide information on how influenza 

viruses affect dolphins and potentially 

induce disease. Cell lines would be 

obtained from the American Type 

Culture Collection or other permitted 

researchers authorized to maintain cell 

lines, and would be analyzed at the 

National Animal Disease Center in 

Ames, IA. The applicant has requested 

the permit be valid for 5 years. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial 

determination has been made that the 

activity proposed is categorically 

excluded from the requirement to 

prepare an environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement. 

Concurrent with the publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register, 

NMFS is forwarding copies of the 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.
