Fisheries Off West Coast States; 

Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; 

Application for an Exempted Fishing 

Permit 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; receipt of EFP 

applications; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the receipt 

of exempted fishing permit (EFP) 

applications, and is considering 

issuance of EFPs for vessels 

participating in the EFP fisheries. The 

EFPs are necessary to allow activities 

that are otherwise prohibited by Federal 

regulations. The EFPs will be effective 

no earlier than April 1, 2015, and will 

be for a minimum duration of two years 

unless there is a need to extend the EFP 

to collect more information or the need 

for the EFP no longer exists because 

appropriate regulations have been 

implemented. These EFPs can be 

terminated earlier under terms and 

conditions of the EFPs and other 

applicable laws. 

DATES: Comments must be received no 

later than 5 p.m., local time on January 

17, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by 0648–XD625, by any one 

of the following methods: 

• Email: GroundfishEMEFP@

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

view copies of the Electronic 

Monitoring EFP applications, visit the 

Pacific Council Web site at 

www.pcouncil.org and browse the ‘‘June 

2014 Briefing Book’’ and the ‘‘Trawl 

Catch Share Program Electronic 

Monitoring’’; or contact Steve Freese 

(West Coast Region, NMFS), phone 206–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

action is authorized by the Pacific Coast 

Groundfish Fishery Management Plan 

(FMP) and the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act provisions at 50 CFR 600.745, 

which states that EFPs may be used to 

authorize fishing activities that would 

otherwise be prohibited. At the June 

2014 Pacific Fishery Management 

Council (Council) meeting in Garden 

Grove, California, the Council 

considered applications for four revised 

EFPs from: (1) The California Risk Pool; 

(2) Michele Longo Eder; (3) Peter 

Leipzig; and (4) Heather Mann and 

Brent Paine. An opportunity for public 

testimony was provided during the June 

2014 Council meeting. For more details 

on these EFP applications and to view 

copies of the applications, see the 

Pacific Council’s Web site at 

www.pcouncil.org and browse the ‘‘June 

2014 Briefing Book’’. The Council 

recommended that NMFS consider 

issuing the following EFPs, and that 

those EFPs be used to test EM in the 

fisheries in a limited capacity with some 

additional permit conditions for 

possible use in 2015 and beyond. 

California Risk Pool EFP 

The California Risk Pool (which 

includes the Fort Bragg Groundfish 

Association, the Half Moon Bay 

Groundfish Marketing Association, and 

the Central California Seafood 

Marketing Association) submitted an 

application for an EFP, along with their 

collaborators: The Environmental 

Defense Fund (EDF); and The Nature 

Conservancy. Seven vessels will 

participate in this EFP: Three from the 

fixed gear sector and four from the trawl 

sector. Sarah McTee of the 

Environmental Defense Fund and Lisa 

Damrosch of the Half Moon Bay 

Groundfish Marketing Association are 

the points of contact for this EFP. 

Fixed Gear EFP 

The applicants participating in this 

EFP are trawl-permitted, fixed gear 

fishermen (Bob Eder, John Corbin and 

Burton C. Parker, Sr.) using pots or 

longlines. The primary purpose of the 

EFP is to test monitoring catch and 

discard via an EM system without 100 

percent observers coverage as currently 

required by law. Michele Longo Eder is 

the point of contact for this EFP. 

Peter Leipzig EFP 

The fishermen that would participate 

in this EFP are bottom trawl fishermen.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 1 / Friday, January 2, 2015 / Notices 31 

The primary purpose of the EFP is to 

test the use of EM equipment in lieu of 

an observer and to evaluate components 

of an overall EM program before 

implementation of a comprehensive 

regulatory program. Peter Leipzig of the 

Fishermen’s Marketing Association is 

the point of contact for this EFP. 

Heather Mann and Brent Paine EFP 

The vessels participating in this EFP 

are mid-water trawls that fish in the 

shoreside and mothership whiting 

fishery. The primary purpose of the EFP 

is to determine whether utilizing 

cameras in lieu of human observers 

proves both cost effective and 

operationally effecting while still 

providing 100 percent monitoring of 

catch and discards. Heather Mann of the 

Midwater Trawlers Cooperative and 

Brent Paine of the United Catcher Boats 

are the points of contact for this EFP.

Burden Hours: 149,267. 

Cost Burden: $103,000,869.42. 

Needs and Uses: The United States 

Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) 

administers the Trademark Act, 15 

U.S.C. 1051 et seq., which provides for 

the Federal registration of trademarks, 

service marks, collective trademarks and 

service marks, collective membership 

marks, and certification marks. 

Individuals and businesses who use 

their marks, or intend to use their 

marks, in commerce regulable by 

Congress, may file an application with 

the USPTO to register their marks. 

Registered marks remain on the register 

indefinitely, so long as the owner of the 

registration files the necessary 

maintenance documents. The rules 

implementing the Trademark Act are set 

forth in 37 CFR part 2. 

The Act and rules mandate that each 

certificate of registration include the 

mark, the particular goods and/or 

services for which the mark is 

registered, the owner’s name, dates of 

use of the mark in commerce, and 

certain other information. The USPTO 

also provides similar information to the 

public concerning pending applications. 

Individuals or businesses may 

determine the availability of a mark by 

accessing the register through the 

USPTO’s Web site. Accessing and 

reviewing the USPTO’s publicly 

available information may reduce the 

possibility of initiating use of a mark 

previously registered or adopted by 

another. Thus, the Federal trademark 

registration process reduces 

unnecessary litigation and its associated 

costs and burdens. The information in 

this collection is available to the public. 

Trademarks can be registered on 

either the Principal or Supplemental 

Register. Registrations on the Principal 

Register confer all of the benefits of 

registration provided under the 

Trademark Act. Certain marks that are 

not eligible for registration on the 

Principal Register, but are capable of
