Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

Provisions; Fisheries of the 

Northeastern United States; 

Standardized Bycatch Reporting 

Methodology Omnibus Amendment 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS proposes regulations to 

implement the Standardized Bycatch 

Reporting Methodology Omnibus 

Amendment developed by the MidAtlantic and New England Fishery 

Management Councils. This amendment 

was developed, in part, to respond to a 

remand by the U.S. District of Columbia 

Court of Appeals decision in Oceana v. 

Locke. The amendment also adds 

various measures to improve and 

expand on the Standardized Bycatch 

Reporting Methodology previously in 

place. The proposed measures include: 

A new prioritization process for 

allocation of observers if agency funding 

is insufficient; bycatch reporting and 

monitoring mechanisms; analytical 

techniques and allocation of at-sea 

fisheries observers; a performance 

standard; a review and reporting 

process; framework adjustment and 

annual specifications provisions; and 

provisions for industry-funded 

observers and observer set-aside 

programs. In addition to responding to 

the DC Court of Appeals remand, this 

action is necessary to re-establish and 

improve the Standardized Bycatch 

Reporting Methodology for all 13 

Greater Atlantic Region Fishery 

Management Plans, as required under 

the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, 

after the previous methodology was 

vacated by the 2011 Court order. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before February 20, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
