Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of 

Mexico, and South Atlantic; SnapperGrouper Fishery off the Southern 

Atlantic States and Coral and Coral 

Reefs Fishery in the South Atlantic; 

Exempted Fishing Permit 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of receipt of an 

application for an exempted fishing 

permit; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the receipt 

of an application for an exempted 

fishing permit (EFP) from Mr. M. Scott 

Baker, Jr., on behalf of North Carolina 

Sea Grant in Wilmington, North 

Carolina. If granted, the EFP would 

authorize Mr. Baker to collect, with 

certain conditions, seven species of reef 

fish in Federal waters, off the coast of 

North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, 

and Florida. The specimens will be used 

to evaluate electronic monitoring as a 

tool to characterize fishing activities of 

the commercial snapper-grouper vertical 

hook-and-line (bandit) fleet, and to help 

determine the age-size structure of 

discarded fish caught as bycatch in this 

fishery. 

DATES: Comments must be received no 

later than 5 p.m., Eastern standard time, 

on August 28, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the 

application may be sent via fax to 727– 

824–5308 or mailed to: Nikhil Mehta, 

Southeast Regional Office, NMFS, 263 

13th Avenue South, St. Petersburg, FL 

33701. Comments may also be 

submitted by e-mail. The mailbox 

address for providing e-mail comments 

is 0648–XP90@noaa.gov. Include in the 

subject line of the e-mail document the 

following text: Comment on M. Scott 

Baker, Jr. EFP Application. The 

application and related documents are 

available for review upon written 

request to the address above or the by 

request via the contact numbers listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Nikhil Mehta, 727–824–5305; fax 727– 

824–5308. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EFP is 

requested under the authority of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act (16 

U.S.C 1801 et seq.), and regulations at 

50 CFR 600.745(b) concerning exempted 

fishing. 

This action involves activities covered 

by regulations implementing the Fishery 

Management Plan for the SnapperGrouper Fishery of the South Atlantic 

Region. The applicant requires 

authorization to collect a maximum of 

300 sub-legal fish of each of the 

following species: red snapper, 

vermilion snapper, gag, red grouper, 

greater amberjack, black sea bass, and 

red porgy. 

Specimens would be collected in 

Federal waters off the coast of North 

Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and 

Florida. The project proposes to use 

vertical hook-and-line (bandit) gear to 

make the collections. Samples would be 

collected year-round for a period of 2 

years, commencing on the date of 

issuance of the EFP. 

The overall intent of the project is to 

work cooperatively with fishermen to 

evaluate electronic video monitoring as 

a tool to characterize fishing activities of 

the commercial snapper-grouper vertical 

hook-and-line (bandit) fleet. Biological 

data would also be collected from the 

samples to characterize the age-size 

structure of the frequently encountered 

species discarded in this fishery. 

NMFS finds this application warrants 

further consideration. Based on a 

preliminary review, NMFS intends to 

issue the requested EFP, pending receipt 

of public comments, as per 50 CFR 

600.745(b)(3)(i). Possible conditions the 

agency may impose on this permit, if it 

is indeed granted, include but are not 

limited to, a prohibition on conducting 

research within marine protected areas, 

marine sanctuaries, special management 

zones, or artificial reefs without 

additional authorization. Additionally, 

NMFS may prohibit the possession of 

Nassau or goliath grouper, and require 

any sea turtles taken incidentally during 

the course of fishing or scientific 

research activities to be handled with 

due care to prevent injury to live 

specimens, observed for activity, and 

returned to the water. Periodic updates 

on the project findings will be required 

every 6 months, to be submitted to 

NMFS and reviewed by the South 

Atlantic Fishery Management Council. 

A final decision on issuance of the EFP 

will depend on NMFS’s review of 

public comments received on the 

application, consultations with the 

affected states, the Mid- and South 

Atlantic Fishery Management Councils, 

and the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as a 

determination that it is consistent with 

all applicable laws.
