The intent is to have a group that, as 

a whole, reflects an appropriate and 

equitable balance and mix of interests 

given the responsibilities of the HMS 

AP. 

Five additional members on the HMS 

AP include one member representing 

each of the following Councils: New 

England Fishery Management Council, 

the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management 

Council, the South Atlantic Fishery 

Management Council, the Gulf of 

Mexico Fishery Management Council, 

and the Caribbean Fishery Management 

Council. The HMS AP also includes 22 

ex-officio participants: 20 

representatives of the coastal states and 

two representatives of the interstate 

commissions (the Atlantic States Marine 

Fisheries Commission and the Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commission). 

NMFS will provide the necessary 

administrative support, including 

technical assistance, for the HMS AP. 

However, NMFS will not compensate 

participants with monetary support of 

any kind. Depending on availability of 

funds, members may be reimbursed for 

travel costs related to the HMS AP 

meetings. 

C. Meeting Schedule 

Meetings of the HMS AP will be held 

as frequently as necessary but are 

routinely held twice each year—once in 

the spring, and once in the fall. The 

meetings may be held in conjunction 

with public hearings.

Docket No. AFD 1743 

The University of North Carolina at

regulations. A competing application for 

a patent license agreement, completed 

in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and
