  <title><![CDATA[  Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals  Incidental to Space Vehicle and Test Flight Activities]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2004-02-06-04-2414</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS, upon application from the U.S. Air Force (USAF), is 
issuing regulations to govern the unintentional takings of small 
numbers of marine mammals incidental to space vehicle and test flight 
activities from Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA (VAFB) over a 5year 
period. Issuance of regulations is required by the Marine Mammal 
Protection Act (MMPA) when the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), after 
notice and opportunity for comment, finds, as here, that such takes 
will have a negligible impact on the species or stocks of marine 
mammals and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on their 
availability for subsistence uses. These regulations prescribe methods 
of taking and other means of effecting the least practicable adverse 
impact on marine mammal species and their habitat, and on the 
availability of the species for subsistence uses.

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2004-02-06-04-2633</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS proposes to prohibit the use of all pound net leaders 
from May 6 to July 15 each year in the Virginia waters of the mainstem 
Chesapeake Bay, south of 37<deg<lsthneq> 19.0' N. lat. and west of  76<deg<lsthneq> 13.0' W. long., and all waters south of <br/>
37<deg<lsthneq> 13.0' N. lat. to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel at 
the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, and the James and York Rivers 
downstream of the first bridge in each tributary. Additionally, NMFS 
proposes to prohibit the use of all leaders with stretched mesh greater 
than or equal to 8 inches (20.3 cm) and leaders with stringers from May 
6 to July 15 each year in the Virginia waters of the Chesapeake Bay 
outside the aforementioned area, extending to the MarylandVirginia 
State line and the Rappahannock River downstream of the first bridge, 
and from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel to the COLREGS line at the 
mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. This action, taken under the Endangered 
Species Act of 1973 (ESA), is necessary to conserve sea turtles list<script type="text/javascript">

  <title><![CDATA[  Fisheries Off West Coast States and in the Western Pacific;  Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Application for an]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2004-02-06-04-2631</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS announces the receipt of an exempted fishing permit (EFP) 
application from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). If 
awarded, this EFP will allow qualifying vessels to harvest and retain 
federally managed groundfish in excess of cumulative trip limits. This 
is otherwise prohibited. Vessels fishing under this EFP will be 
required to carry a federal fisheries observer during all EFP fishing. 
This EFP proposal is intended to promote the objectives of the Pacific 
Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) by assessing the 
effectiveness of a new discard reduction strategy for the trawl 
fishery.
