  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS amends the regulations governing minimum performance 
standards of fishing gear proposed for use in both the NE multispecies 
Regular B DAS Program and the Eastern U.S./Canada Haddock SAP. The New 
England Fishery Management Council (Council) may request the 
Administrator, Northeast Region, NMFS (Regional Administrator) approve 
additional gear types for use in these programs if they meet the 
standard. The purpose of this rule is to provide greater flexibility to 
fishermen participating in these programs.

  <description><![CDATA[  NMFS, in consultation with the North Pacific Fishery 
Management Council (Council), announces its intent to prepare a 
Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) on revisions to 
Steller sea lion protection measures, in accordance with the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). The proposed action is to 
revise the Steller sea lion protection measures for the Bering Sea and 
Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) groundfish 
fisheries. The scope of the SEIS will be to determine the impacts to 
the human environment resulting from modifications to the existing 
protection measures. NMFS will accept written comments from the public 
to determine the issues of concern and the appropriate range of 
management alternatives to be addressed in the SEIS.

  <description><![CDATA[ NMFS, in consultation with the North Pacific Fishery 
Management Council, announces its intent to prepare an Environmental 
Impact Statement (EIS) on salmon bycatch reduction measures in the 
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI), in accordance 
with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The proposed action 
would replace the current Chinook and Chum Salmon Savings Areas in the 
BSAI with new regulatory closures, salmon bycatch limits, or a 
combination of both. These management measures could incorporate 
current or new bycatch reduction methods. The scope of the EIS will be 
to determine the impacts to the human environment resulting from these 
salmon bycatch reduction measures. NMFS will accept written comments  from the public to determine the issues of concern and the<br/> [[Page 72995]]<br/>
appropriate range of management alternatives for analysis in the EIS.
