The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) intends to begin a rulemaking process to amend the Plan to further reduce the risk of mortalities and serious injuries of North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) and other large whales caused by incidental entanglement in commercial trap/pot and gillnet fisheries along the U.S. East Coast. This notice is necessary to inform the public of NMFS's intent to prepare this EIS and to provide the public with an opportunity to provide input for NMFS's consideration.","action":"Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement, request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","id":361,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/361","parent_id":54,"slug":"national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2022/09/09/2022-19335.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"87 FR 55405","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2022-10-11","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be received by October 11, 2022.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2022-19335","effective_on":null,"end_page":55409,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2022/09/09/2022-19335.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/09/09/2022-19335/notice-of-intent-to-prepare-an-environmental-impact-statement-on-modifications-to-the-atlantic-large","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2022-19335?publication_date=2022-09-09","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2022-09-09/2022-19335/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":5,"page_views":{"count":1716,"last_updated":"2026-07-28 08:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2022-09-09/pdf/2022-19335.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2022-19335.pdf?1662641116","publication_date":"2022-09-09","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2022/09/09/2022-19335.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-02-28T02:21:42Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":55405,"subtype":null,"title":"Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement on Modifications to the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan To Reduce Mortality and Serious Injury of Large Whales in Commercial Trap/Pot and Gillnet Fisheries Along the U.S. East Coast","toc_doc":"Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan to Reduce Mortality and Serious Injury of Large Whales in Commercial Trap/Pot and Gillnet Fisheries along the U.S. East Coast","toc_subject":"Environmental Impact Statements; Availability, etc.:\n","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":87}
