End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On October 5, 2009, the New England Fishery Management Council (Council) announced that it is in the process of preparing a programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Omnibus Amendment to the fishery management plans for Northeast multispecies, Atlantic sea scallop, monkfish, Atlantic herring, skates, Atlantic salmon, and Atlantic deep-sea red crab (74 FR 51126). This NOI proposed that the Council would prepare one final EIS that incorporates all topics considered in the development of the Omnibus Amendment, rather than preparing a final Phase 1 EIS prior to completing work on Phase 2 topics. During that scoping period, the Council sought comments on its intent to not complete a Phase 1 Final EIS, as well as comments on any new scientific information identified since the 2004 scoping period that is pertinent to the development of the Omnibus Amendment.
The comment period for that NOI closed on November 4, 2009. Since that time it has come to the Council's attention that comments submitted via e-mail may not have been delivered. This problem did not impact written comments submitted through the mail or by fax.
However, the Council has decided to reopen the comment period and encourages individuals that submitted information through e-mail to resubmit their comments. For additional information regarding this action, please consult the prior NOI cited above.
