This notice announces an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act to analyze the impacts to the environment of alternatives to amend the Plan. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) intends to begin a rulemaking process to amend the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction 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.
