Description:

In 1994, Congress amended the MMPA to address the incidental mortality and serious injury (bycatch) of marine mammals in U.S. commercial fisheries. MMPA section 118 established a system for classifying commercial fisheries according to their levels of marine mammal bycatch and created the take reduction plan (TRP) process to reduce that bycatch. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is required to reexamine this classification of commercial fisheries, known as the List of Fisheries (LOF), at least annually and publish any changes in the Federal Register. This environmental assessment analyzes the process by which NMFS currently classifies U.S. commerical fisheries on the LOF. The preferred alternative, also the no action alternative, proposes to continue the current classification scheme. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed action.
