  This report reviews the comments received during the scoping period regarding proposed changes to the northern fur seal Harvest Regulations for St. George Island by the St. George Traditional Council (Traditional Council). The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) received a petition from the Traditional Council in September 2006, proposing changes in harvest regulations to better provide for cultural and traditional practices.

NMFS is currently proceeding with preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA), and sought public comments to help identify issues to be analyzed.
