Federal Consistency under the Coastal Zone Management Act

[44 Pa.B. 3635]
[Saturday, June 14, 2014]

 This notice is published under section 306(d)(14) of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C.A. § 1455(d)(14)), regarding public participation during consistency determinations. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Coastal Resources Management Program has received notice that the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is proposing a Framework Adjustment 3 to the Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plan. The proposed adjustment will establish a process for setting river herring (alewife and blueback) and shad (American and Hickory) catch caps for the herring fishery. Framework 3 also establishes catch caps for the 2014 and 2015 fishing years at:

 • Mid-water trawl cap for the Gulf of Maine (86 mt)

 • Mid-water trawl cap for Cape Cod (13 mt)

 • Mid-water trawl cap for Southern New England (124 mt)

 • A bottom water trawl cap for Southern New England (89 mt)

 This project is subject to Department review for Federal consistency because it is a Federal agency activity and will have reasonably foreseeable effects on this Commonwealth's coastal resources or uses.

 In accordance with 15 CFR Part 930, Subpart C (relating to consistency for Federal agency activities), NMFS has determined that the proposed activity will be conducted in a manner consistent with the applicable enforceable policies of the Commonwealth's approved Coastal Resources Management Program. Interested parties may request a copy of the Federal Consistency Determination from the Department contact listed as follows.

 The Department will consider all comments received by June 30, 2014, before issuing a final Federal consistency concurrence or objection. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. Comments, including comments submitted by e-mail, must include the originator's name and address. Written comments should be submitted to Matt Walderon, Federal Consistency Coordinator, Interstate Waters Office, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8465, Rachel Carson State Office Building, Harrisburg, PA 17101-8465, (717) 772-2196, RA-Fed_Consistency@pa.gov.
