This is a withdrawal notice. NMFS is withdrawing its September 9, 2022 Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS on Phase 2 Modifications to the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan, which had aimed to reduce mortality and serious injury of right, humpback, and fin whales from commercial trap/pot and gillnet fisheries along the U.S. East Coast. The withdrawal is driven by a conflict between the 2-year EIS timeline under the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, which deemed the existing 2021 rule sufficient through December 31, 2028. No impact analysis or alternatives were developed under this NOI.12
