NMFS Issues Minor Amendments to Magnuson-Stevens Act Regulations

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has updated the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act regulations to align with the revised statutory text of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 (MSRA). These minor changes aim to revise language and insert new provisions, while additional rulemakings address the implementation of MSRA requirements.
