Extension of Emergency Fishery Closure Due to Toxin that Causes Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) in Northeastern U.S. Waters

Summary

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act Provisions require a temporary closure of Federal waters in the Northeastern United States due to the presence of the toxin that causes Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has extended the closure, which was first published in 2005, to ensure accurate regulations reflect the modified codified text.
