The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) published a proposed rule on March 14, 2011, to modify Atlantic bluefin tuna quotas and implement management measures to conserve the species, as recommended by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and required by the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). The rule also includes changes to possession and landing regulations, and public hearings were rescheduled to allow for public comment.
