Directed Economic Assistance Program; Establishment

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001 makes $3,000,000 available to the Secretary of Commerce to provide economic assistance to fishermen and fishing communities affected by Federal closures and fishing restrictions in the Hawaii long line fishery. In furtherance of this directive, NOAA, NMFS, is establishing a direct economic assistance program (DEAP) to provide financial assistance to vessel owners that fished under a Hawaii longline limited access permit and harvested pelagic species in the Hawaii-based longline fishery between January 1, 1999, and November 29, 1999. This document announces the availability of assistance under the DEAP and the eligibility requirements.
