Spiny Lobster Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic

요약

NMFS publishes this final rule to amend the regulations implementing the Fishery Management Plan for the Spiny Lobster Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic (FMP) to remove the requirement for Federal vessel permits in the commercial spiny lobster fishery in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off Florida, make technical corrections and revisions, and add a prohibition against making false statements to authorized officers. The intended effect of this final rule is to relieve a restriction in the fishery and to facilitate enforcement.
