Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Receipt of Petition for Rulemaking; Correction

摘要

NMFS corrects the notice of receipt of petition for rulemaking on issues relating to Atlantic highly migratory species published on December 22, 1993 (58 FR 67761). The National Fishing Association (NFA) petitioned NMFS to restrict commercial net fishing in certain months in five special management zones defined in the petition for the offshore waters of the northwest Atlantic Ocean. The petition also requests mandatory logbooks for recreational vessels fishing for certain highly migratory species and a revised definition of a commercial fishing vessel. This document corrects the longitude and latitude coordinates of the restrictive fishing zones.
