Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Northeast Multispecies Fishery; Framework Adjustment 17

摘要

NMFS proposes regulations to implement Framework Adjustment 17 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP). This framework would implement a measure to restore unused days-at-sea (DAS) to vessels recorded under the DAS effort-control program as having fished less than one-sixth of their Amendment 7 allocation during the months of May and June 1996. The intended effect of this rule is to provide vessels with their full Amendment 7 allocation of DAS.
