2015-02-09; vol. 80 # 26 - Monday, February 9, 2015 80 FR 6925 - Taking of Marine Mammals Incidental to Commercial Fishing Operations; Bottlenose Dolphin Take Reduction Plan; Sea Turtle Conservation; Modification to Fishing Activities
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Final rule. This final rule is effective March 11, 2015. 50 CFR Parts 222, 223, and 229 Summary The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) issues this final rule amending the Bottlenose Dolphin Take Reduction Plan (BDTRP) and its implementing regulations under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). The rule requires the year-round use of modified pound net leaders for offshore Virginia pound nets in specified waters of the lower mainstem Chesapeake Bay and coastal state waters. Virginia pound net-related definitions, gear prohibitions, and non-regulatory measures are also finalized. This final rule is based on consensus recommendations of the Bottlenose Dolphin Take Reduction Team (BDTRT). For consistency, NMFS also amends current regulations and definitions for Virginia pound nets under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for sea turtle conservation.
2014-12-29; vol. 79 # 248 - Monday, December 29, 2014 79 FR 77919 - List of Fisheries for 2015
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Final rule. The effective date of this final rule is January 28, 2015. 50 CFR Part 229 Summary The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) publishes its final List of Fisheries (LOF) for 2015, as required by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). The final LOF for 2015 reflects new information on interactions between commercial fisheries and marine mammals. NMFS must classify each commercial fishery on the LOF into one of three categories under the MMPA based upon the level of mortality and serious injury of marine mammals that occurs incidental to each fishery. The classification of a fishery on the LOF determines whether participants in that fishery are subject to certain provisions of the MMPA, such as registration, observer coverage, and take reduction plan (TRP) requirements.
2014-12-12; vol. 79 # 239 - Friday, December 12, 2014 79 FR 73848 - Taking of Marine Mammals Incidental to Commercial Fishing Operations and Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act Provisions; American Lobster Fishery
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Final rule. Effective December 12, 2014. 50 CFR Parts 229 and 697 Summary NMFS issues this final rule to amend the regulations implementing the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan to modify the start date of the Massachusetts Restricted Area to begin on February 1, 2015, and to expand the Massachusetts Restricted Area by 912 square miles. In addition, this rule will revise the Federal lobster regulations to be consistent with the revised start date of the Massachusetts Restricted Area. Recent Federal lobster regulations closed the Outer Cape Lobster Management Area to lobster trap fishing from January 15 through March 15, which is consistent with the lobster trap haul-out period in the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's Interstate Fishery Management Plan for American Lobster. This rule would adjust the Outer Cape Lobster Management Area closure dates to February 1 through March 31.
