December 10, 2003, Control Date Established for the Commercial Penaeid Shrimp Fishery of the South Atlantic Region
The
South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) is
considering whether there is a need to impose additional
management measures limiting entry into the commercial
penaeid shrimp fishery in the South Atlantic exclusive
economic zone (EEZ). In anticipation of such an action,
the Council previously established a control date of
September 8, 2000. This document is to inform the public
that the Council is establishing a revised control date
of December 10, 2003. If the Council and NMFS determine
that there is a need to impose additional management
measures to control participation in the fishery, a rulemaking
to do so may be initiated. Should the Council base such
rulemaking on this control date, anyone entering the
fishery after the control date would not be assured of
future access in the fishery.
DATES:
Comments must be submitted by April 5, 2004.
ADDRESSES: Comments
should be directed to the South Atlantic Fishery Management
Council, One Southpark Circle, Suite 306, Charleston, South
Carolina 29407-4699; telephone: 843-571-4366; fax: 843-769-4520;

Bycatch Reduction Devices (BRDs) Required in the Shrimp Fishery of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico Small Entity Compliance Guide
NMFS
issues proposed regulations to implement Amendment 21
to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Reef Fish
Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (Amendment 21) prepared
by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council).
These proposed regulations would modify the fishing restrictions
that apply within the Madison and Swanson sites and Steamboat
Lumps marine reserves in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and
would extend the period of effectiveness of those restrictions
through June 16, 2010. The intended effect of these proposed
regulations is to protect the spawning aggregations of
species within these areas, prevent overfishing, and
aid in the evaluation of the effectiveness of marine
reserves as a management tool.
DATES:
Written comments on this proposed rule must be received
no later than 5 p.m., eastern time, on February 19, 2004.
ADDRESSES:
Written comments on the proposed rule should be sent toPhil
Steele, Southeast Regional Office, NMFS, 9721 Executive
Center Drive N., St. Petersburg, FL 33702. Comments also
may be sent via fax to (727) 570-5583. Comments will not
be accepted if submitted via e-mail or Internet.
