Abstract:
For several years, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has been issuing an annual permit for Canadian vessels that participate in the Atlantic herring fishery of the Northeast Region, under section 204(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) and section 105(e) of Public Law 104-297. A new requirement for VMS will be added to the permit based on input from the U.S. Coast Guard. Section 204(d) states that applicants must comply with requirements described in section 201(c)(2) for the permit to be approved. Section 201(c)(2) includes a provision that the owner or operator of any foreign fishing vessel install and maintain in working order transponders, or such other appropriate position-fixing and identification equipment as the U.S. Coast Guard is operating determines to be appropriate. Up to 10 Canadian vessels will be affected.
