Abstract:
This collection describes the steps involved and the procedure for evaluating scales prior to National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) approval for use, inspecting and testing approved scales onboard vessels, recordkeeping and audit trails, coordinating with onboard and onshore observers, and providing NMFS with a catch monitoring plan for crab, offshore groundfish, and inshore groundfish. This change request is to reinstate regulations that were inadvertently removed in a previous final rule about locations where the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will conduct scale inspections (associated with a proposed rule, RIN 0648-AX97). There are no changes to forms or to burden or cost.
