Title: Revision to Allowable Bycatch Reduction Devices for the Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Fishery 
Abstract: In accordance with the framework procedures for adjusting management measures of the Fishery Management Plan for the Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP), the National Marine Fisheries Service proposes to decertify the expanded mesh bycatch reduction device (BRD), the Gulf fisheye BRD, and to revise the allowable configuration of the fisheye BRD for use in the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery. The intended effect of this rule is to improve bycatch reduction in the shrimp fishery and better meet the requirements of national standard 9.
