Title: 2008 Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Recreational Fishery Management Measures 
Abstract: This action would establish the recreational management measures (minimum fish size, possession limits, and fishing seasons) for the 2008 summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass recreational fisheries. The annual recreational management measures are considered to be annual specifications. This action initially assigned to the 2008 fluke, scup, and BSB specifications; that action published under 0648-XC84 (X-RIN) because the action contained no implementing regulations. This action was reassigned to the recreational management measures on January 23, 2008.
