Title: Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS); Renewal of Atlantic Tunas Longline Limited Access Permits (LAPs); Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop Attendance Requirements  
Abstract: This rule would amend the regulations governing the renewal of Atlantic tunas longline LAPs, and workshop attendance requirements for businesses issued Atlantic shark dealer permits. Specifically, these regulatory changes would allow for the renewal of Atlantic tunas longline LAPs that have been expired for more than one year, if an otherwise qualified permit holder has maintained their associated swordfish and shark LAPs through timely renewal. Also, the rule would modify the Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop attendance requirements for businesses issued Atlantic shark dealer permits that have more than one dealer location listed on their permit. The regulations would specify that a dealer must submit a Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop certificate (dealer or proxy) for each place of business where Atlantic sharks are received, rather than from each location listed on their dealer permit.
