        <RULE_TITLE>Potential Revisions to the Turtle Excluder Device (TEDs) Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[With this action, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) announces that it is considering technical changes to the requirements for turtle excluder devices (TEDs), and to solicit public comment.  Specifically, NMFS would modify the size of the TED escape opening currently required in the summer flounder fishery; require the use of TEDs in the whelk, calico scallop, and Mid-Atlantic scallop trawl fisheries; require the use of TEDs in flynets; and to move the current northern boundary of the Summer Flounder Fishery-Sea Turtle Protection Area off Cape Charles, Virginia, to a point farther north.]]></ABSTRACT>
