Title: ●NMFS Fisheries Disaster Assistance
Abstract: In accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), as amended, and the Interjurisdictional Fisheries Act (IFA), the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) proposes regulations to govern the application for and determination of commercial fishery failures as a basis for acquiring potential disaster assistance. The regulations would establish definitions, characteristics of commercial fishery failures and fishery resource disasters, requirements for initiating a review by NMFS, and the administrative process it will follow in processing such applications. The intended effect of these procedures and requirements is to clarify the fishery disaster assistance provisions of the MSA and the IFA through rulemaking and thereby facilitate the processing of requests.
