Title: Amendment 16 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico, U.S. Waters 
Abstract: This rule changed the annual catch limit and selected an accountability measure for royal red shrimp. On January 30, 2012, the National Marine Fisheries Service implemented regulations developed through a generic annual catch limit and accountability measure amendment to multiple fishery management plans, including the Shrimp Fishery Management Plan. The rule removed the quota and in-season closure, and increased the annual catch limit. The current accountability measure, which requires in-season monitoring and closure the year following an annual catch limit overage, remained in effect.
