Title: ●Notice of Control Date for the Blueline Tilefish Fishery in Waters North of the Virginia/North Carolina Border  
Abstract: At the request of the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, this advance notice of proposed rulemaking announced a control date for qualifying landings history for continued access to the blueline tilefish fishery in Federal waters north of the Virginia/North Carolina border. The blueline tilefish fishery south of this line is managed by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council. NMFS intends for this advance notice of proposed rulemaking to promote awareness of possible rulemaking; alert interested parties of potential eligibility criteria for future access; and discourage speculative entry into and/or investment in the blueline tilefish fishery north of the Virginia/North Carolina border while the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council considers if and how access to the blueline tilefish fishery should be controlled.
