0648-BH66 201804 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0648 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA 0600 Department of Commerce DOC Control Date for Qualifying Landings History and to Limit Entry Into the Party/Charter Fishery for Northeast Groundfish

The New England Fishery Management Council voted to establish a control date for the Northeast multispecies party/charter fishery. The control date enables the Council to inform the industry about future action to control the number of participants in the fishery. Anyone entering the fishery after the control date will not be assured of future access. The Council requested that the control date be published in the Federal Register to provide timely notice to the industry. This advanced notice of proposed rulemaking is intended to notify the public and stakeholders of possible rulemaking and alert interested parties of potential eligibility criteria for future access.
