Title: Antarctic Marine Living Resources Vessel Monitoring System and Catch Documentation Scheme | |
Abstract: This rule would lengthen the duration of the permit required to enter a Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) site from one year to five years. The rule would define the CCAMLR fishing season and require the use of an automated satellite-linked vessel monitoring system (VMS) for U.S. vessels harvesting Antarctic marine living resources (AMLR) in the area of the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (Convention). The rule would also require a non-resident consignee to designate a resident agent; prohibit the importation of Dissostichus species declared as harvested in certain high seas areas outside the Convention area; prohibit the import of Dissostichus species issued a Specially Validated Dissostichus Catch Document (SVDCD); provide guidance on the disposition of AMLR seized by law enforcement personnel; and propose regulations to modify requirements for U.S. receivers and importers of Dissostichus species harvested in all waters, including those under the jurisdiction of CCAMLR. This rule is intended to implement U.S. obligations as a member of CCAMLR and to conserve Antarctic and Patagonian toothfish by preventing and discouraging unlawful harvest and trade in these species. | |
