Atlantic Shark Identification

Since December 31, 2007, Atlantic
shark dealers have been prohibited from
receiving, purchasing, trading, or
bartering for Atlantic sharks unless a
valid Atlantic Shark Identification
Workshop certificate is on the premises
of each business listed under the shark
dealer permit which first receives
Atlantic sharks (71 FR 58057; October 2,
2006). Dealers who attend and
successfully complete a workshop are
issued a certificate for each place of
business that is permitted to receive
sharks. These certificate(s) are valid for
three years.
Currently permitted dealers may send
a proxy to an Atlantic Shark
Identification Workshop. However, if a
dealer opts to send a proxy, the dealer
must designate a proxy for each place of
business covered by the dealer’s permit
which first receives Atlantic sharks.
Only one certificate will be issued to
each proxy. A proxy must be a person
who: is currently employed by a place
of business covered by the dealer’s
permit; is a primary participant in the

other conveyances which are extensions
