ACTION: Notice; public workshop.
AGENCY:
The Mid-Atlantic Fishery
Management Council will hold a public
workshop for the purposes of addressing
law enforcement issues in for-hire
fisheries operations, particularly
operator versus angler (client)
responsibility for fisheries violations
that occur on for-hire vessels and law
enforcement options for addressing
these and issues related to the sale of
fish by private recreational anglers
(particularly golden tilefish and tunas)
focusing on the need for vessels selling
fish to comply with U.S. Coast Guard
requirements and/or Federal permits
that allow for the sale of fish.
DATES: The workshop will be held from
Tuesday, November 13, 2018, from 12
noon to 5 p.m. and Wednesday,

proposed agenda and briefing materials.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Fishing
activity on for-hire (party and charter
boats) fishing vessels generally differs
from that on commercial or private
recreational vessels in that the vessel
operator is not the primary fisher, but is
generally hired by the fisher to take
them onto the water and provide access
to fish. However, even though the forhire operator may never partake in
reeling in or handling the fish, they are
still responsible for ensuring that their
customers adhere to fishing regulations
and can be subject to fines and other
legal actions for violations by their
customers. Operators and crew of these
vessels may be faced with difficulties in
tracking the fishing activities of every
customer given the multiple tasks
associated with safely operating the
vessel and taking care of up to 40 or
more passengers at a time. This may be
particularly difficult when fishing is
heavy and crew members are kept busy
assisting many customers at any one
time. The issue of whether the vessel
operator should be legally responsible
for infractions (intentional or
unintentional) of their customer has
been a long-running discussion among
some in the Mid-Atlantic for-hire
community.
Additionally, concerns have been
expressed about the sale of golden
tilefish and tuna by operators of
recreational vessels that do not possess
permits allowing for the sale of those
species or possess Coast Guard (vessel

safety) requirements for commercial
vessels. High prices that can be obtained
from the sale of some of these species
may provide greater incentives for this
to occur.
The MAFMC’s Law Enforcement
Committee, Tilefish Committee, and
Highly Migratory Species Committee
held a joint conference call on
September 20, 2018 to discuss these two
issues. During the call, a draft outline of
agenda topics for a future workshop
were discussed. Subsequently, during
the MAFMC meeting on October 4,
2018, a presentation was made
regarding these issues and Council
members made brief remarks regarding
them. Recordings of both meetings are
available at the Council’s website
www.mafmc.org.
To address these issues further, a
workshop will be held November 13–14
bringing together representatives of the
federal fisheries law enforcement
community (principally NOAA
Fisheries and U.S. Coast Guard),
representatives of state fisheries law
enforcement agencies, the Mid-Atlantic
for-hire community, and other
interested members of the public to
further refine these issues and develop
potential solutions. A workshop
summary and recommendations will be
presented to the MAFMC during their
December 2018 meeting. An agenda and
background documents will be posted at
the Council’s website (www.mafmc.org)
prior to the meeting.
Special Accommodations
The meeting is physically accessible
to people with disabilities. Requests for
sign language interpretation or other

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Addition
On 7/27/2018 (83 FR 145), the
Committee for Purchase From People
Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled
published notice of proposed addition
to the Procurement List.
After consideration of the material
presented to it concerning capability of
qualified nonprofit agency to provide
the service and impact of the addition
on the current or most recent
contractors, the Committee has
determined that the service listed below
is suitable for procurement by the
Federal Government under 41 U.S.C.
8501–8506 and 41 CFR 51–2.4.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
I certify that the following action will
not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The major factors considered for this
certification were:
1. The action will not result in any
additional reporting, recordkeeping or
other compliance requirements for small
entities other than the small
organization that will provide the
service to the Government.
2. The action will result in
authorizing a small entity to provide the
service to the Government.
3. There are no known regulatory
alternatives which would accomplish
the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501–8506) in
connection with the service proposed
for addition to the Procurement List.

End of Certification
Accordingly, the following service is
added to the Procurement List:
