ACTION:
Proposed rule; withdrawal.
The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) withdraws a
proposed rule proposing to implement
Fisheries Finance Program (FFP)
financing of the cost of constructing
new fishing vessels. NMFS published
the proposed rule in the Federal
Register on November 2, 2018. After
careful consideration, NMFS has
decided that the proposed changes
discussed in the proposed rule are not
warranted at this time.
SUMMARY:
The proposed rule published on
November 2, 2018 (83 FR 55137), is
withdrawn as of March 31, 2020.
DATES:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Elaine Saiz, NMFS, (301) 427–8752,

In 2016,
Congress passed section 302 of the Coast
Guard Authorization Act of 2015, which
included specific authority for the FFP
to finance the construction of fishing
vessels in a fishery that is managed
under a limited access system. The
proposed regulations provided guidance
to implement this financing while also
protecting fish resources.
NMFS published a proposed rule to
implement the financing in the Federal
Register on November 2, 2018, (83 FR
55137).
Following public comment and
consultations with the President’s Office
of Management and Budget, NMFS
again analyzed the effects of the
proposed rule and decided that the
changes covered in the proposed rule
are not warranted at this time.
Therefore, NMFS is withdrawing the
proposed rule published in the Federal
Register on November 2, 2018 (83 FR
55137).
