This final rule adjusts the quotas and retention limits and establishes the opening date for the 2024 fishing year for the Atlantic shark commercial fisheries.

Quotas are adjusted as required or allowable based on any underharvests from the previous fishing years. The final measures could affect fishing opportunities for commercial shark fishermen in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea.

Existing Validated End-User Authorizations in the People's Republic of China: Samsung China Semiconductor Co. Ltd. and SK hynix Semiconductor (China)) Ltd; Correction
Document Number: 2023-23312
Type: Rule
Date: 2023-11-08
Agency: Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a rule in the Federal Register on October 17, 2023, that amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to revise the existing Validated End- User (VEU) list for the People's Republic of China (PRC) for Samsung China Semiconductor Co. Ltd. and SK hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd. That rule inadvertently omitted two amendments to the list of VEUs, which resulted in failure to add a word to the description of eligible items for SK Hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd.; as well as the failure to remove the entry for SK hynix Semiconductor (Wuxi), which was necessary because SK hynix Semiconductor (Wuxi) recently merged with SK hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd. This rule corrects both omissions.
