Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Summer Flounder Fishery; 2024 Commercial Quota Harvested for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
NMFS announces that the 2024 summer flounder commercial quota allocated to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has been harvested. Vessels issued a commercial Federal fisheries permit for the summer flounder fishery may not land summer flounder in Massachusetts for the remainder of calendar year 2024, unless additional quota becomes available through a transfer from another state. Regulations governing the summer flounder fishery require publication of this notification to advise Massachusetts that the quota has been harvested, and to advise vessel permit holders and dealer permit holders that no Federal commercial quota is available for landing summer flounder in Massachusetts.

Commerce Control List Additions and Revisions; Implementation of Controls on Advanced Technologies Consistent With Controls Implemented by International Partners
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is implementing export controls on several semiconductor, quantum, and additive manufacturing items for national security and foreign policy reasons. This rule adds new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) to the Commerce Control List, revises existing ECCNs, adds a new license exception to authorize exports and reexports to and by countries that have implemented equivalent technical controls for these newly added items, and adds two new worldwide license requirements to the national security and regional stability controls in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). These controls are the product of extensive discussions with international partners.
Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet From the People's Republic of China: Continuation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders
As a result of the determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that the revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on certain common alloy aluminum sheet (CAAS) from the People's Republic of China (China) would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies, and material injury to an industry in the United States, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of the AD and CVD orders.
Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Fishery Management Plans of Puerto Rico, St. Croix, and St. Thomas and St. John; Amendment 3
The Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Council) had submitted Amendment 3 to the Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) for Puerto Rice, St. Croix, and St. Thomas and St. John (Amendment 3) for review, approval, and implementation by NMFS. If approved by the Secretary of Commerce, Amendment 3 would establish new management measures for dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) and wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri) in U.S. Caribbean Federal waters, including commercial and recreational minimum size limits and recreational bag and possession limits. The purpose of Amendment 3 is to develop management measures to ensure dolphinfish and wahoo have adequate time to mature and reproduce and to take a precautionary approach to management to protect against overfishing.
Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Electronic Reporting Requirements
NMFS is proposing to modify and/or expand reporting requirements for Atlantic highly migratory species (HMS), including reporting by commercial, for-hire, and private recreational vessel owners and dealers. This proposed action would require vessel owners, who currently report in existing paper commercial logbooks (i.e., Atlantic HMS logbook and the Southeast Coastal Fisheries Logbook Program), to report electronically. NMFS is also proposing to implement new logbook requirements for vessel owners holding HMS Charter/Headboat permits or Atlantic Tunas General category permits, Atlantic Tunas Harpoon category permits, and/or Swordfish General Commercial permits. This proposed action would modify reporting options for private recreational vessel owners holding HMS Angling permits. Additionally, HMS dealers would be required to report individual fish weights for additional species (i.e., Atlantic bigeye, albacore, yellowfin, and skipjack (BAYS) tunas, swordfish, and pelagic sharks). All HMS reporting would become electronic, using systems or applications approved by NMFS for Atlantic HMS. Finally, this proposed action would make technical changes to clarify certain HMS regulations.
