Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Atlantic Herring Fishery; Regulatory Amendment

Document Number: 2011-22436

Type: Rule

Date: 2011-09-01

Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

NMFS revises the reporting requirements for vessels issued Atlantic herring (herring) permits, because more timely catch information is necessary to monitor herring catch against the stock- wide herring annual catch limit (ACL) and herring management area sub- ACLs, to help prevent sub-ACLs overages and the chance of premature fishery closures. This action requires limited access herring vessels to report catch daily via vessel monitoring systems (VMS), open access herring vessels to report catch weekly via the interactive voice response (IVR) system, and all herring-permitted vessels to submit vessel trip reports (VTRs) weekly.
