NMFS adopts as final, without change, an interim final rule that amends the regulations that require summer flounder trawlers to use Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in waters off Virginia and North Carolina to reduce the incidental capture of endangered and threatened sea turtles. NMFS is requiring that any approved hard TED or special TED installed in a summer flounder trawl be installed in a TED extension (a cylinder of webbing in which the TED is installed). NMFS also is providing specifications for the TED extension and requiring that it be constructed of webbing no larger than 3.5-inch (8.9 cm) stretched mesh. The intent of this final rule is to prevent adverse impacts to turtles in the course of summer flounder trawling.

NMFS adopts as final, without change, an interim final rule that amends the regulations that require summer flounder trawlers to use Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in waters off Virginia and North Carolina to reduce the incidental capture of endangered and threatened sea turtles. NMFS is requiring that any approved hard TED or special TED installed in a summer flounder trawl be installed in a TED extension (a cylinder of webbing in which the TED is installed). NMFS also is providing specifications for the TED extension and requiring that it be constructed of webbing no larger than 3.5-inch (8.9 cm) stretched mesh. The intent of this final rule is to prevent adverse impacts to turtles in the course of summer flounder trawling.
This final rule is effective May 17, 2002.
