The Generic Dealer Amendment amends the following FMPs: Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf, Red Drum Fishery of the Gulf, Snapper-Grouper Fishery (including wreckfish) of the South Atlantic Region, Golden Crab Fishery of the South Atlantic Region, Shrimp Fishery (excluding penaeid shrimp) of the South Atlantic Region, Dolphin and Wahoo Fishery of the Atlantic, Coastal Migratory Pelagic (CMP) Resources of the Gulf and South Atlantic, and Spiny Lobster Fishery of the Gulf and South Atlantic, as prepared by the Gulf and South Atlantic Fishery Management Councils (Councils). This final rule modifies the permitting and reporting requirements for seafood dealers who first receive species managed by the Councils through the previously mentioned FMPs. These revisions create a single dealer permit for dealers who first receive fish managed by the Councils, require both purchase and non-purchase reports to be submitted online on a weekly basis, prohibit dealers from first receiving fish from federally permitted vessels if they are delinquent in submitting reports, and change the sale and purchase provisions based on the new dealer permitting requirements. This rule also adds regulatory language to clarify the bag limit for private recreational vessels when a trip exceeds one calendar day. The purpose of this rule is to obtain timelier purchase information from dealers to better monitor annual catch limits (ACLs) and achieve optimum yield (OY) in accordance with the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). 79 FR 19490 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2014-04-09/2014-07983 2014-07983 fr09ap14-10 RIN 0648-BC12 3510-22-P Docket No. 120405260-4258-02 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2014-04-09/2014-07983 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-04-09/html/2014-07983.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-04-09/pdf/2014-07983.pdf Dealer Fisheries Fishing Gulf of Mexico Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements South Atlantic 8 p. 19490 19497 79 FR 19490 Title 50 Part 622 50 CFR Part 622 RIN 0648-BC12 Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Revisions to Dealer Permitting and Reporting Requirements for Species Managed by the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery Management Councils; Federal Register Vol. 79, Issue RULE 2014-07983 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 2014-08-07 Docket No. 120405260-4258-02 3510-22-P 2014-07983 Final rule.
