    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has issued a temporary rule to close commercial fishing for king mackerel using run-around gillnets in the southern Gulf of Mexico. This closure, starting on January 28, 2021, and lasting until January 18, 2022, is due to the annual catch limit being reached. The closure is intended to protect the king mackerel population in the area. While the commercial use of gillnets is halted, hook-and-line fishing and recreational fishing for king mackerel in the area may continue under certain conditions.

    Simple Explanation

    In the ocean near the southern part of the Gulf of Mexico, there's a type of fish called king mackerel. Because too many were caught, the rulers of fish decided that the special fishing nets used for catching them can't be used until next year. This helps keep enough fish in the sea.

    The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General announced a temporary delay in the effective date of certain amendments to a rule about safe harbor protections for prescription drug rebates. This decision is in line with the "Regulatory Freeze Pending Review" memo from January 20, 2021, and is due to ongoing litigation challenging the rule. The effective date for these amendments, initially set for January 29, 2021, is postponed to March 22, 2021, to allow time for further review and consideration. Additionally, a correction was made to a technical error in the published amendatory instructions.

They're hoping this short break will help everyone figure things out better.
