The Department of Commerce is requesting public comments on a proposal related to information collection from federally permitted fish dealers. This data is gathered to help manage fisheries under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The collection involves a mandatory weekly report detailing all fish transactions for commercial purposes. The public is invited to submit comments within 30 days on the website www.reginfo.gov.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to hear what people think about a rule that makes fish dealers tell them every week what fish they buy. But some people are confused about how they've done the math and worried there might be mistakes or missing details about how it helps take care of the fish in the ocean.
