    The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is seeking public comments on its plan to renew an information collection for the United States Marine Highway Program. This collection, designated as OMB 2133-0541, will help evaluate applications for grant funding. Changes made by the James M.

A public notice was issued to gather feedback in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

  • 2025-00716 — Implementation of Provisions of the Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing Enforcement Act of 2015, the Ensuring Access to Pacific Fisheries Act, and the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 4710
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has decided to withdraw a proposed rule intended to enforce new measures against illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The rule, initially published in July 2022, aimed to update regulations according to changes from the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023. However, NMFS cites a lack of sufficient time to complete the necessary revisions and seek public input before the current administration ends. If necessary, NMFS may propose new regulations in the future using standard procedures for public notice and input.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of U.S. fishing rules wanted to change some rules to make sure everyone fishes fairly, but they ran out of time to finish those changes before a big deadline. They might try again later to make the new rules.
