    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 102091
    Reading Time:about 45 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes a new regulation to enable electronic filing of the Certification of Admissibility (COA) form for importing certain fish and fish products to the United States. This rule aims to streamline the entry process for non-restricted seafood imports while maintaining adherence to laws like the Marine Mammal Protection Act, enabling consistency across programs and reducing paperwork burdens. By automating the COA process through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) portal, NMFS intends to facilitate trade while ensuring compliance with U.S. import restrictions on fisheries from foreign nations. Stakeholders, including importers and exporters, are encouraged to submit their comments on the proposal by February 18, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The National Marine Fisheries Service wants to make it easier to bring fish into the U.S. by using computers instead of paper to fill out special forms that say the fish are allowed, but they need to make sure everyone can understand and work with the new rules.

    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is inviting public comments on the continuation of information collection related to fishery products involved in trade restrictions, under the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act. This collection ensures that imported fishery products comply with existing U.S. laws and standards. Public comments can be submitted via email, and the information collected helps in evaluating whether the current processes efficiently protect fishery compliance with international regulations. The NOAA aims to minimize the reporting burden while maintaining the flow of trade.

    Simple Explanation

    The government department that looks after the ocean is checking to make sure fish coming into the country follow the rules. They want to hear what people think about how they collect information from the folks who bring in the fish, to make it easier and better.
