    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.

    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 102000
    Reading Time:about 77 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued a final rule to update regulations on the confidentiality of information under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. This rule aligns with legislative changes such as the 2006 Magnuson-Stevens Act Reauthorization, the 1996 Sustainable Fisheries Act, and amendments from the 2015 Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing Enforcement Act. It ensures that confidential information collected for fisheries management is protected, though certain conditions allow for its disclosure, for example, for enforcement purposes or international agreements. The rule also includes provisions for transparency and cooperation between federal and state agencies, while maintaining the necessary confidentiality in line with legal requirements.

    Simple Explanation

    The government made new rules about keeping fish information secret, like a big secret code, but sometimes they can share it to help if there's a problem. They also want to make sure everyone, like different states, knows how to work together while still keeping the secrets.

  • 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.
