| 2011-15325 | Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Vessel Monitoring Systems | Proposed Rule | The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to require replacement of currently required Mobile Transmitting Unit (MTU) Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) units with Enhanced Mobile Transmitting Unit (E-MTU) VMS units in Atlantic HMS fisheries; implement a declaration system that requires vessels to declare target fishery and gear type(s) possessed on board; and require that a qualified marine electrician install all E-MTU VMS units. This proposed rulemaking would remove dated MTU VMS units from service in Atlantic HMS fisheries, make Atlantic HMS VMS requirements consistent with other VMS-monitored Atlantic fisheries, provide the National Marine Fisheries Service Office of Law Enforcement (NMFS Enforcement) with enhanced communication with HMS vessels at sea. This rule would affect all HMS pelagic longline (PLL), bottom longline (BLL), and shark gillnet fishermen who are currently required to have VMS onboard their vessels. | 2011-06-21 | 2011 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/06/21/2011-15325/atlantic-highly-migratory-species-vessel-monitoring-systems | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-06-21/pdf/2011-15325.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to require replacement of currently required Mobile Transmitting Unit (MTU) Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) units with Enhanced Mobile Transmitting Unit (E-MTU) VMS units in Atlantic HMS fisheries;... | 0648-BA64 |
