| 2015-03955 | Fisheries Off West Coast States; Highly Migratory Fisheries; California Swordfish Drift Gillnet Fishery; Vessel Monitoring System and Pre-Trip Notification Requirements | Rule | NMFS is issuing regulations that require use of a NMFS- approved vessel monitoring system (VMS) and institute a pre-trip notification requirement for West Coast large-mesh swordfish drift gillnet (DGN) vessel owners and operators. The DGN fishery operates under the authority of the Federal Fishery Management Plan for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species (HMS FMP). Installing and operating VMS on vessels in this fishery will provide NMFS and law enforcement personnel with the ability to monitor the DGN fishery for compliance with conservation measures, efficiently deploy agents to inspect vessels, and provide the ability to more closely examine and compare the distribution of observed and unobserved fishing effort. The pre-trip notification will assist NMFS with timely and efficient placement of NMFS-trained observers on board DGN vessels. This action implements the recommendations of the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) and satisfies terms and conditions of the NMFS' 2013 Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7 Biological Opinion (Opinion). | 2015-02-26 | 2015 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/02/26/2015-03955/fisheries-off-west-coast-states-highly-migratory-fisheries-california-swordfish-drift-gillnet | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-02-26/pdf/2015-03955.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS is issuing regulations that require use of a NMFS- approved vessel monitoring system (VMS) and institute a pre-trip notification requirement for West Coast large-mesh swordfish drift gillnet (DGN) vessel owners and operators.
