| 2017-19981 | International Fisheries; Western and Central Pacific Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species; Fishing Limits in Purse Seine Fisheries for 2017 | Proposed Rule | NMFS seeks comments on this proposed rule issued under authority of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act (WCPFC Implementation Act). The proposed rule would establish a limit for calendar year 2017 on fishing effort by U.S. purse seine vessels in the U.S. exclusive economic zone (U.S. EEZ) and on the high seas between the latitudes of 20[deg] N. and 20[deg] S. in the area of application of the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (Convention). The limit is 1,828 fishing days. The rule also would make corrections to outdated cross references in existing regulatory text. This action is necessary to satisfy the obligations of the United States under the Convention, to which it is a Contracting Party. | 2017-09-20 | 2017 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/09/20/2017-19981/international-fisheries-western-and-central-pacific-fisheries-for-highly-migratory-species-fishing | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-09-20/pdf/2017-19981.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS seeks comments on this proposed rule issued under authority of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act (WCPFC Implementation Act).
