FEDERAL REGISTER INFORMATION SOLICITATION
NOTICE
Under the Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act (MSRA), the United States is required to
take action to combat illegal, unreported, or unregulated (IUU) fishing and reduce bycatch
of protected living marine resources (PLMRs). Among the actions that must be taken,
the Secretary of Commerce is required to produce a biennial report to Congress that
identifies nations whose vessels are engaged in IUU fishing and/or bycatch of PLMRs.
In preparation for the first biennial report, which is due to Congress in January 2009,
NOAA Fisheries is soliciting information that could be used in the identification of
nations.
On Friday, March 21st, NOAA Fisheries published a notice in the Federal Register (56 CFR 15136)
soliciting information from the public regarding nations whose vessels are engaged in IUU
fishing and bycatch of PLMRs. In order to process and verify all information in a timely
manner, NOAA Fisheries is requesting that information be submitted by April 21, 2008. -
