SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management
Council's HMS Committee will meet to review and provide comments on the
NOAA HMS Proposed Rule for Electronic Reporting Requirements for
Atlantic HMS. This action proposes to modify and/or expand reporting
requirements for Atlantic HMS, including reporting by commercial, for-
hire, and private recreational vessel owners and dealers. The proposed
rule includes: (1) Requiring vessel owners, who currently report in
existing paper commercial logbooks (i.e., Atlantic HMS logbook and the
Southeast Coastal Fisheries Logbook Program), to report electronically;
(2) Implementing new logbook requirements for vessel owners holding HMS
Charter/Headboat permits, Atlantic Tunas General category permits,
Atlantic Tunas Harpoon category permits, and/or Swordfish General
Commercial permits; (3) Modifying reporting options for private
recreational vessel owners holding HMS Angling permits; (4) Requiring
HMS dealers to report individual fish weights for additional species
(i.e., Atlantic bigeye, albacore, yellowfin, and skipjack tunas,
swordfish, and pelagic sharks); (5) Requiring electronic HMS reporting
for all permit holders, using systems or applications approved by NOAA
Fisheries for Atlantic HMS; and 6) Technical changes to clarify certain
HMS regulations.
