{"abstract":"NMFS proposes to revise the identification marking requirements for fishing gear marker buoys (buoys) used in Federal waters off Alaska. This proposed rule would eliminate the requirement that hook-and-line, longline pot, and pot-and-line buoys be marked with the vessel's name. The requirement to mark buoys with either the vessel's Federal fisheries permit number or Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) number remains in effect. This action is needed to remove a regulatory requirement that is unnecessary. This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI Groundfish FMP), the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA Groundfish FMP), and other applicable laws.","action":"Proposed rule; request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration","id":361,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/361","parent_id":54,"slug":"national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2014/01/03/2013-31416.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":679,"title":50}],"citation":"79 FR 381","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2014-02-03","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be received no later than February 3, 2014.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. 130903776-3776-01"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2013-31416","effective_on":null,"end_page":384,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2014/01/03/2013-31416.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/01/03/2013-31416/fisheries-of-the-exclusive-economic-zone-off-alaska-modifications-to-identification-markings-on","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2013-31416?publication_date=2014-01-03","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2014-01-03/2013-31416/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":122,"last_updated":"2026-06-08 20:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-01-03/pdf/2013-31416.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2013-31416.pdf?1388670846","publication_date":"2014-01-03","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2014/01/03/2013-31416.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0648-BD66":{"issue":"201404","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/0648-BD66/modifications-to-identification-markings-on-fishing-gear-marker-buoys-","title":"Modifications to Identification Markings on Fishing Gear Marker Buoys ","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201404&RIN=0648-BD66&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["0648-BD66"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"December 2013 RIR-IRFA Regulatory Amendment to Modify Buoy Marking Requirements for Hook-and-line and Pot-gear Operations","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2013-0137-0002"}],"regulatory_plan":{"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/0648-BD66/modifications-to-identification-markings-on-fishing-gear-marker-buoys-","title":"Modifications to Identification Markings on Fishing Gear Marker Buoys "},"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=NOAA-NMFS-2013-0137","supporting_documents_count":1,"docket_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2013-0137","regulation_id_number":"0648-BD66","title":"Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Modifications to Identification Markings on Fishing Gear Marker Buoys","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2014-02-05T05:01:04Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":381,"subtype":null,"title":"Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Modifications to Identification Markings on Fishing Gear Marker Buoys","toc_doc":"Modifications to Identification Markings on Fishing Gear Marker Buoys","toc_subject":"Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska:","topics":["Alaska","Fisheries","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":79}
