{"abstract":"NMFS proposes regulations under the Tuna Conventions Act to implement provisions of two Resolutions adopted by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) in 2016: Resolution C-16-01 (Collection and Analyses of Data On Fish-Aggregating Devices) and Resolution C-16-06 (Conservation Measures for Shark Species, with Special Emphasis on the Silky Shark (Carcharhinus Falciformis) for the Years 2017, 2018, and 2019). Per Resolution C-16-01, these regulations would require the owner or operator of a U.S. purse seine vessel to ensure characters of a unique code be marked indelibly on each fish aggregating device (FAD) deployed or modified on or after January 1, 2017, in the IATTC Convention Area. The vessel owner or operator would also be required to record and submit information about the FAD, as described in Annex I of the Resolution C-16-01. Per Resolution C-16-06, these regulations would prohibit the owner or operator of a U.S. purse seine vessel from retaining on board, transshipping, landing, or storing, in part or whole, carcasses of silky sharks caught by purse- seine vessels in the IATTC Convention Area. These regulations would also provide limits on the retained catch of silky sharks caught in the IATTC Convention Area. This proposed rule is necessary for the United States to satisfy its obligations as a member of the IATTC.","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/2016/10/11/2016-24444.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":300,"title":50}],"citation":"81 FR 70080","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2016-11-10","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments on the proposed rule and supporting documents must be submitted in writing by November 10, 2016.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. 160801681-6857-01"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"RIR_ Implementation of IATTC Resolutions on FADs & Silky Shark_9_6_2016","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2016-0106-0002"}],"agency_name":"NOAA","documents":[{"comment_count":1,"comment_start_date":"2016-10-11","updated_at":"2023-02-28T15:57:10.932-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/NOAA-NMFS-2016-0106-0001","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"NOAA-NMFS-2016-0106-0001","comment_end_date":"2016-11-11","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":1,"id":"NOAA-NMFS-2016-0106","title":"International Fisheries;
