{"abstract":"The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (South Atlantic Council) and Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) Fishery Management Council (Gulf Council) have submitted the For-hire Reporting Amendment for review, approval, and implementation by NMFS. The For-hire Reporting Amendment includes Amendment 27 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Coastal Migratory Pelagic (CMP) Resources of the Gulf and Atlantic Region (CMP FMP), Amendment 9 to the FMP for the Dolphin and Wahoo Fishery off the Atlantic States (Dolphin Wahoo FMP), and Amendment 39 to the FMP for Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (Snapper-Grouper FMP). If approved by the Secretary of Commerce, the For-hire Reporting Amendment would establish new, and revise existing, electronic reporting requirements for federally permitted charter vessels and headboats (for-hire vessels), respectively. The For-hire Reporting Amendment would require a charter vessel with a Federal charter vessel/ headboat permit for Atlantic CMP, Atlantic dolphin and wahoo, or South Atlantic snapper-grouper species to submit an electronic fishing report weekly, or at shorter intervals if notified by NMFS, through NMFS approved hardware and software. The For-hire Reporting Amendment would also reduce the time allowed for headboats to submit an electronic fishing report. The purpose of the For-hire Reporting Amendment is to increase and improve fisheries information collected from federally permitted for-hire vessels in the Atlantic. The information is expected to improve recreational fisheries management of the for-hire component in the Atlantic.","action":"Notice of availability (NOA); 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/2018/03/14/2018-05191.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":622,"title":50}],"citation":"83 FR 11164","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2018-05-13","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Written comments on the For-hire Reporting Amendment must be received by May 13, 2018.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"For Hire Reporting Amendment","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2017-0152-0001"}],"agency_name":"NOAA","documents":[{"comment_count":61,"comment_start_date":"2018-03-14","updated_at":"2023-02-28T15:02:19.769-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/NOAA-NMFS-2017-0152-0002","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"NOAA-NMFS-2017-0152-0002","comment_end_date":"2018-05-14","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":1,"id":"NOAA-NMFS-2017-0152","title":"For Hire Reporting Amendment--South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico"}],"document_number":"2018-05191","effective_on":null,"end_page":11167,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2018/03/14/2018-05191.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/03/14/2018-05191/fisheries-of-the-caribbean-gulf-of-mexico-and-south-atlantic-electronic-reporting-for-federally","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2018-05191?publication_date=2018-03-14","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2018-03-14/2018-05191/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":267,"last_updated":"2026-07-27 00:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-03-14/pdf/2018-05191.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2018-05191.pdf?1520945137","publication_date":"2018-03-14","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2018/03/14/2018-05191.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0648-BG75":{"issue":"202004","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/0648-BG75/rule-to-implement-the-for-hire-reporting-amendments","title":"Rule to Implement the For-Hire Reporting Amendments","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202004&RIN=0648-BG75&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["0648-BG75"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"For Hire Reporting Amendment","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2017-0152-0001"}],"regulatory_plan":{"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/0648-BG75/rule-to-implement-the-for-hire-reporting-amendments","title":"Rule to Implement the For-Hire Reporting Amendments"},"comments_count":61,"agency_id":"NOAA","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=NOAA-NMFS-2017-0152","supporting_documents_count":1,"docket_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2017-0152","document_id":"NOAA-NMFS-2017-0152-0002","regulation_id_number":"0648-BG75","title":"For Hire Reporting Amendment--South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-02-28T20:02:18Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":11164,"subtype":null,"title":"Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Electronic Reporting for Federally Permitted Charter Vessels and Headboats in Atlantic Fisheries","toc_doc":"Electronic Reporting for Federally Permitted Charter Vessels and Headboats in Atlantic Fisheries","toc_subject":"Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic:","topics":[],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":83}
