{"abstract":"NMFS announces its request for applications for the 2019 shark research fishery from commercial shark fishermen with directed or incidental shark limited access permits. The shark research fishery allows for the collection of fishery-dependent and biological data for future stock assessments and to meet the research objectives of the Agency. The only commercial vessels authorized to land sandbar sharks are those participating in the shark research fishery. Shark research fishery permittees may also land other large coastal sharks (LCS), small coastal sharks (SCS), smoothhound, and pelagic sharks. Commercial shark fishermen who are interested in participating in the shark research fishery need to submit a completed Shark Research Fishery Permit Application in order to be considered.","action":"Notice of intent; request for applications.","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/2018/11/01/2018-23901.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"83 FR 54917","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Shark Research Fishery Applications must be received no later than December 1, 2018.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2018-23901","effective_on":null,"end_page":54919,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2018/11/01/2018-23901.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/11/01/2018-23901/atlantic-highly-migratory-species-atlantic-shark-management-measures-2019-research-fishery","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2018-23901?publication_date=2018-11-01","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2018-11-01/2018-23901/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":180,"last_updated":"2026-08-25 04:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-11-01/pdf/2018-23901.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2018-23901.pdf?1540989926","publication_date":"2018-11-01","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2018/11/01/2018-23901.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0648-XG51":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0648-XG51"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2018-11-21T11:00:20Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":54917,"subtype":null,"title":"Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Shark Management Measures; 2019 Research Fishery","toc_doc":"Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Shark Management Measures; 2019 Research Fishery","toc_subject":"Requests for Applications:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":83}
