{"abstract":"Under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), the NMFS Assistant Administrator for Fisheries (Assistant Administrator) has issued comparability findings for the Government of Mexico's following fisheries: Upper Gulf of California shrimp trawl fishery for both small and large vessels; Upper Gulf of California shrimp suripera fishery; Upper Gulf of California sierra purse seine fishery; Upper Gulf of California sierra hook and line fishery; Upper Gulf of California chano trawl fishery, for small vessels; Upper Gulf of California curvina purse seine fishery; and Upper Gulf of California sardine/curvina purse seine fishery for both small and large vessels. The Assistant Administrator is denying a comparability finding for the El Golfo de Santa Clara curvina rodeo-style gillnet fishery. NMFS bases the comparability findings on documentary evidence submitted by the Government of Mexico and other relevant, readily-available information including scientific literature and the reports of the \"Comit[eacute] Internacional para la Recuperaci[oacute]n de la Vaquita\" (CIRVA) (the international recovery team for vaquita).","action":"Notice; comparability findings for Mexico.","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/2018/12/06/2018-26418.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"83 FR 62842","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"These comparability findings are valid for the period of November 30, 2018, through January 1, 2022, unless revoked by the Assistant Administrator in a subsequent action.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2018-26418","effective_on":null,"end_page":62844,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2018/12/06/2018-26418.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/12/06/2018-26418/implementation-of-fish-and-fish-product-import-provisions-of-the-marine-mammal-protection","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2018-26418?publication_date=2018-12-06","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2018-12-06/2018-26418/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":805,"last_updated":"2026-10-24 10:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-12-06/pdf/2018-26418.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2018-26418.pdf?1543878020","publication_date":"2018-12-06","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2018/12/06/2018-26418.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0648-XG61":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0648-XG61"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2018-12-26T11:00:24Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":62842,"subtype":null,"title":"Implementation of Fish and Fish Product Import Provisions of the Marine Mammal Protection Act-Notification of Comparability Findings","toc_doc":"Implementation of Fish and Fish Product Import Provisions of the Marine Mammal Protection ActNotification of Comparability Findings","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":83}
