Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico;

Amendment 14

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: NMFS issues this final rule to

implement Amendment 14 to the

Fishery Management Plan for the Reef

Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico

(FMP). This final rule prohibits the use

or possession of fish traps in the

exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the

Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) beginning

February 8, 2007; prohibits the use or

possession of fish traps west of 85°30′

W. long.; modifies the procedure for

retrieval of fish traps when a breakdown

prevents a vessel with a trap

endorsement from retrieving its traps;

modifies the restrictions on transfer of

fish trap endorsements and reef fish

permits; prohibits the harvest or

possession of Nassau grouper in or from

the EEZ of the Gulf; and clarifies the

authority of the Regional Administrator,

Southeast Region, NMFS (RA), to

reopen a prematurely closed fishery. In

addition, NMFS extends the current

prohibition on the possession of

dynamite on board a permitted vessel to

those vessels permitted in the South

Atlantic golden crab fishery. The

intended effects of this rule are to

conserve and manage the reef fish

resources of the Gulf and enhance

enforceability of the regulations. This

rule also informs the public of the

approval by the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) of a new collectionof-information requirement contained in

this rule.

EFFECTIVE DATES: April 24, 1997, except

that the amendments to § 622.4 are

effective March 25, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The reef

fish fishery of the Gulf of Mexico is

managed under the FMP. The FMP was

prepared by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery

Management Council (Council) and is

implemented through regulations at 50

CFR part 622 under the authority of the

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

Conservation and Management Act

(Magnuson-Stevens Act).

The Council developed Amendment

14 to address various problems in the

reef fish fishery, primarily those

associated with the fish trap fishery and

the expiration of a moratorium on the

issuance of additional fish trap

endorsements to reef fish permits on

February 7, 1997. The rationale for the

management measures in Amendment

14, and the additional regulatory

changes proposed by NMFS, are

contained in the preamble of the

proposed rule (61 FR 59852, November
