20 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 1 / Tuesday, January 2, 1996 / Rules and Regulations

board a valid commercial reef fish

permit may not possess on any trip or

land in any day red snapper in excess

of 200 lb (91 kg), whole or eviscerated.

(b) A vessel that has on board a valid

commercial reef fish permit and a valid

red snapper endorsement may not

possess on any trip or land in any day

red snapper in excess of 2,000 lb (907

kg), whole or eviscerated.

(c) A red snapper may not be

transferred at sea from one vessel to

another.

(d) No person may purchase, barter,

trade, or sell, or attempt to purchase,

barter, trade, or sell, a red snapper

possessed or landed in excess of the trip

or landing limits specified in paragraphs

(a) and (b) of this section.

§ 641.33 Red snapper endorsement.

(a) As a prerequisite for exemption

from the trip limit for red snapper

specified in § 641.32(a), a vessel for

which a commercial reef fish permit has

been issued under § 641.4 must have a

red snapper endorsement on such

permit and such permit and

endorsement must be aboard the vessel.

(b) A red snapper endorsement is

invalid upon sale of the vessel;

however, an owner of a vessel with a

commercial reef fish permit may

transfer the red snapper endorsement to

another vessel with a commercial reef

fish permit owned by the same entity by

returning the existing endorsement with

an application for an endorsement for

the replacement vessel.

(c) The provisions of paragraph (b) of

this section notwithstanding, special

provisions apply in the event of the

disability or death of the owner of a

vessel with a red snapper endorsement

or the disability or death of an operator

whose presence on board the vessel is

a condition for the validity of a red

snapper endorsement.

(1) In the event that a vessel with a

red snapper endorsement has a change

of ownership that is directly related to

the disability or death of the owner, the

Regional Director may issue a red

snapper endorsement, temporarily or

permanently, with the commercial reef

fish permit that is issued for the vessel

under the new owner. Such new owner

will be the person specified by the

owner or his/her legal guardian, in the

case of a disabled owner, or by the will

or executor/administrator of the estate,

in the case of a deceased owner.

(Change of ownership of a vessel with

a commercial reef fish permit upon

disability or death of an owner is

considered a purchase of a permitted

vessel and § 641.4(m)(3) applies

regarding a commercial reef fish permit

for the vessel under the new owner.)

(2) In the event of the disability or

death of an operator whose presence

aboard a vessel is a condition for the

validity of a red snapper endorsement,

the Regional Director may revise and

reissue an endorsement, temporarily or

permanently, to the permitted vessel.

Such revised endorsement will contain

the name of a substitute operator

specified by the operator or his/her legal

guardian, in the case of a disabled

operator, or by the will or executor/

administrator of the estate, in the case

of a deceased operator. As was the case

with the replaced endorsement, the

presence of the substitute operator

aboard and in charge of the vessel is a

condition for the validity of the revised

endorsement. Such revised endorsement

will be reissued only with the

concurrence of the vessel owner.

§ 641.34 Condition of a permit.

As a condition of a commercial reef

fish permit issued under § 641.4,

without regard to where red snapper are

harvested or possessed, a vessel with

such permit—

(a) May not exceed the appropriate

vessel trip or landing limit for red

snapper, as specified in § 641.32(a) and

(b); and

(b) May not transfer a red snapper at

sea, as specified in § 641.32(c).
