Abstract: Participants in the marine fishing
industry, including vessel owners, vessel operators, and fish
dealers, who wish to participate in regulated Northeast Regional
fisheries must apply for, and obtain, permits. Persons obtaining
permits may also be subject to notification, tagging, and other
requirements. This request is to give vessel owners an option to
receive one letter per owner, rather than one per vessel, when NMFS
sends out permit-related correspondence.
