Abstract: Under provisions of Section 305(a)3 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1855 et. seq.) as amended in 2006, the Secretary of Commerce is required to publish a list of all fisheries under the authority of each Fishery Management Council and of all fishing gear to be used in such fisheries. Any person wishing to use gear not on the list, or engage in a fishery not on the list, must provide the appropriate Fishery Management Council (or in some cases the Secretary) with a 90 days' advance written notice. If the Secretary takes no action to prohibit such a fishery or use of such gear, the person may proceed.
