Abstract: Under this rule, 0648-BH-19, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is modifying the commercial sale provision of the charter/headboat permit so that vessel operators that fish only recreationally are not subject to USCG commercial safety requirements. Specifically, the rule creates a “commercial sale” endorsement to the Charter/Headboat permit that can be added to the permit if a vessel operator wants to fish commercially in addition to taking passengers for hire. Only Charter/Headboat permit holders with the commercial sale endorsement would be subject to USCG commercial fishing vessel safety requirements; all other Charter/Headboat permit holders would be considered recreational and could not sell their Atlantic HMS.
