In addition to the requirement to
include shrimp and abalone species under the Seafood Traceability
Program, Section 539 of the 2018 Appropriations Act directed the
Secretary of Commerce to “…establish a traceability program for
United States inland, coastal, and marine aquaculture of shrimp and
abalone…” and by December 31, 2018 to “…promulgate such regulations
as are necessary and appropriate to establish and implement the
program.” This proposed rulemaking would establish registration,
reporting and recordkeeping requirements for domestic, commercial
aquaculture producers of shrimp and abalone species and products
containing those species from the point of production to entry into
U.S. commerce. A producer, , i.e., the the owner or operator of an
aquaculture facility that produces shrimp or abalone for human
consumption, is responsible for the registration, reporting and
recordkeeping requirements of this Program. The proposed
Traceability Information Program for Seafood consists of three
requirements of producers of shrimp and abalone for consumption as
food: (1) registration; (2) monthly reporting of production events;
and (3) recordkeeping requirements with respect to both production
events and chain of custody information to the point of entry into
U.S. commerce via sale or non-sale transaction (including transfers
between components of a vertically-integrated enterprise). This
proposed rule , RIN 0648-BH87, is published under the authority of
the 2018 Appropriations Act and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
