On the recordSeptember 19, 1996
Section 105(e) of the manager's amendment directs the Secretary of Commerce to provide transshipment permits for up to 14 Canadian vessels for the purposes of transporting Atlantic herring caught off the coast of Maine in the sardine processing trade. I would like to ask the Senators whether the manager's amendment would also require this herring transshipment practice to be consistent with any applicable regulations, including fishery allocations, approved by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission. The ASMFC has management authority for Atlantic herring.
