Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION

Division:

Marine Fisheries

Chapter:

MARINE LIFE

Overview

RULE:

68B-42.0065

Commercial Requirements; Endorsements; Requalifying; Appeals; Leasing; Transferability

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rule amendment is to make the time frame in which endorsements may be transferred consistent among all of the Commission’s commercial transferable endorsement programs. The endorsement programs that contain transferable endorsements are in the blue crab, spiny lobster, ballyhoo, marine life and stone crab fisheries. The proposed time period would be aligned with the current time period in the Commission’s Blue Crab Rule, which is May 1 through the end of February. These proposed draft rules would increase the time a commercial fisher has to transfer their endorsement each year and would simplify the transfer process by aligning the rules governing the transfer process for all of these fisheries.

SUMMARY:

Rule 68B-42.0065, F.A.C. (Commercial Requirements; Endorsements; Requalifying; Appeals; Leasing; Transferability) would be amended by modifying the transfer window in which a marine life endorsement may be transferred, from September 1 through November 30, to May 1 through the end of February each year.
