Description:
"This action eliminates the one-time limit on vessel upgrades and removes gross and net tonnages from the vessel baseline specifications that are considered when determining a vessel's baseline for replacement purposes. Implementing these measures reduces the administrative burden to permit holders and NMFS. This action has little effect on fleet capacity, and, therefore, no impacts to the environment are expected as a result of this action"--Cover letter summary.
