Description:"The actions analyzed in this environmental assessment eliminate the earned income qualification requirement for the renewal of Gulf of Mexico commercial reef fish permits and increase the maximum number of crew members for dual-permitted vessels. The existing eqrned income requirement in the reef fish fishery has been determined to no longer be necessary. The regulation pertaining to the maximum number of crew stipulates that dual-permitted vessels without a certificate of inspection are limited to a three-person crew when fishing commercially. The increase to four crew members would most directly benefit commercial spear fishermen. This would allow two persons to remain aboard while there are two divers in the water, thereby increasing the safety of commercial diving operations. The environmental assessment analyzes the impacts of these actions. By itself, this amendment is not controversial because the proposed actions would allow more flexibility for the reef fish fishery"--Cover letter.
