Description:This action would modify the regulatory process of scheduling restricted-fishing days (RFDs). As part of this modification, this action may codify and set the schedule of RFDs for the 2024 fishing year and subsequent fishing years. This action also would establish a General category default daily retention limit for large medium or giant bluefin tuna (BFT) on open days. Finally, this action would clarify the BFT dealer regulations and the definition of a BSD tag to address dealer and dealer agent activities on RFDs. This action is being taken pursuant to the rulemaking authority under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, 16 U.S.C. §§ 1801 et seq., and consistent with the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act, id. §§ 971 et seq.
