Abstract
NMFS issues this notification to announce that the summer flounder commercial quota available to the State of Rhode Island has been harvested. Vessels issued a commercial Federal fisheries permit for the summer flounder fishery may not land summer flounder in Rhode Island for the remainder of calendar year 1996, unless additional quota becomes available through a transfer. Regulations governing the summer flounder fishery require publication of this notice to advise the State of Rhode Island that the quota has been harvested and to advise vessel and dealer permit holders that no commercial quota is available for landing summer flounder in Rhode Island.
