Abstract
This rule provides a mechanism to correct permit errors for a limited time after permit issuance for all Atlantic Tunas and Atlantic HMS permit holders, excluding Atlantic Tunas longline and Purse seine category permits. This mechanism is meant to provide relief for those vessel operators who were issued permits incorrectly due to confusion resulting from the establishment of the new HMS Angling category, unfamiliarity with the automated permit system, or possible administrative error.
