Abstract
NMFS announces that volunteer participants selected by NMFS to participate in the swordfish pilot program are not required to observe the off-loading time requirement when carrying an observer. The observer will be collecting statistical data that would otherwise be collected by dockside samplers within the off-loading time requirement. Therefore, NMFS has determined that the off-loading requirements of the regulations are unnecessary during 1995.
