Abstract
NMFS published its Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA) final List of Fisheries (LOF) for 1996 on December 28, 1995. In that rule, the effective period for the 1995 LOF was extended until March 1, 1996. The recent government shutdown delayed NMFS from mailing out registration packets to commercial fishers for the Marine Mammal Authorization Program. Therefore, NMFS is delaying the effective date of the 1996 final LOF from March 1, 1996 to April 1, 1996.
