Abstract
This emergency interim rule provides an additional opportunity to obtain snapper-grouper limited access permits for those vessel owners who were previously determined by NMFS to be eligible for such permits but did not submit an application by the application deadline, on or before October 14, 1998, provided they have not violated the permit requirement in the interim. This rule is intended to avoid adverse social and economic impacts on the affected individuals.
