## Abstract

Several sections of the regulations governing the fisheries of the northeastern United States contain minor inadvertent errors, omissions, and ambiguities. This rule revises the portions of the Northeast (NE) fishery regulations that relate to the Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and prohibitions, standardizes the VMS vendor requirements, and adds prohibitions and other regulations to clarify existing policies and requirements.
