Plain English Summary

6/10 complexity

These regulations amend the treaty-implementing rules governing US fishing vessels in Pacific waters. They require licences for fishing in the treaty’s Licensing Area, forbid fishing in waters designated closed under Annex I, but exempt trolling for albacore and longlining on the high seas.

They also redraw closed-water coverage: Papua New Guinea’s internal, archipelagic and territorial seas are closed, while the Solomon Islands’ internal, archipelagic and territorial seas plus EEZ waters west of 163°E are closed. Several old Schedule 3 paragraphs are deleted.
