FF-7-2006 RE: TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF RULE – RIVER HERRING Preston P. Pate, Jr., Director, Division of Marine Fisheries, hereby announces that effective at 12:01A.M., Sunday, February 5, 2006, the following shall apply to North Carolina Fisheries Rules for North Carolina Waters: 1. North Carolina Fisheries Rules for Coastal Waters 15A NCAC 3M .0513 is modified by the suspension of the wording in (b) in its entirety. 2. North Carolina Fisheries Rules for Coastal Waters 15A NCAC 3M .0513 is also modified by the suspension of the wording in (d) in its entirety. GENERAL INFORMATION: This proclamation is issued under the authority of N.C.G.S. 113-170.4; 113-170.5; 113-182; 113-183; 113-221.1; 143B-289.52 and N.C. Marine Fisheries Rules 15A NCAC 3H .0103, 3I .0102 and 3M .0513. It is unlawful to violate the provisions of any proclamation issued by the Fisheries Director under his delegated authority pursuant to N.C. Marine Fisheries Rule 15A NCAC 3H .0103. C. This action temporarily suspends Marine Fisheries Rule 15A NCAC 3M .0513 (b) and (d). All other provisions of this rule remain in effect. Variable conditions are that the Marine Fisheries Commission has implemented interim measures as a result of the River Herring and Alewife Fishery Management Plan that differ from those in the present rule. This temporary suspension is necessary to implement those more restrictive harvest measures. The Director will implement commercial and recreational harvest limits in a subsequent proclamation issued under his authority pursuant to 15A NCAC .0513 (a).
