Purpose and Reason:

Technical Revision regarding harvest of horseshoe crabs. Regulations filed as a result of public hearing held November 14, 2016 were inaccurate in one instance involving compliance requirements for the return of horseshoe crabs bled in the bio-medical industry. The Director decision based on recommendation from RIMFR placed compliance on dealers and not harvesters; regulations currently maintain compliance with the harvester. This was an oversight when filing the regulations
