Purpose and Reason:
The purpose of this filing is to keep the commecrial possession limit for the commercial black sea bass fishery at 400 pounds per vessel per calendar day superseding ERLID # 5985 filied on February 9, 2010 to be effective on 12:01 AM February 12, 2010. This action to keep the fishery open is being taken after receiving notification from NMFS announcing a revision, in the way of an increase, to the 2010 coastwide commercial quota whereby increasing the state quota and negating the need to close the commercial fishery at this time.
