Abstract

This Subpart of the International Fisheries Regulations implements internationally-adopted measures pertaining to foreign vessels determined to have engaged in illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and placed on IUU vessel lists of the following regional fishery management organizations (RFMOs): (1) International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), (2) Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), (3) Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO), (4) Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), (5) Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), and (6) Parties to the Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Program (AIDCP). The Assistant Administrator may, in accordance with applicable provisions of RFMO conservation and management measures, deny a foreign, listed IUU vessel entry to any port or place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, except in cases of force majeure. If such vessel is allowed to enter a U.S. port, the Assistant Administrator may, in accordance with applicable provisions of RFMO conservation and management measures: (a) Inspect the vessel; (b) Deny the vessel access to port services, including but not limited to refueling, resupplying, or disembarking or embarking of crew; or (c) Prohibit the vessel from engaging in commercial transactions including, but not limited to, transshipping or landing product. It is unlawful for any person, without prior authorization from the Assistant Administrator, to engage in commercial transactions with listed IUU vessels.
