Common use of Permit amendments Clause in Contracts

Permit amendments. (1) The Assist- ant Administrator may amend a per- mit by adding ‘‘additional restrictions’’ for the conservation and management of fishery resources covered by the per- mit, or for the national defense or se- curity if the Assistant Administrator determines that such interests would be significantly impaired without such restrictions. Compliance with the added additional restrictions is a con- dition of the permit. Violations of added additional restrictions will be treated as violations of this subpart. (2) The Assistant Administrator may make proposed additional restrictions effective immediately, if necessary, to prevent substantial harm to a fishery resource of the United States, to allow for the continuation of ongoing fishing operations, or to allow for fishing to begin at the normal time for opening of the fishery. (3) The Assistant Administrator will send proposed additional restrictions to each Nation whose vessels are af- fected (via the Secretary of State), to the appropriate Councils, and to the Commandant of the Coast Guard. NMFS will, at the same time, publish a document of any significant proposed additional restrictions in the FEDERAL REGISTER. The document will include a summary of the reasons underlying the proposal, and the reasons that any pro- posed additional restrictions are made effective immediately.
