## Abstract

NMFS publishes this final rule to reorganize, by redesignation, its fishing capacity reduction program (FCRP) regulations and FCRP fee system regulations. To accomplish this, it is also necessary to redesignate regulatory provisions implementing the Shark Finning Prohibition Act (Act). The redesignation involves changing subparts, renumbering regulatory provisions, and revising regulatory references. The substantive provisions are not changed in any way; only the old Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) unit numbers are redesignated with new CFR unit numbers. Also, one subpart title and one section title are modified. Several sections are reserved to ensure a logical organization. The intent of this rule is to improve understanding and ease of use of FCRP regulations, and to make additional sequential section numbers available for future FCRP regulations.
