emergency action (EA)

A fishery management council (FMC) may decide to propose an EA when a problem arises in a fishery that requires regulations sooner than a fishery management plan amendment can be proposed and implemented. Once implemented, an EA lasts for 90 days but can be extended by the Secretary of Commerce at the council's request.
