Comment from Brandon Albarado

Simplifying the process while staying within the regulations is always more excepted than being more stengent. We are to look at things full spectrum when making decisions on the correct application to rule making. The question becomes will this benefit the people, the NOAA, the upholding of species protection, etc.? The listed below i fell address all the above. Continue in making decisions that enspire generational acceptance for the protection of what the Lord has given to us freely to take care of. •Eliminate the restriction requiring the Certificate of Inspection when transferring for-hire permits. •Simplify the requirements to renew or transfer a Gulf for-hire permit. •Maintain the cap on fishing effort from the for-hire sector. •Allow for-hire vessels to carry more passengers for non-fishing activities if their Certificate of Inspection is greater than the passenger capacity on their Gulf for-hire permit.
