One newly amended marine fisheries rule will go into effect July
1. The change clarifies definitions and formalizes procedures for transferring
ownership or subleasing of a shellfish lease.
As amended, 15A NCAC 03O .0209 (Assignment of Shellfish Leases and Franchises)
defines a transfer as a permanent assignment of a shellfish lease or franchise,
and it defines a sublease as a temporary assignment.
Other changes to the rule clarify the required information that must be
submitted to the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries to provide notice of a
change in assignment.
The remaining changes to the rule are minor in nature to make word usage
consistent across all rules. The rule was amended and readopted in accordance with a
state-mandated periodic review schedule.
Complete text of the rule can be found in the July 1, 2022
