Importation Permits…
Importation Permits:
Changes to 15A NCAC 03I .0104 require the sizes and quantities of species to be included in the disease-free certificate for a “Permit to Introduce, Transfer, or Hold Imported Marine and Estuarine Organisms”, not just the type of species. These changes help provide better protection of the resources.
Other rule changes are minor in that they codify regulations already in effect by proclamation or law, or correct grammar and punctuation, update agency names, and make other minor technical changes.
