License and Permit Suspensions and Revocations…
License and Permit Suspensions and Revocations:
Changes to 15A NCAC 03P .0101 provide the ability for a statement about license suspension and revocation to be sent to the Division of Marine Fisheries by electronic mail, not just via U.S. mail. Subsequent changes shorten the time period from 15 days to 10 days to reflect the flexibility electronic mail provides and to ensure timely protection of the resources under the authority of the Marine Fisheries Commission. For the protection of endangered or threatened species or a species managed by a quota, the time period is further shortened to five days, consistent with the severity of a possible violation leading to permit or license suspension or revocation.
