  • 15.0 Appendices
    15.0 APPENDICES 15.1 APPENDIX A: STATE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS States have varying requirements for summer flounder permits, as summarized below (information as of April 2017). Massachusetts All persons who land and sell finfish in Massachusetts must have a commercial fishing permit from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (MADMF) and must sell only to permitted Massachusetts dealers. A limited entry summer flounder (fluke) permit endorsement, in addition to a Massachusetts commercial fishing permit, is required for any individual and/or vessel to commercially fish for summer flounder within the state waters of Massachusetts, or to harvest, process, or land any summer flounder for commercial purposes in Massachusetts. This endorsement is limited entry due to a moratorium on new fluke endorsements instated in 1999 to address a substantial increase in participation and landings. The fluke endorsement must be renewed annually. MADMF policy has largely been against transfer of summer flounder endorsements, in order to maintain the moratorium’s effectiveness in reducing the total number of endorsements. However, MADMF allows endorsement transfers between immediate family members (provided they meet the existing eligibility criteria) on a one-time basis, after which the endorsement becomes non- transferable. In addition, inshore trawl fishermen who sell their businesses (i.e., vessels, permits, etc.) may transfer a summer flounder endorsement if the other permits are active as inshore trawling could result in excessive summer flounder discards otherwise. For the offshore fishery, transfer of the summer flounder endorsement to the new permit holder is allowed when vessels and federal permits are sold. Rhode Island A Rhode Island (RI) commercial fishing license with a restricted finfish endorsement is required to take summer flounder for commercial purposes from Rhode Island waters.

  • March 9, 2021 by ELECTRONIC MAIL
    National Air Carrier Association 1735 North Lynn Street, Suite 105 Arlington, VA 22209 T: +1.703.358.8060 March 9, 2021 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL The Honorable Steven M. Dickson Administrator Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20591 Dear Administrator Dickson, Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Air Carrier Association (NACA) and its member carriers1 have worked closely with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) staff on various operational challenges. One of the more unique issues related to the pandemic has been an increase in disruptive passengers and crewmember assaults, often resulting from disputes associated with mask requirements. In mid-January, in the wake of the insurrection at the United States Capitol Building, the FAA instituted a Special Enforcement Emphasis Program (SEEP) designed to provide a “zero-tolerance”, maximum penalty, for passengers who have caused significant disruptions in-flight, or committed a physical assault against a member of a flight crew while onboard an aircraft. This program is scheduled to end on March 30, 2021. Many in the airline industry thought the SEEP would bring a significant reduction in disruptive passenger incidents. However, since the SEEP’s inception, our Ultra Low- Cost Carriers (ULCCs) 2 have seen little to no decline in the number of daily disruptive passenger incidents. Sufficient time has not been provided for the impact of the program to be known to the traveling public. Without an understanding of the significant penalties associated with the SEEP, passenger behavior has not been altered by the program’s implementation and the risk to the crew has not been mitigated.

A large portion of the airplanes that will be accomplished when we worked with competent operating in 2007 have already been built, and aviation authorities--pilot unions, airlines, most of the rest have already been designed.

  • INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on AIR LAW (Montréal, 20 April to 2
    DCCD Doc No. 28 28/4/09 (English only) INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AIR LAW (Montréal, 20 April to 2 May 2009) CONVENTION ON COMPENSATION FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY AIRCRAFT TO THIRD PARTIES AND CONVENTION ON COMPENSATION FOR DAMAGE TO THIRD PARTIES, RESULTING FROM ACTS OF UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE INVOLVING AIRCRAFT (Presented by the Air Crash Victims Families Group) 1. INTRODUCTION – SUPPLEMENTAL AND OTHER COMPENSATIONS 1.1 The apocalyptic terrorist attack by the means of four hi-jacked planes committed against the World Trade Center in New York, NY , the Pentagon in Arlington, VA and the aborted flight ending in a crash in the rural area in Shankville, PA ON September 11th, 2001 is the only real time example that triggered this proposed Convention on Compensation for Damage to Third Parties from Acts of Unlawful Interference Involving Aircraft. 1.2 It is therefore important to look towards the post incident resolution of this tragedy in order to adequately and pro actively complete ONE new General Risk Convention (including compensation for ALL catastrophic damages) for the twenty first century. 2. DISCUSSION 2.1 Immediately after September 11th, 2001 – the Government and Congress met with all affected and interested parties resulting in the “Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act” (Public Law 107-42-Sept. 22,2001). 2.2 This Law provided the basis for Rules and Regulations for: a) Airline Stabilization; b) Aviation Insurance; c) Tax Provisions; d) Victims Compensation; and e) Air Transportation Safety. DCCD Doc No. 28 - 2 - 2.3 The Airline Stabilization Act created the legislative vehicle needed to reimburse the air transport industry for their losses of income as a result of the flight interruption due to the 911 attack.

  • TWA's Lockheed Constellation Makes Trip To
    www.MetroAirportNews.com Serving the Airport Workforce and Local Communities November 2018 INSIDE THIS ISSUE TWA’s Lockheed Constellation Makes Trip to JFK Airport – On I-95 A vintage commercial airplane embarked on a long, slow journey from Maine to New York where it will be turned into a cocktail lounge. The long trip of the Lockheed Constellation, known as the “Connie,” kicked off Monday, Oc- Tyler Moss, TWA Hotel CEO went to Maine to supervise the reinstallation of the Connie 04 tober 7th at a send-off event Auburn-Lewiston Airport in Maine. The plane then departed JFK To Get Two New Terminals Tuesday morning and make its way over the next several days to New York on a tow truck. Decorated in authentic TWA livery, our Connie — whose fleet once served as Air Force One for President Dwight D. Eisenhower and broke the record for fastest nonstop trip from Burbank to New York with former TWA owner Howard Hughes at the helm in 1946 — deserves a victory lap before welcoming hotel guests into her cockpit. So, as with all things related to the TWA Hotel project, we looked to TWA’s rich history for inspiration. 15 Continued on page 3 JetBlue Teams Up With the Brooklyn Nets for Its Newest Special Livery EWR Celebrates Past, Present and Future With Ceremonial Groundbreaking Newark Airport which opened on October 1, 1928, was known as the first major airport in the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area.
