Fishery Conservation Amendments of 1990

Summary

Amends provisions of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson Act) relating to determination of the total allowable level of foreign fishing in a fishery subject to the exclusive fishery management authority of the United States to remove references to involvement in that determination of fishery management councils and the Secretary of State. Requires that candidates for Regional Fishery Management Council voting membership seats reserved for a particular State be appointed only from a list submitted by the Governor of that State. (Current law allows appointment to reserved seats from a list submitted by the Governor of each applicable constituent State.) Allows staff members of the Council to be reimbursed for expenses. Revises procedures in connection with closed meetings of Councils or the scientific and statistical committees or advisory panels of Councils. Adds to the list of prohibited acts forcibly assaulting, resisting, intimidating, or taking other similar actions with regard to any observer on board a vessel under the Magnuson Act. Increases the maximum civil monetary penalty for violation. Includes such actions against an observer in the list of criminal offenses and increases the maximum monetary penalties for criminal offenses. Authorizes the Secretary of Commerce or the Secretary of the Treasury, notwithstanding any other law, from sums received as fines, penalties, or forfeitures of property for violations of any provision of the Magnuson Act, to pay: (1) claims of parties in interest to property disposed of under provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930 relating to seizure and summary sale; and (2) reimbursement to any Federal or State agency for services performed or personnel, equipment, or facilities utilized for enforcement under specified provisions of the Magnuson Act. Authorizes appropriations to carry out the Magnuson Act for FY 1990 through 1992.
