Dear friends,

Special Agent in Charge Logan Gregory of NOAA Office of Law Enforcement's Northeast Division would like to invite you to participate in a conference call Tuesday, Dec. 13, to outline NOAA's Draft Enforcement Priorities, which are open for public comment through January 9. The draft priorities document identifies the national priorities for Fiscal Year 2012 and gives examples of regional priorities that support those national priorities. The document -- as well as guidelines for commenting by the deadline via email, fax and mail -- can be found at here .

NOAA's Draft Enforcement Priorities reflect extensive input and guidance from those of you who submitted comments last year as we began the process of identifying our national priorities. Regional priorities vary with the specific resources, activities, and threats across the country. What may be a high priority in one region may not be a priority in another. Equally, fish stocks, fishing gear, and management programs are not identical across the country. Thus, NOAA Office of Law Enforcement must tailor our priorities appropriately.

We look forward to your participation in this conference call specifically for the Northeast Division. Call-in information is below. Should you have any questions, please contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or 301-427-2300.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011
2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
