Add to said compact a new Article to be entitled, and to read, as follows:

Article XIII

The States consenting to this supplemental compact agree that any two or more of them may designate the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission as a joint regulatory agency with such powers as they may jointly confer from time to time for the regulation of the fishing operations of the citizens and the vessels of such designating States with respect to specific fisheries in which such States have a common interest. The representatives of such States on the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission shall constitute a separate section of such commission for the exercise of the additional powers so granted; provided, that the States so acting shall appropriate additional funds for this purpose.

The creation of such section as a joint regulatory agency shall not deprive the States participating therein of any of their previous own powers or responsibilities in the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission under the general compact.
