## SEC. 302 PROHIBITION APPLICABLE TO UNITED STATES VESSELS AND NATIONALS **[**[16 U.S.C. 1823 note](/us/usc/t16/s1823)**]** ###

(a)Prohibition Vessels and nationals of the United States are prohibited from conducting fishing operations in the Central Bering Sea and the Central Sea of Okhotsk, except where such fishing operations are conducted in accordance with an international fishery agreement to which the United States and the Russian Federation are parties. ###

(b)Civil Penalties and Permit Sanctions A violation of this section shall be subject to civil penalties and permit sanctions under section 308 of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act5 (16 U.S.C. 1858). 5So in law. Section 211 of the Department of Commerce and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1997 (as contained in section 101(a), title I of Division A of Public Law 104–208; 110 Stat. 3009–41) provides: Sec. 211.

(a)Effective 15 days after the enactment of the Sustainable Fisheries Act, section 1 of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801) shall be amended to read as follows: “That this Act may be cited as the ‘Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act’.”

(b)Effective 15 days after the enactment of the Sustainable Fisheries Act, all references to the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act shall be redesignated as references to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Since such section did not actually amend each occurrence of the short title in law, the former short title appears here.
