It covers fiscal year 1969- Information presented is intended to provide State program coordinators and administrators, Federal people, project personnel, and others concerned with research, development, conservation, and management of our commercial fishery resources with a convenient reference to the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries grant-in-aid program. This publication will facilitate planning, coordination, and integration of State, Federal, and other activities concerned with the commercial fishery resources. THE ACTS The Bureau's Federal Aid Program is authorized under three Acts. 1. The Commercial Fisheries Research and Development Act. of 196^ (P.L. 88-309) - Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to cooperate with the 50 States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Governments of the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa in carrying out research and development of the Nation's commercial fisheries. Projects eligible for funding include research, development, construction, and coordination. Cost- sharing projects are funded at either a 50 percent or 75 percent level of Federal participation, whereas projects to alleviate resource disaster and for establishment of new commercial fisheries may be financed with 100 percent Federfil funds. State-matching funds must be new monies not previously used for other commercial fishery research and development. This Act would have expired June 30, 1969; however, it is extended by the 90th Congress for an additional I, years under Public Law 90-551. 2. The Anadromous Fish Act of 1965 (P. L. 89-30-4) - Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to enter into cooperative agreement with States and other non-Federal interests for the conservation, development and enhancement of the anadromous fishery resources of the Nation and the fish in the Great Lakes that ascend streams to spawn. The program is administered at the Federal level jointly by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. Federal funds up to 50 percent may be used to finance project costs. State fishery agencies, colleges, xmiversities, priviate companies and other non-Federal interests in 31 States bordering the oceans and the Great Lakes may participate under the Act. All projects must be approved by the State fishery agency concerned. 3. The Jellyfish Act of 1966 (P. L. 89-720) - Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to cooperate with and provide assistance to the States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in controlling and eliminating jellyfish and other such pests in such coastal waters. The costs of projects are funded equally by the Federal Government and by the State. State agencies responsible for the management or administration of fish and shellfish resources or water-based recreation programs may participate under the Act. DISTRIBUTION OF FEDERAL FUNDS Allocation of funds, excluding A{b) monies under the Commercial Fisheries Research and Devel- opment Act, to States and other non-Federal interests by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries under the Federal Aid Program in fiscal year 1969 with cumulative total under each Public Law since enactment of the legislation is listed in the following table.

Crance $45,000 Restoration of Alabama's supply of seed oysters - To restore and establish a new source of seed oysters for Mobile Bay, about 125 acres of selected bottom in Mississippi Sound will be planted with 500,000 cubic feet of shell. The areas selected are least affected by the hazards of seed production. State biologists will determine the area and rates of planting, and will evaluate the results of this effort. Connecticut 3-51-D Ernest Bontya Completed 1967 Disaster relief - Connecticut oyster fishery - Fifteen spawning beds in selected locations of Long Island Sound were prepared.
