Information About the Maryland Register and COMAR
MARYLAND REGISTER
The Maryland Register is an official State publication published every
other week throughout the year. A cumulative index is published quarterly.
The Maryland Register is the temporary
supplement to the Code of Maryland Regulations. Any change to the text of
regulations published in COMAR, whether by adoption, amendment, repeal, or
emergency action, must first be published in the Register.
The following information is also published regularly in the Register:
• Governor’s Executive Orders
• Attorney General’s Opinions in full text
• Open Meetings Compliance Board Opinions in full text
• State Ethics Commission Opinions in full text
• Court Rules
• District Court Administrative Memoranda
• Courts of Appeal Hearing Calendars
• Agency Hearing and Meeting Notices
• Synopses of Bills Introduced and Enacted
by the General Assembly
• Other documents considered to be in the public interest
CITATION TO THE
MARYLAND REGISTER
The Maryland Register is cited by volume, issue, page number, and date.
Example:
• 19:8 Md. R. 815—817 (April 17,
1992) refers to Volume 19, Issue 8, pages 815—817 of the Maryland Register
issued on April 17, 1992.
CODE OF MARYLAND
REGULATIONS (COMAR)
COMAR is the official compilation of all regulations issued by agencies
of the State of Maryland. The Maryland Register is COMAR’s temporary
supplement, printing all changes to regulations as soon as they occur. At least
once annually, the changes to regulations printed in the Maryland Register are
incorporated into COMAR by means of permanent supplements.
CITATION TO COMAR
REGULATIONS
COMAR regulations are cited by title number, subtitle number, chapter
number, and regulation number. Example: COMAR 10.08.01.03 refers to Title 10,
Subtitle 08, Chapter 01, Regulation 03.
DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED
BY REFERENCE
Incorporation by reference is a legal device by which a document is made
part of COMAR simply by referring to it. While the text of an incorporated
document does not appear in COMAR, the provisions of the incorporated document
are as fully enforceable as any other COMAR regulation. Each regulation that
proposes to incorporate a document is identified in the Maryland Register by an
Editor’s Note. The Cumulative Table of COMAR Regulations Adopted, Amended or
Repealed, found online, also identifies each regulation incorporating a
document. Documents incorporated by reference are available for inspection in
various depository libraries located throughout the State and at the Division
of State Documents. These depositories are listed in the first issue of the
Maryland Register published each year. For further information, call
410-974-2486.
HOW TO RESEARCH REGULATIONS
An
Administrative History at the end of every COMAR chapter gives information
about past changes to regulations. To determine if there have been any
subsequent changes, check the ‘‘Cumulative Table of COMAR Regulations Adopted,
Amended, or Repealed’’ which is found online at http://www.dsd.state.md.us/PDF/CumulativeTable.pdf.
This table lists the regulations in numerical order, by their COMAR number,
followed by the citation to the Maryland Register in which the change occurred.
The Maryland Register serves as a temporary supplement to COMAR, and the two
publications must always be used together. A Research Guide for Maryland
Regulations is available. For further information, call 410-260-3876.

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN
THE REGULATION-MAKING PROCESS
Maryland citizens and other interested
persons may participate in the process by which administrative regulations are
adopted, amended, or repealed, and may also initiate the process by which the
validity and applicability of regulations is determined. Listed below are some
of the ways in which citizens may participate (references are to State
Government Article (SG),
Annotated
Code of Maryland):
• By submitting data or views on proposed
regulations either orally or in writing, to the proposing agency (see
‘‘Opportunity for Public Comment’’ at the beginning of all regulations
appearing in the Proposed Action on Regulations section of the Maryland
Register). (See SG, §10-112)
• By petitioning an agency to adopt, amend,
or repeal regulations. The agency must respond to the petition. (See SG
§10-123)
• By petitioning an agency to issue a
declaratory ruling with respect to how any regulation, order, or statute
enforced by the agency applies. (SG, Title 10, Subtitle 3)
• By petitioning the circuit court for a
declaratory judgment
on
the validity of a regulation when it appears that the regulation interferes
with or impairs the legal rights or privileges of the petitioner. (SG, §10-125)
• By inspecting a certified copy of any
document filed with the Division of State Documents for publication in the
Maryland Register. (See SG, §7-213)

Proposed Action on Regulations
Title 08
DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Notice of Proposed Action
[24-040-P]
The Secretary of Natural Resources proposes to:
(1) Repeal Regulation .08 and amend Regulations .09 and .12 under COMAR 08.02.15 Striped Bass; and
(2) Amend Regulation .03 under COMAR 08.02.25 Gear.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to eliminate the recreational and charter boat spring season for striped bass, also known as the Trophy Season (May 1—May 15), eliminate the early season in the Susquehanna Flats, Susquehanna River, and Northeast River from the recreational and charter boat summer and fall striped bass fishery in the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries (May 16—May 31), prohibit the targeting of striped bass in the areas which are being closed by this action, extend gear requirements to the new time frames, and require that no more than two fillets per legal fish are possessed on board a charter boat where striped bass have been filleted. This action is necessary to reduce mortality on the striped bass spawning stock biomass. The bulk of this action was undertaken in an emergency action that is currently in effect.
Maryland typically has its greatest access to the striped bass
spawning stock during the spring spawning season; generally those fish
otherwise live in the Atlantic Ocean and migrate up and down the coast. This is
an especially sensitive period for spawning striped bass, which are dependent
on a number of environmental conditions to have a successful spawn. Due to
declines in the spawning stock biomass and poor recruitment of juvenile fish
over the last 5 years, actions have been taken both at the state level and at
the coastwide level to reduce
mortality on those fish. In Maryland, since 2020, the month of April has been
closed to the targeting of striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal
tributaries. This action will extend that “no targeting” closure throughout the
Chesapeake Bay to May 15. Additionally, the “early season” on the Susquehanna
Flats, Susquehanna River, and Northeast River, which traditionally ran from May
16 through May 31 and allowed for one fish between 19” and 26” to be kept, is being
eliminated. Anglers will also be prohibited from targeting striped bass in
those areas at those times. The Department believes that taking this action
will help to increase the spawning stock and enhance the odds of successful
spawning when environmental conditions are favorable.
In order to achieve the stated outcome, the Department is repealing Regulation .08 and amending Regulations .09 and .12. Regulation .08 is the Spring (Trophy) Season regulation. Because that season will be closed, the regulation is extraneous. The areas described as open in Regulation .08 are being added to Regulation .09 as areas which are open to fishing. The areas currently in Regulation .09 are described as “in addition to” the areas in Regulation .08, so combining all of them in Regulation .09 will clearly designate the areas in which people may fish for striped bass. The open area in the Susquehanna Flats, Susquehanna River, and Northeast River is being removed as that area is being closed. Regulation .12 is being amended to prohibit the targeting of striped bass throughout the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries from May 1 through and including May 15, and in the Susquehanna Flats, Susquehanna River, and Northeast River from May 16 through and including May 31. All waters of the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries will open on June 1. Due to the changes in these seasons, the prohibition on trolling which was already in place from April 1 through April 30 will be extended to May 15, as well as the requirement that J-style hooks used for bait have a gap of ½ inch or less.
Additionally, to maintain compliance with actions taken by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, the filleting provision in Regulation .12 is being amended to require legal striped bass to be cut into no more than two fillets per legal fish. This will aid in catch limit enforcement by making it obvious how many fish were retained and filleted. Previously, fillets could have been cut into pieces, making it harder to clearly account for the number of fillets present.
Estimate of Economic Impact
I. Summary of Economic Impact. The proposed action may have a short-term negative impact on charter operators and a long-term positive impact on all participants in the striped bass fishery. If the action discourages individuals from purchasing recreational fishing licenses, it may also have a short-term negative impact on the agency.

III. Assumptions. (Identified by Impact Letter and Number from Section II.)
A. This action may result in the short-term loss of license revenue for the Department. The spring (trophy) season is a popular time for individuals to fish for striped bass. Eliminating the trophy season throughout the Chesapeake Bay and the early season in the Susquehanna Flats, Susquehanna River, and Northeast River may result in some loss of revenue. However, many participants in these seasons are either on a charter boat (so are not required to purchase a recreational fishing license) or on a private boat that engages in fishing activities throughout the year, not just in the affected seasons. While the actual impact of this action on agency revenues is indeterminable, it is not likely to be significant.
D(1). There will likely be some negative impacts on the charter fleet in the Chesapeake Bay. Over the last 3 years, an average of 636 charter trips were taken in the Chesapeake Bay from May 1 through May 15. The majority of those trips were likely for striped bass, although some may have been for catfish, snakehead, perch, crappie, or other fish. It is likely that the majority of those trips, therefore, will not be taken in that time frame due to the prohibition on targeting striped bass, but it is not possible to know exactly how many trips will be lost due to this action. Additionally, there were an average of approximately 79 trips taken in the Upper Bay from May 16 through May 31 over the last 3 years. Some percentage of those trips will also not be taken due to the prohibition on targeting striped bass in the Susquehanna Flats, Susquehanna River, and Northeast River during that time period. Depending on the time of year and duration of the trip, charter captains usually charge between $600 and $1,000 per trip.
D(2). The Department anticipates a long-term positive impact for all participants in the striped bass fishery based on this action. Protecting the spawning stock will result in a long-term increase in the population of striped bass. That increase will provide more resilience to fishing pressure and potentially more opportunity for participants. It is not possible to know the nature of those opportunities and how they will ultimately benefit participants, but charter captains, recreational anglers, and commercial harvesters all will ultimately benefit from a properly managed, healthy spawning stock of striped bass.
E. Bait and tackle shops and marinas may experience minor negative impacts due to the closing of the spring season throughout the previously open area and the additional closing of the Susquehanna Flats, Susquehanna River, and Northeast River in the early summer season. It is not exactly known to what extent these closures will affect these businesses during these time periods, but it is likely to have some negative impact. With regards to the early summer closure in the Upper Bay, those impacts would be felt more locally in the Upper Bay region; the impacts felt by the spring closure are more likely to be felt throughout the Maryland tidewater counties.
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has a meaningful economic impact on small
businesses. An analysis of this economic impact follows:
This action may have short-term negative impacts on charter captains, bait and tackle shops, and marinas while having long-term positive impacts on all small businesses that participate in the striped bass fishery. See the Economic Impact Statement assumptions, IIID and E, for additional details.
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.

Informational
Public Meeting Announcement:
Maryland’s Draft 2024 Integrated Report of Surface Water Quality
The Federal Clean Water Act requires that States assess the quality of
their waters every two years and publish a list of waters not meeting the water
quality standards set for them. This list of impaired waters is included in the
State’s biennial Integrated Report (IR) of Surface Water Quality. Waters
identified in Category 5 of the IR are impaired and may require the development
of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). The Maryland Department of the
Environment (MDE) is announcing the availability of the Draft 2024 IR for
public review and comment. The 2024 IR includes the 303(d) 2025-2032 Vision,
which provides a long-term vision for assessment, restoration, and protection
under the Clean Water Act Section 303(d). Maryland’s 2025-2032 Vision focuses
on TMDL prioritization for current impairments. The Vision is being released
for public review and comment along with the 2024 IR.
The public review and comment period for both the IR and the 2025-2032
Vision will run from May 31, 2024 — July 1, 2024. The Draft IR is posted on MDE’s website at https://mde.maryland.gov/programs/water/TMDL/Integrated303dReports/Pages/2024IR.aspx Hard copies of the Draft IR may be
requested by calling Becky Monahan at (410) 537-3947. Please note that the
Department charges a fee to cover printing and shipping costs. Public
comments or questions on the IR and the 2025-2032 Vision may be directed in
writing to Becky Monahan, MDE, Water and Science Administration, 1800
Washington Blvd., Baltimore, Maryland 21230, or emailed to Becky.Monahan@maryland.gov, on or before July 1, 2024.
The Department is hosting a virtual informational public meeting for
both the IR and the 2025-2032 Vision at 6 pm on Thursday, June 13, 2024.
