In accordance with the emergency provisions of R.S. 49:953 of the Administrative Procedure Act, and under the authority of R.S. 56:6.1, the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission hereby closes all commercial fishing, effective immediately December 2, 2010, in the following area:

That portion of state and territorial waters bounded by the following coordinates: 1) 29 degrees 12 minutes 35 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 01 minutes 05 seconds west longitude, 2) 29 degrees 11 minutes 35 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 01 minutes 10 seconds west longitude, 3) 29 degrees 11 minutes 10 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 02 minutes 00 seconds west longitude, 4) 29 degrees 11 minutes 35 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 02 minutes 55 seconds west longitude, and that portion of state inside and outside territorial waters south of the southern shore of Pass a Loutre and 29 degrees 11 minutes 25 seconds north latitude westward to 89 degrees 25 minutes 00 seconds west longitude and the eastern shore of Southwest Pass of the Mississippi River and south of 29 degrees 08 minutes 35 seconds north latitude inside of a line extending seaward one-quarter mile or more from the shoreline beginning at 29 degrees 11 minutes 25 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 03 minutes 30 seconds west longitude; thence east southeast to 29 degrees 11 minutes 00 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 02 minutes 25 seconds west longitude; thence south southwest to 29 degrees 08 minutes 55 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 06 minutes 15 seconds west longitude; thence east southeast to 29 degrees 08 minutes 15 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 02 minutes 10 seconds west longitude; thence south southwest to 29 degrees 04 minutes 50 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 04 minutes 10 seconds west longitude; thence north northwest to 29 degrees 06 minutes 00 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 06 minutes 00 seconds west longitude; thence south southwest to 28 degrees 59 minutes 35 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 08 minutes 00 seconds west longitude; thence south southwest to 28 degrees 59 minutes 15 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 08 minutes 15 seconds west longitude; thence south southwest to 28 degrees 58 minutes 20 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 10 minutes 00 seconds west longitude; thence north northwest to 29 degrees 02 minutes 40 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 16 minutes 20 seconds west longitude; thence south southwest to 28 degrees 54 minutes 40 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 25 minutes 00 seconds west longitude excluding those waters within Pass a Loutre west of 89 degrees 02 minutes 00 seconds west longitude, Northeast Pass west of 89 degrees 02 minutes 10 seconds west longitude, Southeast Pass west of 89 degrees 04 minutes 10 seconds west longitude and South Pass west of 89 degrees 08 minutes 00 seconds west longitude, and that portion of state inside waters north of 29 degrees 26 minutes 00 seconds north latitude and south of 29 degrees 30 minutes 00 seconds north latitude from 89 degrees 50 minutes 00 seconds west longitude westward to the eastern shore of the Barataria Waterway, and that portion of state inside and outside territorial waters bounded by the following coordinates: 1) 29 degrees 21 minutes 00 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 52 minutes 00 seconds west longitude, 2) 29 degrees 18 minutes 00 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 52 minutes 00 seconds west longitude, 3) 29 degrees 15 minutes 40 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 56 minutes 00 seconds west longitude, 4) 29 degrees 17 minutes 10 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 57 minutes 30 seconds west longitude.

Recreational fishing is open in all state inside and outside territorial waters, except in the following areas, where only recreational angling and charter boat angling is allowed: that portion of state inside waters north of 29 degrees 26 minutes 00 seconds north latitude and south of 29 degrees 30 minutes 00 seconds north latitude from 89 degrees 50 minutes 00 seconds west longitude westward to the eastern shore of the Barataria Waterway, and that portion of state inside and outside territorial waters bounded by the following coordinates: 1) 29 degrees 21 minutes 00 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 52 minutes 00 seconds west longitude, 2) 29 degrees 18 minutes 00 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 52 minutes 00 seconds west longitude, 3) 29 degrees 15 minutes 40 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 56 minutes 00 seconds west longitude, 4) 29 degrees 17 minutes 10 seconds north latitude 89 degrees 57 minutes 30 seconds west longitude.

The Deepwater Horizon drilling rig accident has resulted in a significant release of hydrocarbon pollutants into the waters offshore of southeast Louisiana and these pollutants have the potential to impact fish and other aquatic life in portions of Louisiana’s coastal waters. Efforts have been made and are continuing to minimize the potential threats to fish and other aquatic life.

The commission hereby grants authority to the Secretary of the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to open, close, reopen-reclose, broaden or otherwise modify the areas closed and opened to fishing if biological, environmental and technical data indicate the need to do so, or as needed to effectively implement the provisions herein.

Small Coastal Shark Commercial Season Closure

In accordance with the emergency provisions of R.S. 49:953, which allows the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission to use emergency procedures to set finfish seasons, R.S. 56:326.3 which provides that the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission may set seasons for saltwater finfish, and the authority given to the secretary of the department by the commission in its rule, LAC 76:VII.357.M.2, which allows the secretary authority to modify seasons to maintain consistency with the adjacent federal waters, and that such closure order shall close the season until the date projected for the re-opening of that fishery in the adjacent federal waters, the Secretary of the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries hereby declares:

Effective 11:30 p.m., November 18, 2010, the commercial fishery for Small Coastal Sharks in Louisiana waters, as described in LAC 76:VII.357.B.1, (bonnethead shark, Atlantic sharpnose shark, blacknose shark, finetooth shark) will close until further notice. This closure will not pertain to persons holding a Federal Shark Research Permit issued by NOAA Fisheries Service, when those persons are legally fishing under the regulations promulgated for that permit including that a NMFS-approved observer is aboard the vessel. Nothing herein shall preclude the legal harvest of Small Coastal Sharks by legally licensed recreational fishermen during the open season for recreational harvest. Effective with this closure, no person shall commercially harvest, possess, purchase, exchange, barter, trade, sell or attempt to purchase, exchange, barter, trade or sell small coastal sharks, whether taken from within or without Louisiana waters, except for a Federal Shark Research Permit holder, when legally operating under that Permit. Also effective with the closure, no person shall possess Small Coastal Sharks in excess of a daily bag limit whether taken from within or without Louisiana waters, which may only be in possession during the open recreational season. Nothing shall prohibit the possession or sale of fish legally taken prior to the closure, or from Federal Shark Research Permit holders, provided that all commercial dealers possessing Small Coastal Sharks taken legally prior to the closure shall maintain appropriate records in accordance with R.S. 56:306.5 and R.S. 56:306.6.

The secretary has been notified by NOAA Fisheries Service that the harvest of Small Coastal Sharks in the federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico has closed at 11:30 p.m. local time on November 2, 2010, and will be closed until 30 days after promulgation of seasonal rules for the 2011 shark season. The commercial season for harvest of small coastal shark in Louisiana waters will remain closed until the announcement is made of the seasons for the harvest of small coastal shark in federal waters off of Louisiana. Establishing this closure is necessary to ensure that compatible regulations are in effect, and to increase effectiveness of enforcement operations.

Territorial Waters Shrimp Closure

In accordance with the emergency provisions of R.S. 49:953 of the Administrative Procedure Act, and under the authority of R.S.56:497 which provides that the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission shall have the authority to open or close state outside waters to shrimping by zone each year as it deems appropriate, the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission hereby orders a closure to shrimping in that portion of state outside waters, south of the Inside/Outside Shrimp Line as described in R.S. 56:495, from the western shore of Freshwater Bayou Canal at 92 degrees 18 minutes 33 seconds west longitude to the U.S. Coast Guard navigational light off the northwest shore of Caillou Boca at 29 degrees 03 minutes 10 seconds north latitude and 90 degrees 50 minutes 27 seconds west longitude. This closure is effective at official sunset, Tuesday, December 21, 2010.

R.S. 56:498 provides that the possession count on saltwater white shrimp for each cargo lot shall average no more than 100 (whole specimens) count per pound except during the time period from October fifteenth through the third Monday in December. Current biological sampling conducted by the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has indicated that average white shrimp size in this portion of state outside waters is slightly larger than 100 count per pound; however, historical data indicate that significant numbers of smaller size white shrimp occupying coastal lakes and bays migrate into these waters as water temperatures drop in conjunction with the onset of winter. This action is being taken to protect these small white shrimp and provide them the opportunity to grow to a larger and more valuable size.

The Wildlife and Fisheries Commission authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to delay the closing date, if marketable quantities of shrimp are available for harvest, and to close to shrimping, if necessary to protect small white shrimp, any part of remaining state outside waters, if biological and technical data indicate the need to do so or if enforcement problems develop, and to reopen any area closed to shrimping when the closure is no longer necessary; and hereby authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to open and close special shrimp seasons in any portion of state inside waters where such a season would not detrimentally impact developing brown shrimp populations.

Residential Licensing—Disqualification


(LAC 48:V.6955)

Editor’s Note: This Section is being repromulgated to correct a citation error. The original Rule may be viewed in its entirety on pages 831-838 of the April 20, 2010 edition of the Louisiana Register.

In accordance with R.S. 49:950 et seq., the Administrative Procedure Act, notice is hereby given that the Department of Social Services (DSS), Office of Family Support (OFS) and Office of Community Services (OCS), promulgated rules in the Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC) Title 48, Part I, Subpart 3, Chapter 88, Adult Residential Care Licensing, Title 67, Part III, Subpart 21, Chapter 73, Child Day Care Licensing, and LAC Title 67, Part V, Subpart 8, Chapters 61-69, Residential Licensing pursuant to the general rule-making authority of the department under R.S. 46:51 and the specific rule-making authority over child care facilities and child placing agencies granted by the Child Care Facility and Child-Placing Agency Licensing Act, R.S. 46:1401-1426, and the specific authority to create rules for transitional living granted by the Transitional Youth Residence Act, R.S. 46:1451-1455.

State licensing regulations for child care facilities provided no disqualification period for licensees who have had a prior license revoked for failure to comply with State laws and regulations governing facilities providing out-of-home care for children and elderly or infirmed adults. This lack of specific disqualification periods had allowed substandard facilities to take temporary remedial action and reapply for a new license immediately following revocation of the previous one.

c. In addition, if the applicant has had a substantial history of non-compliance, including but not limited to revocation of a previous license, operation without a license, or denial of one or more previous applications for licensure, the department may refuse to accept a subsequent application from that applicant for a minimum period of two years after the effective date of denial.
