Lobster Processing License


       The proposed rule making creates a two way approach for a Lobster Processor license that would allow both processing of tails and lobster parts with a fee of $500 for a new one . For a lobster processor Tails only license for processing only lobster tails with a fee of $159 new fee and similar to the former lobster tail permit. The proposed rules would also update the lobster meat permit rules similar to the repealed lobster meat permit. With no change to license fees, There would be records required for each license holder for traceable and enforcement purposes. A date of July 1, 2010 is proposed for these regulations.
