firm. The parameters of interest are the output price, variable input price,
discount rate, lease length, initial resource stock, and various tax rates.
The effects of changes in these parameters on the entire optimal time paths of
the current shadow value of the stock, the resource stock, and the extraction
rate are characterized in the perturbed phase plan.

Regulatory Impact Review, and Final Environmental Impact Statement for
the Queen Conch Resources of Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin
Island. 268 Munoz Rivera Ave., Suite 1108, San Juan, Puerto Rico,
June, 78 pp.
The fishery management plan imposes limits on the harvesting of queen
conch to curb overfishing in the EEZ. However if recruitment is dependent on
conch populations in other Caribbean countries, cooperative efforts with other
nations will be necessary to effectively manage queen conch throughout its
range.
Caribbean Fishery Management Council (1997). Amendment Number 1 to the
Fishery Management Plan for Corals and Reef Associated Plants and
Invertebrates of Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands for
Establishing a Marine Conservation District Including Regulatory Impact
Review and Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis and an Environmental
Impact Statement. 268 Munoz Rivera Ave., Suite 1108, San Juan, Puerto
Rico, September, 54 pp.
The Council is proposing the establishment of a Marine Conservation
District (MCD) in the EEZ. The expected effects of the MCDs under the Coral
FMP and this amendment are (1) to provide refuge and replenishment areas to
ensure continued abundance and diversity of reef resources; (2) to protect
critical spawning stock and recruits from depletion and overfishing, thus
increasing abundance of fishery resources; (3) to protect coral and coral
habitat; and 94) to improve opportunities for eco-tourism. An excellent
regulatory impact analysis of the plan is included in the document.
Caribbean Fishery Management Council (1998). Essential Fish Habitat (EFH)
Generic Amendment to the Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) of the U.S.
Caribbean, Volume I and II. Draft, 268 Munoz Rivera Ave., Suite 1108,
San Juan, Puerto Rico, September, 54 pp.
This generic amendment amends FMPs for reef fish, spiny lobster, queen
conch, and coral to address EFH. The generic amendment identifies and
describes EFH for selected management unit species, identifies threats to EFH
from fishing and non-fishing activities, presents, where possible, options to
conserve and enhance EFH, and identifies research needs. This amendment
proposes no management measures, and, therefore, no regulations are
anticipated. It is expected that the final amendment will contain an
environmental assessment.

not." C.M. 1994/(C+E+L):2, Joint Session on Quality Assurance of

This paper discusses some aspects of quality; what it is and how it can
be regarded to avoid or at least reduce ambiguity. It describes the relation
between quality assurance and standardization, accreditation, and other terms
that are frequently used and often misunderstood in this context. The paper
