AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the head of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, consulting with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Coast Guard, to jointly develop a standard method based on chemical analysis for identifying which country seafood came from. The method is meant to support enforcement against unlawful, unreported, and unregulated fishing. It must use a field kit one person can carry and, where practicable, work on prepared foods such as sushi and ceviche. The agencies must run pilot studies on red snapper and certain tuna species. Within 2 years, a report on the method and a plan to put it into use must be sent to Congress.
