CHAPTER 38--DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Sec. 2672a. Alternate United States Commissioners for
international fisheries commissions
In order to insure appropriate representation at meetings of
international fisheries commissions, the Secretary of State, in
consultation with the Secretary of Commerce or of the Interior as
appropriate may designate from time to time Alternate United States
Commissioners to the North Pacific Fur Seal Commission, the Inter-
American Tropical Tuna Commission, the International Pacific Halibut
Commission, the International Whaling Commission, the Commission for the
Conservation of Shrimp in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, the International
Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, and any similar
commission (other than the International Commission for the Northwest
Atlantic Fisheries and the International North Pacific Fisheries
Commission) established pursuant to a convention between the United
States and other governments. Alternate United States Commissioners may
exercise, at any meeting of the respective Commission or of the United
States Section thereof, all powers and duties of a United States
Commissioner in the absence of a duly designated Commissioner for
whatever reason. The number of such Alternate United States
Commissioners that may be designated for any such meeting shall be
limited to the number of authorized United States Commissioners that
will not be present. In the event that there are Deputy United States
Commissioners pursuant to the convention or statute, such Deputy United
States Commissioners shall have precedence over any Alternate
Commissioners so designated pursuant to this section.
