	Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act - Read the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act here Part 1
		It's also worth mentioning that this Act is designed to effect both the rights of consumers and the obligations of warrantors that are offering written warranties.
		To understand the Act, it is probably best that the consumer be aware of Congress' intentions when they first passed it.
		Because of this, the Act makes it easier for consumers to seek a private solution for any breach of warranty in the courts, but it also creates a foundation for companies to set up good operating procedures for resolving disputes inexpensively and informally, without litigation.

	Magnuson-Stevens Act (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act is the governing authority for all fishery management activities that occur in federal waters within the United States 200 nautical mile limit, or Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
		Originally passed and signed into law in 1976, the Magnuson Act, as it was then called, established the U.S. 200 nautical mile limit and by implication legitimized a 200 nautical mile EEZ for all other maritime nations.
		The Magnuson Act requires the U.S. Congress to periodically review or "reauthorize" the Magnuson Act to keep it current and to address new or persisting fishery management and conservation problems.

	MAGNUSON Case
		The Issue The Magnuson Fisheries Conservation Act of 1976 officially gave the federal government the authority to manage fisheries and claimed the area between 3 and 200 miles from shore (2 million square miles).
		The act was designed by Congress to "re-Americanize fisheries by controlling or eliminating foreign fishing and to restore and conserve the fish." Today the effectiveness of the act is being challenged by a number of environmental groups, including Greenpeace.
		Two of the key inventions of the Act was the development of a very large U.S. commercial fishing fleet and the creations of eight regional councils to set fishing limits and allocate the catches between competing fishermen.

	Magnuson Moss Act protects Consumers

		To understand the Act, it is useful to be aware of Congress' intentions in passing it.

	Background Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Magnuson Act, as it is often called, created federal authority to manage fisheries, and claimed the area between 3 and 200 miles from shore-- two million square miles of ocean-- as the Fishery Conservation Zone (later changed to the Exclusive Economic Zone, or EEZ) of the United States.
		The Magnuson Act's failure to conserve the fish for the fishers is perhaps most symbolically tragic in New England, where much of the impetus for enacting the Magnuson Act originally occurred.
		The Act directs that the councils be composed of "individuals who, by reason of their occupational or other experience, scientific expertise, or training, are knowledgeable regarding the conservation and management of the commercial or recreational harvest" of marine organisms.

	PCFFA Magnuson Act Testimony - Jan. 2000
		PCFFA represents working men and women in the west coast commercial fishing fleet – mainly owner/operators in the small to mid-size vessel fleet, the “family fishermen.” It is the largest commercial fishermen’s organization on the U.S. west coast.
		We are resigned to the fact that we will have to keep amending the Magnuson Act until, as former Congressman Studds’ has stated, “they finally get it right.” PCFFA is a member of the Marine Fish Conservation Network (MFCN) and is working with that coalition on proposed Magnuson Act amendments for this reauthorization round.
		Whether it is done under the Magnuson Act or some other action, the trawl fleet needs to be reduced by at least half of its fishing capacity and half of the active fleet of boats.

		Indeed, as shown by the fact that she rejected an agreement joined by one of the major plaintiffs that would have produced less severe restrictions on the industry, the Judge's decision goes far beyond what the law requires.
		Specifically, had I spoken earlier of the need to amend the Magnuson Act, some of the plaintiffs, whose hostility to the fishing industry far exceeds anything required by reasonable environmentalism, might have sought to argue that I was implicitly conceding that the Magnuson Act required the kind of Draconian action that Judge Kessler mistakenly ordered.
		I will be testifying on May 2 before the subcommittee of the Committee on Resources which is considering this Act, and I will make sensible amendment of the Magnuson Act one of my highest priorities for the rest of the Congressional session.
