A bill to appropriate, with an offset, $36,000,000 for the Seafood Import Monitoring Program of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to increase audits of imported shrimp and red snapper.

This bill provides $36 million in funding for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to expand audits of imported shrimp and red snapper under its Seafood Import Monitoring Program. The funding is offset by redirecting $36 million in existing IRS savings from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The primary effect is increased scrutiny on these specific seafood imports, targeting importers and suppliers of shrimp and red snapper. NOAA will use the funds to enhance monitoring and verification of foreign seafood shipments entering the U.S. market.
