Is it true that new rules will be proposed/finalized 5/24?

So, the following still apply?

2011 Recreational Atlantic Tunas Retention Limits

STARTING ON APRIL 2, 2011, the BFT retention limits will change to one BFT (measuring 27 to less than 59 inches) for private vessels per vessel per day/trip and to one school BFT (measuring 27 to less than 47 inches) and one large school BFT (measuring 47 to less than 59 inches) for charter/headboat vessels per vessel per day/trip; and (2) closure of the southern area large medium/giant “trophy” BFT fishery (for BFT measuring 73 inches and greater).
