Back to your regularly scheduled programming.......

A couple of questions for those more versed in NOF negotiations.
I keep hearing that both sides are still talking.

1. Is there an official drop dead date on when an agreement must be reached by or can they continue to negotiate right up to the proposed July openings?
2. If they were to reach an agreement, how long would it take NOAA to rubber stamp it?

Thanks for your input.
