- National_Invasive_Species_Act abstract "The National Invasive Species Act (NISA) was sponsored by U.S. House Representative Steve LaTourette on 28 September 1996, and it became Public Law No. 104-332 (H.R. 4283) on 26 October 1996. The official purpose, as introduced, is: “To provide for ballast water management to prevent the introduction and spread of non-indigenous species into the waters of the United States, and for other purposes.” It was created to reauthorize and amend a previous measure, the Non-indigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990 (NANPCA), and one of its prime focuses is to prevent invasive species from entering the Great Lakes through ballast water. The Federal departments and agencies involved with carrying out NISA are the United States Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service; Department of Transportation, Coast Guard (the Coast Guard moved to the Department of Homeland Security in 2002); Environmental Protection Agency; United States Department of Defense, Army Corps of Engineers; and the United States Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Organisms targeted by NISA are categorized as aquatic nuisance species, including in particular Zebra mussels and Eurasian ruffe. To extend upon NANPCA, NISA authorizes regulation of ballast water, a key factor in the spread of aquatic invasive species; funding for prevention and control research; regional involvement with the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force; and education and technical assistance programs to promote compliance with the new regulations. NISA also includes specific actions for certain geographical locations, such as the Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and San Francisco Bay.NISA expired in 2002.".
