Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 37 / Friday, February 25, 2005 / Proposed Rules State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not result in such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. Taking of Private Property This proposed rule will not affect a taking of private property or otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights. Civil Justice Reform This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden. Protection of Children We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This proposed rule is not an economically significant rule and will not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might disproportionately affect children. Indian Tribal Governments This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Energy Effects We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ‘‘significant energy action’’ under that Order because it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211. VerDate jul<14>2003 16:21 Feb 24, 2005 Jkt 205001 Technical Standards The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards. 9265 2. In § 165.809, revise the section heading and paragraph (a) to read as follows: § 165.809 Security Zone; Port of Corpus Christi Inner Harbor, Corpus Christi, TX. (a) Location. The following area is designated as a security zone: all waters of the Corpus Christi Inner Harbor from the Inner Harbor Bridge (U.S. Hwy 181) to, and including the Viola Turning Basin. * * * * * Dated: February 11, 2005.

[FR Doc. 05–3605 Filed 2–24–05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–15–P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Environment 40 CFR Part 62 We have analyzed this rule under Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have concluded that there are no factors in this case that would limit the use of a categorical exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 34(g), of the Instruction, from further environmental documentation because this rule is not expected to result in any significant adverse environmental impact as described in NEPA. Under figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction, an ‘‘Environmental Analysis Check List’’ and a ‘‘Categorical Exclusion Determination’’ are not required for this rule.

PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 The Groundfish Oversight Committee will discuss Framework Adjustment 41 (FW 41) to the Northeast Mutlispecies Fishery Management Plan and will continue work on the biennial adjustment. FW 41 will specify the requirements for participation in the Closed Area I Haddock Special Access Program by vessels that are not members of the Georges Bank Cod Hook Sector. The Committee will focus on designing measures to reduce the risk that participation by these vessels will result in a race to fish to harvest the allowable haddock Total Allowable Catch (TAC). They will also consider ways to manage the incidental catch TAC for Georges Bank cod that is harvested in this program and may address other details as well. The Committee’s recommendations will be considered by the Council at the March 29–31, 2005, Council meeting. The Committee will also continue to review issues and develop options for the biennial framework adjustment that, if adopted, will be implemented May 1, 2006. At this meeting the committee will focus on several issues that do not require information on current fishing mortality and stock status. These will include, but are not limited to, modifications to the days-at-sea transfer program, a proposal for a different management approach in the northern Gulf of Maine, alternatives to the Amendment 13 default measures, and issues related to vessels that possess both a scallop trawl and limited access groundfish permit. Although non-emergency issues not contained in this agenda may come before this group for discussion, those issues may not be the subject of formal action during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues specifically listed in this notice and any issues arising after publication of this notice that require emergency action under section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, provided the public has been notified of the Council’s intent to take final action to address the emergency.
