ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: Technical information or
comments are requested on the
proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed
BFE modifications for the communities
listed below. The BFEs and modified
BFEs are the basis for the floodplain
management measures that the
community is required either to adopt
or to show evidence of being already in
effect in order to qualify or remain
qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
DATES: The comment period is ninety
(90) days following the second
publication of this proposed rule in a
newspaper of local circulation in each
community.
ADDRESSES: The proposed BFEs for each
community are available for inspection
at the office of the Chief Executive

Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Emergency Management Agency
makes the final determinations listed
below for the modified BFEs for each
community listed. These modified
elevations have been published in
newspapers of local circulation and
ninety (90) days have elapsed since that
publication. The Mitigation Division
Director of the Emergency Preparedness
and Response Directorate has resolved
any appeals resulting from this
notification.
These proposed BFEs and modified
BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR
E:\FR\FM\04MRP1.SGM
04MRP1
10584
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 42 / Friday, March 4, 2005 / Proposed Rules
60.3, are the minimum that are required.
They should not be construed to mean
that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more
stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The
community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own, or
pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
These proposed elevations are used to
meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are also
used to calculate the appropriate flood
insurance premium rates for new
buildings built after these elevations are
made final, and for the contents in these
buildings.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Mitigation Division Director of
the Emergency Preparedness and
Response Directorate certifies that this
rule is exempt from the requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act because
modified base flood elevations are
required by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105,
and are required to maintain community
eligibility in the NFIP. No regulatory
flexibility analysis has been prepared.

Executive Order 12612, Federalism
This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism
implications under Executive Order
12612, Federalism, dated October 26,

This proposed rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44

Consideration. No environmental
impact assessment has been prepared.

Requirements; Regulatory Amendment
to Modify Seafood Dealer Reporting
Requirements

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: NMFS proposes measures to
modify the existing reporting and record
keeping regulations for federally
permitted seafood dealers participating
in the summer flounder, scup, black sea
bass, Atlantic sea scallop, Northeast
(NE) multispecies, monkfish, Atlantic
mackerel, squid, butterfish, Atlantic
surfclam, ocean quahog, Atlantic
herring, Atlantic deep-sea red crab,
tilefish, Atlantic bluefish, skate, and/or
spiny dogfish fisheries in the NE
Region. The purpose of this action is to
reduce the reporting burden on seafood
dealers, improve data quality, simplify
compliance, enhance enforceability, and
clarify existing requirements.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule
must be received on or before March 21,
2005.

amendment, its Regulatory Impact
Review (RIR), the Initial Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis (IRFA), and other
supporting materials are available from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Regulations implementing the fishery
management plans (FMPs) for the
summer flounder, scup, black sea bass,
Atlantic sea scallop, NE multispecies,
monkfish, Atlantic mackerel, squid,
butterfish, Atlantic surfclam, ocean
quahog, Atlantic herring, Atlantic deepsea red crab, tilefish, Atlantic bluefish,
skate, and spiny dogfish fisheries are
found at 50 CFR part 648. These FMPs
were prepared under the authority of
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act). All dealers
and vessels issued a Federal permit in
one or more of the aforementioned
fisheries must comply with the
reporting requirements outlined at
§ 648.7. Lobster dealers issued a Federal
lobster permit, but not issued any of the
permits with mandatory reporting
requirements under this part, are not
required to comply with these reporting
regulations, although other reporting
requirements may apply.
Prior to March 1994, nearly all
fisheries landing information was
collected from seafood dealers and
vessel owners on a voluntary basis.
Vessel owners/operators were asked by
NMFS Field Staff to respond voluntarily
to interview questions regarding effort
and location information for their
fishing trip, which were used to
augment the detailed purchase reports
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702

submitted by dealers. In 1994,
mandatory reporting by seafood dealers
and vessel owners/operators permitted
in the summer flounder, Atlantic sea
scallop and NE multispecies fisheries
was implemented. As subsequent FMPs
for additional fisheries were developed,
including several managed, in part, by
harvest limits, mandatory reporting by
dealers and vessels became an integral
part of those FMPs. Any dealer issued
a permit for a species with mandatory
reporting requirements was required to
submit trip-level purchase reports on a
weekly basis, either on paper or in an
approved electronic format. If no
purchases were made during a calendar
month, a negative report so stating was
required. Dealers were also required to
submit weekly summary reports of
certain quota-managed species through
the telephone-based Interactive Voice
Response (IVR) system. If no purchases
of any quota-managed species were
made during the reporting week, a
negative report was required.
NMFS published a final rule (69 FR
13482, March 23, 2004) that was
effective May 1, 2004. It implemented
new reporting regulations requiring
seafood dealers permitted in the
summer flounder, scup, black sea bass,
Atlantic sea scallop, NE multispecies,
monkfish, Atlantic mackerel, squid,
butterfish, Atlantic surfclam, ocean
quahog, Atlantic herring, Atlantic deepsea red crab, tilefish, Atlantic bluefish,
skate, and/or spiny dogfish fisheries to
submit electronically trip-level reports,
of all fish purchased or received,
regardless of species, area harvested,
point of purchase, or point of landing.
Electronic reports must be submitted to
NMFS using one of four acceptable
methods: data entry via a web-based
form; file upload via a web site; file
upload using an approved state
management agency program; or file
transfer protocol (FTP) via the phone
line.
Reports are required to be submitted
either on a weekly or a daily basis,
depending on the dealer category. Each
dealer is currently assigned to either the
Small Dealer or Large Dealer category,
based on past ex-vessel purchase value.
Any dealer with less than $300,000 in
total ex-vessel purchases in each year
from 2000 through 2002 is considered a
Small Dealer and must report trip-level
purchase reports each week. Reports are
due within 3 days of the end of the
reporting week, by midnight Tuesday.
Any dealer with at least $300,000 in exvessel purchases in 2000, 2001, or 2002
is considered a Large Dealer and must
submit trip-level purchase reports by
midnight of the following business day.
Any dealer issued a new permit in 2003
