Download as PDF 15600 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 58 / Monday, March 28, 2005 / Rules and Regulations The agency does not believe that these changes will affect the performance measured under FMVSS No. 213. Effective Date The amendments on the dummies’ clothing and shoes are effective in 30 days. An effective date less than 180 days after date of publication of this rule is in the public interest because these amendments correct and clarify the specifications for the clothing and shoes. Further, there is good cause for the effective date because FMVSS No. 213 specifies that the agency will use the Hybrid III dummies in the standard’s compliance tests of child restraints manufactured on or after August 1, 2005. Rulemaking Analyses and Notices Executive Order 12866 (Federal Regulation) and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures This rulemaking document was not reviewed under E.O. 12866, ‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review.’’ The agency has considered the impact of this rulemaking action under the Department of Transportation’s regulatory policies and procedures, and has determined that it is not ‘‘significant’’ under them. This document amends FMVSS No. 213 to correct the specification for the clothing and shoes worn by the new 3- and 6year old child test dummies. The correction does not affect the performance of the dummies or the performance of child restraints. There are no cost or benefit changes associated with this final rule. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (Public Law 96–354), as amended, requires agencies to evaluate the potential effects of their proposed and final rules on small businesses, small organizations and small governmental jurisdictions. I hereby certify that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This final rule simply corrects an inconsistency in the specification of clothing and shoes worn by the test dummies. It does not reduce or impose any new obligations or requirements. Executive Order 13132 (Federalism) NHTSA has analyzed this rule in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in E.O. 13132, and has determined that it does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant consultation with State and local officials or the preparation of a federalism summary impact statement. VerDate jul<14>2003 15:00 Mar 25, 2005 Jkt 205001 The rule will not have any substantial effects on the States, or on the current Federal-State relationship, or on the current distribution of power and responsibilities among the various local officials. National Environmental Policy Act NHTSA has analyzed this rulemaking action for the purposes of the National Environmental Policy Act. The agency has determined that implementation of this action will not have any significant impact on the quality of the human environment. Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform) This rule will not have any retroactive effect. A petition for reconsideration or other administrative proceeding will not be a prerequisite to an action seeking judicial review of this rule. This rule will not preempt the states from adopting laws or regulations on the same subject, except that it will preempt a state regulation that is in actual conflict with the Federal regulation or makes compliance with the Federal regulation impossible or interferes with the implementation of the Federal statute.

Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for the deep-water species fishery by vessels using trawl gear in the GOA.

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for species that comprise 
the deep-water species fishery by vessels using trawl gear in the Gulf 
of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary because the first seasonal 
apportionment of the 2005 Pacific halibut bycatch allowance specified 
for the deep-water species fishery in the GOA has been reached.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS manages the groundfish fishery in the 
GOA exclusive economic zone according to the Fishery Management Plan 
for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North 
Pacific Fishery Management Council under authority of the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Regulations governing 
fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP appear at subpart H 
of 50 CFR part 600 and 50 CFR part 679.
    The first seasonal apportionment of the 2005 Pacific halibut 
bycatch allowance specified for the deep-water species fishery in the

    In accordance with Sec.  679.21(d)(7)(i), the Administrator, Alaska 
Region, NMFS, has determined that the first seasonal apportionment of 
the 2005 Pacific halibut bycatch allowance specified for the trawl 
deep-water species fishery in the GOA has been reached. Consequently, 
NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for the deep-water species fishery 
by vessels using trawl gear in the GOA. The species and species groups 
that comprise the deep-water species fishery are all rockfish of the 
genera Sebastes and Sebastolobus, deep-water flatfish, rex sole,

amounts at Sec.  679.20(e) and (f) apply at any time during a trip.

Classification

    This action responds to the best available information recently 
obtained from the fishery. The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, 
NOAA (AA), finds good cause to waive the requirement to provide prior 
notice and opportunity for public comment pursuant to the authority set 
forth at 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as such requirement is impracticable and 
contrary to the public interest. This requirement is impracticable and 
contrary to the public interest as it would prevent NMFS from
