Administrative Procedure Act/
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Prior notice and an opportunity for
public comment are not required by the
Administrative Procedure Act or any
other law for rules concerning public
property, loans, grants, benefits, and
contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2)). Because
notice and opportunity for comment are
not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or
any other law, the analytical
requirements for the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are
inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory
flexibility analysis has not been
prepared.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 30, 2004, notice was
published in the Federal Register (69
FR 69585) that a request for a scientific
research permit to take green,
leatherback, loggerhead, olive ridley,
and hawksbill sea turtles had been
submitted by the above-named
organization. The requested permit has
been issued under the authority of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
and the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226).
Researchers have been issued a 5-year
permit to annually measure,
photograph, tissue sample, flipper tag
and release, or salvage (if dead) 7 green,
34 leatherback, 21 loggerhead, and 42
olive ridley sea turtles that have been
captured in the Hawaii longline fishery.
The hard-shelled species would also
have a pop-up satellite tag (PSAT)
attached to their shell. An additional 6
(combined total of all species)
hawksbill, olive ridley, loggerhead, and
green sea turtles captured in the
American Samoa longline fishery would
be measured, photographed, tissue
sampled, flipper tagged, PSAT tagged
and released, or salvaged (if dead). One
leatherback captured in the American
Samoa longline fishery would also be
measured, photographed, tissue
sampled, flipper tagged, and released, or
salvaged (if dead). Coverage for the
incidental capture of turtles in these
fisheries would be provided under the
incidental take statement of the
February 23, 2004 Biological Opinion
for the Western Pelagics Fishery
Management Plan. The proposed
research would provide data on the at
sea distribution and movement patterns
of sea turtles. It would also investigate
the post-release behavior and mortality
of hard-shelled turtles that have been
hooked or entangled by longline gear.

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy
Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Circular A–130, the Department
of Energy (DOE) is publishing a notice
of a proposed amendment to an existing
system of records and the deletion of a
system that will no longer be
maintained. DOE has acquired a new
financial system that requires new
hardware and software. This notice
proposes to combine DOE–18
‘‘Accounts Payable Financial System’’
and DOE–19 ‘‘Accounts Receivable
Financial System’’ into a single system
of records, eliminate DOE–19 ‘‘Accounts
Receivable Financial System’’ from the
Department’s inventory of systems of
records, rename DOE–18 to ‘‘Financial
Accounting System,’’ expand the
categories of records maintained in the
system, and establish a new routine use
provision for DOE–18.
DATES: The proposed amendment to an
existing system of records will become
effective without further notice, on May
12, 2005, unless in advance of that date,
DOE receives adverse comments and
determines that this amendment should
not become effective on that date.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be directed to the following address:

Director, Freedom of Information Act
and Privacy Act Group, ME–74, 1000
