EPA has
received requests from several groups to
extend the comment period for the
‘‘Toxics Release Inventory Burden
Reduction Proposed Rule.’’ (70 FR
57822, October 4, 2005) These groups
include Environmental Defense, the
National Environmental Trust, the U.S.
Public Interest Research Group, and the
Working Group on Community Right-toKnow. These groups have requested
additional time to conduct analysis of
TRI data and prepare comments on the
proposed rule. EPA has considered
these comments and determined that
extending the comment period is an
appropriate action that will not cause a
significant delay in evaluating
comments on the proposed rule and
promulgating the final rule. Therefore,
EPA is extending the comment period
on the October 4, 2005, proposed rule
from December 5, 2005, until January
13, 2006. All comments must be

Background
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration
Section 312(b)-(e) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1861a(b)
through (e)) (Magnuson-Stevens Act)
generally authorizes fishing capacity
reduction programs. In particular,
Magnuson-Stevens Act section 312(d)
authorizes industry fee systems for
repaying fishing capacity reduction
loans which finance program costs.
Section 212 of Division B, Title II, of
Public Law 108–7 (section 212)
specifically authorizes the Pacific Coast
groundfish fishing capacity reduction
program. Pursuant to section 212, NMFS
implemented the groundfish program by
a July 18, 2003, Federal Register notice
(68 FR 42613). On July 13, 2005, NMFS
published this program’s fee regulations
as a final rule (70 FR 40225) which is
codified under subpart M at § 600.1102.
The fee regulations require the
payment and collection of fees as
percentages of the ex-vessel value of
certain fish landed in both a ‘‘reduction
fishery’’ and in certain ‘‘fee-share
fisheries’’. One of the fee-share fisheries
is the Washington State fishery for pink
shrimp.
Section 212 defines a ‘‘fee-share
fishery’’ as ‘‘a fishery, other than the
reduction fishery, whose members are
eligible to vote in a referendum for an
industry fee system . . . .’’ Section 212
also provides that ‘‘persons who have
been issued . . . Washington . . . Pink
shrimp permits shall be eligible to vote
in the referendum . . . .’’ Consequently,
under section 212, the fee-share fishery
involving Washington pink shrimp is
the fishery for pink shrimp conducted
by person whom Washington has issued
a ‘‘pink shrimp permit.’’
At the time the proposed and final
rules were published, NMFS was aware
of only one ‘‘pink shrimp’’ fishery.
NMFS became aware after publication
of both the groundfish program notice
and the program’s subsequent fee
regulations of the existence of two
additional Washington State licenses
involving pink shrimp other then the
‘‘pink shrimp’’ licenses themselves.
These additional Washington State
licenses are the ‘‘Puget Sound Shrimp
Pots’’ licenses and ‘‘Puget Sound
Shrimp Trawl’’ licenses. Although both
these Puget Sound shrimp licenses
involve some pink shrimp harvests in
Puget Sound, both involve the harvest of
other types of shrimp as well. The
Washington ‘‘pink shrimp’’ permits
issued for Puget Sound were not
intended to be included in the
Washington fee-share fishery involving
pink shrimp.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: NMFS publishes this
proposed rule to clarify that the fee
regulations for the Pacific Coast
groundfish fishing capacity reduction
program do not apply to any shrimp
landed under Washington State fishing
licenses for Puget Sound shrimp. The
fee regulations remain otherwise
unchanged. The intent of this proposed
rule is to clarify that the fee rules do not
apply to the Puget Sound licenses.
DATES: Written comments on this
proposed rule must be received by
December 14, 2005.
