Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 52 / Friday, March 17, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
made, this final rule may take effect
within less than 30 days.
National Environmental Policy Act.
This rule is categorically excluded from
the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10,
Environmental Considerations. No
environmental impact assessment has
been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. The
Administrator has determined that this
rule is exempt from the requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act because
the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022,
prohibits flood insurance coverage
unless an appropriate public body
adopts adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement
measures. The communities listed no
longer comply with the statutory
requirements, and after the effective
date, flood insurance will no longer be
available in the communities unless
remedial action takes place.
Regulatory Classification. This final
rule is not a significant regulatory action
under the criteria of section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866 of September 30,
1993, Regulatory Planning and Review,
58 FR 51735.
Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule

Register of February 24, 2006. The
document issued final specifications for
the 2006 Atlantic bluefish fisheries.
Inadvertently, Table 1 of the final rule
contained incorrect individual state
commercial quota allocations (after
adjusting for the research set-aside
quota). This document corrects that
error.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final
rule, including final quota specifications
for the Atlantic bluefish fisheries, was
published in the Federal Register on
February 24, 2006 (71 FR 9471). The
final rule presented a new alternative

in the proposed rule) to ensure that

The Assistant Administrator for
fisheries, NOAA (AA) finds good cause
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive
prior notice and the opportunity for
public comment because it would be
impracticable and contrary to the public
interest. This rule corrects a calculation
error in the state allocations for bluefish
in the final rule published on February
24, 2006 (71 FR 9471). When the final
state allocations where calculated to
reflect the new transfer amount, NMFS
inadvertently made an error in
calculation; i.e., the table that revised
the individual state quota allocations
carried over a conversion factor that did
not correctly account for the RSA quota
based on the new proportion
(recreational/commercial split).
Providing for a public comment period
for this rule would prevent the
correction of the aforementioned final
rule before it becomes effective.
Publication of incorrect state quota
allocations could cause some
unnecessary confusion among those
states whose allocation is different from
the levels previously calculated. The
correction provides a slightly higher
allocation to each of the states.
The AA further finds pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3) good cause to waive the
thirty (30) delayed effectiveness period
for the reasons stated above. This rule
corrects a calculation error in the state
allocations for bluefish in the final rule
published on February 24, 2006 (71 FR
9471). When the final state allocations
were calculated to reflect the new

transfer amount, NMFS inadvertently
made an error in calculation; i.e., the
table that revised the individual state
quota allocations carried over a
conversion factor that did not correctly
account for the RSA quota based on the
new proportion (recreational/
commercial split). Providing for a 30–
day delay in effectiveness for this rule
would prevent the correction of the
aforementioned final rule before it
becomes effective. Publication of
incorrect state quota allocations could
cause some unnecessary confusion
among those states whose allocation is
different from the levels previously
calculated.
This rule has been determined to be
not significant under Executive Order
12866.
