Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 121 / Friday, June 23, 2006 / Proposed Rules
Order 12866, and (2) concerns an
environmental health or safety risk that
we have reason to believe may have a
disproportionate effect on children. If
the regulatory action meets both criteria,
section 5–501 of the Executive Order
directs us to evaluate the environmental
health or safety effects of the planned
rule on children, and explain why the
planned regulation is preferable to other
potentially effective and reasonably
feasible alternatives considered by us.
This proposed rule is not subject to
the Executive Order because it is not an
economically significant regulatory
action as defined by Executive Order
12866. Furthermore, this proposed rule
does not concern an environmental
health or safety risk that we have reason
to believe may have a disproportionate
effect on children.
F. Executive Order 13211: Energy Effects
This proposed rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001) because it is not a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866.

G. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), section 12(d) of
Public Law 104–113, directs us to use
voluntary consensus standards in our
regulatory activities unless it would be
inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary
consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., materials specifications,
test methods, sampling procedures, and
business practices) developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies. The NTTAA directs
us to provide Congress, through OMB,
explanations when we decide not to use
available and applicable voluntary
consensus standards. This proposed
rulemaking does not involve technical
standards. Therefore, EPA is not
considering the use of any voluntary
consensus standards.
IV. Statutory Provisions and Legal
Authority
Statutory authority for the fuel
controls in today’s proposed rule comes
from CAA section 211(k) (42 U.S.C.
7545(k)), directing EPA to issue
regulations regarding the use of
reformulated gasoline, and section
211(c) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7545(c)),
which allows us to regulate fuels that
either contribute to air pollution which
endangers public health or welfare or

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the
Brio Refining, Inc. Superfund Site from
the National Priorities List.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Region 6 is issuing a notice of intent to
delete the Brio Refining, Inc. Superfund
Site (Site), located in Friendswood,
Texas, from the National Priorities List
(NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant
to Section 105 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is
appendix B of 40 CFR part 300, which
is the National Oil and Hazardous
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan
(NCP). The EPA and the State of Texas,
through the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ), have
determined that all appropriate
response actions under CERCLA, other
than operation and maintenance and
five-year reviews, have been completed.
However, this deletion does not
preclude future actions under
Superfund. In the ‘‘Rules and
Regulations’’ Section of today’s Federal
Register, we are publishing a direct final
notice of deletion of the Brio Refining,
Inc. Superfund Site without prior notice
of intent to delete because we view this
as a noncontroversial revision and
anticipate no adverse comment. We
have explained our reasons for this
deletion in the preamble to the direct
final deletion. If we receive no adverse
comment(s) on this notice of intent to
delete or the direct final notice of
deletion, we will not take further action

receive adverse comment(s), we will
withdraw the direct final notice of
deletion and it will not take effect. We
will, as appropriate, address all public
comments in a subsequent final deletion
notice based on this notice of intent to
delete. We will not institute a second
comment period on this notice of intent
to delete. Any parties interested in
commenting must do so at this time. For
additional information, see the direct

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This proposed rule would
amend three fishery management plans
to include fisheries and waters around
the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands (CNMI) and Pacific
Remote Island Areas (PRIA). These
amendments affect United States
domestic fisheries that offload or
operate in Federal waters around the
CNMI and the PRIA. These amendments
would establish new permitting and
reporting requirements for vessel
operators targeting bottomfish species
around the PRIA to improve
understanding of the ecology of these
species and the activities and harvests
of the vessel operators that target them.
They would also establish new
permitting and reporting requirements
for vessel operators targeting crustacean
species and precious corals around the
CNMI and PRIA.
DATES: Comments on the proposed rule
must be received by August 7, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed
rule, identified by 0648–AT95, should

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
NMFS Pacific Islands region
encompasses Federal waters, i.e., the
U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ),
around the Territories of Guam and
American Samoa, the State of Hawaii,
the CNMI, and the PRIA. The EEZ
extends from this inner boundary to 200
nautical miles (nm) offshore. The inner
boundary of the EEZ is the seaward
limit of each coastal state,
commonwealth, territory and
possession. The EEZ extends from this
inner boundary to 200 nautical miles
(nm) offshore. For the CNMI and PRIA,
the inner boundary of the EEZ is
extends to the shoreline, while for the
seaward limits of Guam, American
Samoa, and Hawaii, the inner boundary
of the EEZ is extend to 3 nm from the
shoreline.
The WPFMC has developed, and
NMFS has approved and implemented,
five fishery management plans that
cover pelagic species, crustaceans,
bottomfish and seamount groundfish,
precious corals, and coral reef
ecosystems fisheries. The Federal waters
surrounding the CNMI are currently not
included in the Fishery Management
Plans for the Bottomfish, Crustaceans, or
Precious Corals Fisheries of the Western
Pacific Region (Bottomfish FMP),
(Crustaceans FMP), and (Precious Corals
FMP). Similarly, Federal waters
surrounding the PRIA are not included
in the Bottomfish or Crustaceans FMPs.
Vessels have been known to fish for
bottomfish and crustaceans in the
Federal waters surrounding the CNMI
and the PRIA, although on a small scale.
While there are currently no known
fisheries operating in the PRIA, and no
precious corals fisheries operating in the
CNMI, interest may arise in the future.
These proposed amendments would
include the fisheries operating in these
areas under the FMPs.
The CNMI bottomfish fishery consists
primarily of small boats (< 30 ft, 9.1 m)
engaged in commercial and subsistence
