to account for the expansion of the
Pacific sardine stock northward to
include waters off the northwest Pacific
coast and for the incorporation of data
from the Mexican sardine fishery.
Information on the fishery and the stock
assessment are found in the report
Assessment of Pacific Sardine Stock for
U.S. Management in 2006 (see
ADDRESSES).
The formula in the FMP uses the
following factors to
determine the harvest guideline:
1. The biomass of sardines age one
and above. For 2006,
this estimate is 1,061,391 mt.
2. The cutoff. This is the biomass
level below which no
commercial fishery is allowed. The
FMP established this level at 150,000
mt.
3. The portion of the sardine biomass
that is in U.S. waters. For 2006, this
estimate is 87 percent. It is based on the
average larval distribution obtained
from scientific cruises and the
distribution of the resource obtained
from logbooks of aerial fish-spotters.
4. The harvest fraction. This is the
percentage of the biomass above 150,000
mt that may be harvested. The fraction
varies from 5 to 15 percent, depending
on current ocean temperatures. The
higher fraction is used for warmer ocean
temperatures, which favor production of
Pacific sardine, and the lower fraction is
used for cooler temperatures. Based on
the last three seasons of sea surface
temperatures at Scripps Pier, California,
a fraction of 15 percent was used for
2006.
Based on the estimated biomass of
1,061,391 mt and the formula in the
FMP, a harvest guideline of 118,937 mt
was determined for the fishery
beginning January 1, 2006.
The recently established Amendment
11 to the CPS FMP changed the
framework for the annual
apportionment of the Pacific sardine
harvest guideline along the U.S. Pacific
coast and set up a new long-term
allocation scheme. Based on this new
long-term allocation scheme, 35 percent
of the harvest guideline is released
coastwide on January 1; 40 percent of
the harvest guideline, plus any portion
not harvested from the initial 35 percent
is released coastwide on July 1; and on
September 15 the remaining 25 percent,
plus any portion not harvested from the
earlier releases is then available for
harvest.
If the total harvest guideline or these
apportionment levels for Pacific sardine
are reached at any time, the Pacific
sardine fishery shall be closed until
either it re-opens per the allocation
scheme or the beginning of the next
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
fishing season. The Regional
Administrator shall announce in the
Federal Register the date of the closure
of the directed fishery for Pacific
sardine.
Normally, an incidental landing
allowance of sardine in landings of
other CPS is set at the beginning of the
fishing season. The incidental
allowance would become effective if the
harvest guideline is reached and the
fishery closed. A landing allowance of
sardine up to 45 percent by weight of
any landing of CPS is authorized by the
FMP. An incidental allowance prevents
fishermen from being cited for a
violation when sardine occur in schools
of other CPS, and it minimizes bycatch
of sardine if sardine are inadvertently
caught while fishing for other CPS.
Sardine landed with other species also
requires sorting at the processing plant,
which adds to processing costs. Mixed
species in the same load may damage
smaller fish.
Classification
These specifications are issued under
the authority of, and NMFS has
preliminarily determined that it is in
accordance with, the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, the FMP, and the regulations
implementing the FMP.
This final rule is exempt from review
under Executive Order 12866.
The Chief Counsel for Regulation of
the Department of Commerce certified
to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the
Small Business Administration during
the proposed rule stage that this action
would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The factual basis for the
certification was published in the
proposed rule and is not repeated here.
No comments were received regarding
this certification. As a result, a
regulatory flexibility analysis was not
required and none was prepared.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: NMFS issues a final rule to
implement revision of the annual
economic data reports (EDRs)
submission deadline from May 1 to June
28. This action is necessary to provide
adequate time for crab harvesters and
processors participating in the Bering
Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab
Rationalization Program (CR Program) to
submit accurate and complete data on
an EDR for the previous fishing year.
This action is intended to promote the
goals and objectives of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act).
Effective on July 5, 2006.

and NMFS assess the success of the CR
Program and develop amendments to
the CR Program. An EDR contains cost,
revenue, ownership, and employment
data. These data are collected annually
from the crab harvesting and processing
sectors, including owners and lessees of
catcher vessels, catcher/processors, and
owners and operators of shoreside and
floating processors. The data are used to
study the economic impacts of the CR
Program on harvesters, processors, and
communities. Data submission is
mandatory.
An individual EDR is required for
both historical data and annual data and
for each of four categories of
participants in the CR Program fisheries:
catcher vessel, catcher/processor,
stationary floating crab processor, and
shoreside crab processor. This rule
applies only to the annual EDR due
date.
Need for Action
Originally, May 1 was chosen as the
EDR submission deadline because
NMFS estimated that data records
would be readily available after the
April 15 income tax filing deadline.
However, several individuals have
reported that a May 1 deadline for
annual EDRs does not allow enough
time for preparers to match EDR data to
comprehensive and accurate financial
documentation, such as financial
statements and tax returns. When
preparers request tax extensions, tax
returns and statements are seldom
complete by May 1. Even if taxes were
submitted by April 15, EDR preparers
have only 2 weeks to gather tax forms
from preparers, complete the EDRs, and
file them by May 1. This short period
leaves little time to complete EDR data
entry fields and could adversely affect
the quality of data reported on EDRs.
The EDR data are used to study the
economic impacts of the CR Program on
harvesters, processors, and
communities. Extending the EDR
submittal deadline will result in
improved data quality (improved utility,
objectivity, and integrity of the data);
improved usefulness of the data to its
intended users; help to ensure that
accurate, reliable, and unbiased
information is provided; and ease the
submitters’ burden to timely compile
and submit the information.
Timely submission of a completed
annual EDR is a condition to receiving
any annual CR Program crab permit
from the NMFS Restricted Access
Management (RAM) Program office.
Providing additional time to file EDRs
should not delay issuance of annual CR
Program individual fishing and
processing permits, Registered Crab

Receiver permits, Federal Crab Vessel

will issue all annual CR Program crab
permits approximately one month after
the June 28 deadline.
Response to Comments on the Proposed
Rule (71 FR 25808, May 2, 2006)
NMFS received 2 letters of comment
on the proposed rule. The following
summarizes and responds to these
comments.
Comment 1: A commenter contended
that industry members provide NMFS
with inaccurate and biased information.
The commenter also stated that NMFS
must do more to ensure accuracy.
Response: Industry members have
significant incentives to submit accurate
and complete information. The
economic data collection program
requires submitters’ participation in
audits. Anyone who submits fraudulent
or inaccurate data risks civil and
criminal enforcement penalties.
Comment 2: A commenter stated
support for the reporting deadline
change, observing that it is the only way
to avoid having most of the industry out
of compliance.
Response: NMFS agrees.
NMFS has considered the comments,
but determined they do not provide any
reason to reconsider or change the
proposed rule.
Classification
The Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS (Regional Administrator), has
determined that this final rule is
necessary for the conservation and
management of the BSAI crab fisheries.
The Regional Administrator also has
determined that this final rule is
consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens
Act and other applicable laws.
This final rule has been determined to
be not significant for the purposes of
Executive Order 12866.
NMFS prepared a final regulatory
flexibility analysis (FRFA) as required
by section 603 of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act. The FRFA describes the
economic impact this rule would have
on small entities. A description and
objective of the action and the legal
basis for this action are contained at the
beginning of the preamble and in the
SUMMARY section of this document. A
copy of the FRFA is available from
NMFS (see ADDRESSES). The following
summarizes the FRFA.
The FRFA evaluates the annual EDR
submittal deadline revision impacts on
small entities. In addition, the FRFA
addresses the Regulatory Flexibility Act
of 1980, as amended by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 601 612).
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

The FRFA specifically addresses the
section 604(a) requirements.
The EDRs require data from small
entity fishing operations as identified by
the Small Business Administration. This
action applies to 311 entities, consisting
of 275 catcher vessels, 12 catcher/
processors, 20 shoreside processors, and
4 stationary floating crab processors.
This action also applies to 6 Western
Alaska Community Development Quota
(CDQ) groups, which are considered
small entities. Each of these CDQ groups
is organized as a not-for-profit entity,
and none is dominant in its field.
Approximately 238 small entities own
crab harvesting vessels or crab catcher/
processors. Eight processors qualify as
small entities.
Compared with the current fishery,
the number of small entities required to
submit EDRs is anticipated to decrease
dramatically over time. This decrease
could result from BSAI crab operations
consolidation, BSAI crab buyback
program fleet reduction, and
cooperatives formation. Most of the EDR
historical data were collected during
this first year of the CR Program as a
one-time submission. After the
submission of historical data, small
entities continuing to participate in the
crab fisheries are required to submit an
annual EDR. The number of crab
harvesting small entities is anticipated
to shrink from pre-quota fishery
numbers.
This final rule contains a collectionof-information requirement subject to
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that
has been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
Control Number 0648 0518. Public
reporting burden per individual
response is estimated to average 7.5
hours for annual catcher vessel EDRs;
12.5 hours for annual catcher/processor
EDRs; 10 hours for annual stationary
floating crab processor EDRs; and 10
hours for annual shoreside processor
EDRs.
Response time estimates include the
time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing
the collection of information. Send
comments regarding this burden
estimate, or any other aspect of this data
collection, including suggestions for
reducing the burden, to NMFS (see
ADDRESSES) and by e-mail to
DavidlRostker@omb.eop.gov, or fax to
202–395–7285.
Notwithstanding any other provision
of the law, no person is required to
respond to, nor shall any person be
subject to a penalty for failure to comply
with, a collection of information subject

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 5, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
to the requirements of the PRA, unless
that collection of information displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
This rule does not duplicate, overlap,
or conflict with other Federal
regulations.
This action does not have any adverse
impacts on regulated small entities.
The Assistant Administrator for
Fisheries, NOAA (AA) finds good cause
to waive the 30-day delay in effective
date under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). The delay
normally provides affected persons time
to prepare for compliance with the
requirements of the rule. The AA has
determined that it is in the public
interest that the date change take effect
immediately. This final rule does not
change existing regulatory requirements
specifying EDR content, so affected
persons will not require time to prepare
for compliance with new substantive
requirements regarding EDR content.
This final rule extends the filing
deadline, and affected persons do not
Location
need additional time to prepare for
compliance with the new deadline.
Small Entity Compliance Guide
NMFS will post a small entity
compliance guide on the Internet at
https://www.fakr.noaa.gov to satisfy the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 which requires a
plain language guide to assist small
entities in complying with this rule.
Contact NMFS to request a hard copy of
the guide (see ADDRESSES).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The CR Program includes a comprehensive economic data collection
requirement to help the North Pacific Fishery Management Council
[[Page 38113]]
and NMFS assess the success of the CR Program and develop amendments to
the CR Program. An EDR contains cost, revenue, ownership, and
employment data. These data are collected annually from the crab
harvesting and processing sectors, including owners and lessees of
catcher vessels, catcher/processors, and owners and operators of
shoreside and floating processors. The data are used to study the
economic impacts of the CR Program on harvesters, processors, and
communities. Data submission is mandatory.
An individual EDR is required for both historical data and annual
data and for each of four categories of participants in the CR Program
fisheries: catcher vessel, catcher/processor, stationary floating crab
processor, and shoreside crab processor. This rule applies only to the
annual EDR due date.
Need for Action
Originally, May 1 was chosen as the EDR submission deadline because
NMFS estimated that data records would be readily available after the
April 15 income tax filing deadline. However, several individuals have
reported that a May 1 deadline for annual EDRs does not allow enough
time for preparers to match EDR data to comprehensive and accurate
financial documentation, such as financial statements and tax returns.
When preparers request tax extensions, tax returns and statements are
seldom complete by May 1. Even if taxes were submitted by April 15, EDR
preparers have only 2 weeks to gather tax forms from preparers,
complete the EDRs, and file them by May 1. This short period leaves
little time to complete EDR data entry fields and could adversely
affect the quality of data reported on EDRs.
The EDR data are used to study the economic impacts of the CR
Program on harvesters, processors, and communities. Extending the EDR
submittal deadline will result in improved data quality (improved
utility, objectivity, and integrity of the data); improved usefulness
of the data to its intended users; help to ensure that accurate,
reliable, and unbiased information is provided; and ease the
submitters' burden to timely compile and submit the information.
Timely submission of a completed annual EDR is a condition to
receiving any annual CR Program crab permit from the NMFS Restricted
Access Management (RAM) Program office. Providing additional time to
file EDRs should not delay issuance of annual CR Program individual
fishing and processing permits, Registered Crab Receiver permits,
Federal Crab Vessel permits, and cooperative permits. RAM will issue
all annual CR Program crab permits approximately one month after the
June 28 deadline.
Response to Comments on the Proposed Rule (71 FR 25808, May 2, 2006)
NMFS received 2 letters of comment on the proposed rule. The
following summarizes and responds to these comments.
Comment 1: A commenter contended that industry members provide NMFS
with inaccurate and biased information. The commenter also stated that
NMFS must do more to ensure accuracy.
Response: Industry members have significant incentives to submit

requires submitters' participation in audits. Anyone who submits
fraudulent or inaccurate data risks civil and criminal enforcement
penalties.
Comment 2: A commenter stated support for the reporting deadline
change, observing that it is the only way to avoid having most of the
industry out of compliance.
Response: NMFS agrees.
NMFS has considered the comments, but determined they do not
provide any reason to reconsider or change the proposed rule.

The Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS (Regional Administrator),
has determined that this final rule is necessary for the conservation
and management of the BSAI crab fisheries. The Regional Administrator
also has determined that this final rule is consistent with the
Magnuson-Stevens Act and other applicable laws.
This final rule has been determined to be not significant for the
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
NMFS prepared a final regulatory flexibility analysis (FRFA) as
required by section 603 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FRFA
describes the economic impact this rule would have on small entities. A
description and objective of the action and the legal basis for this
action are contained at the beginning of the preamble and in the
SUMMARY section of this document. A copy of the FRFA is available from
NMFS (see ADDRESSES). The following summarizes the FRFA.
The FRFA evaluates the annual EDR submittal deadline revision
impacts on small entities. In addition, the FRFA addresses the
Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 601 612). The
FRFA specifically addresses the section 604(a) requirements.
The EDRs require data from small entity fishing operations as
identified by the Small Business Administration. This action applies to
311 entities, consisting of 275 catcher vessels, 12 catcher/processors,
20 shoreside processors, and 4 stationary floating crab processors.
This action also applies to 6 Western Alaska Community Development
Quota (CDQ) groups, which are considered small entities. Each of these
CDQ groups is organized as a not-for-profit entity, and none is
dominant in its field. Approximately 238 small entities own crab
harvesting vessels or crab catcher/processors. Eight processors qualify
as small entities.
Compared with the current fishery, the number of small entities
required to submit EDRs is anticipated to decrease dramatically over
time. This decrease could result from BSAI crab operations
consolidation, BSAI crab buyback program fleet reduction, and
cooperatives formation. Most of the EDR historical data were collected
during this first year of the CR Program as a one-time submission.
After the submission of historical data, small entities continuing to
participate in the crab fisheries are required to submit an annual EDR.
The number of crab harvesting small entities is anticipated to shrink
from pre-quota fishery numbers.
This final rule contains a collection-of-information requirement
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that has been approved by
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under Control Number 0648
0518. Public reporting burden per individual response is estimated to
average 7.5 hours for annual catcher vessel EDRs; 12.5 hours for annual
catcher/processor EDRs; 10 hours for annual stationary floating crab
processor EDRs; and 10 hours for annual shoreside processor EDRs.
Response time estimates include the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden
estimate, or any other aspect of this data collection, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, to NMFS (see ADDRESSES) and by e-
mail to David--Rostker@omb.eop.gov, or fax to 202-395-7285.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject
[[Page 38114]]
to the requirements of the PRA, unless that collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
This rule does not duplicate, overlap, or conflict with other
Federal regulations.
This action does not have any adverse impacts on regulated small
entities.
The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA (AA) finds good
cause to waive the 30-day delay in effective date under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3). The delay normally provides affected persons time to prepare
for compliance with the requirements of the rule. The AA has determined
that it is in the public interest that the date change take effect

requirements specifying EDR content, so affected persons will not
require time to prepare for compliance with new substantive
requirements regarding EDR content. This final rule extends the filing
deadline, and affected persons do not need additional time to prepare
for compliance with the new deadline.
Small Entity Compliance Guide
NMFS will post a small entity compliance guide on the Internet at
https://www.fakr.noaa.gov to satisfy the Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 which requires a plain language guide
to assist small entities in complying with this rule. Contact NMFS to
request a hard copy of the guide (see ADDRESSES).
