Background In FR Doc. E6–20131 of November 27, 2006 (71 FR 68708), there were technical errors that we identify in the ‘‘Summary of Errors’’ section and correct in the ‘‘Correction of Errors’’ section below. II.

AGENCY: This document corrects a technical error that appeared in the final rule published in the Federal Register on November 27, 2006 entitled ‘‘Medicare Program; Notification of Hospital Discharge Appeal Rights.’’ This document is a supplement to the November 27, 2006 final rule. DATES: Effective Date: This correction notice is effective on July 1, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim Roe, (410) 786–2006. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: In the November 27, 2006 final rule, on page 68719, we included a table that contained an incorrect entry in one row, also resulting in an incorrect aggregate burden amount. This notice will correct those errors. III. Correction of Errors Make the following corrections to the November 27, 2006 final rule (71 FR 68708): 1. On page 68719, in the table— A. In the fifth column, in the third entry, change the annual burden hours from ‘‘140,834’’ to ‘‘130,000.’’ B. In the fifth column, in the fourth entry, change the annual burden hours from ‘‘2,914,168’’ to ‘‘2,903,334.’’ The revised table should read as follows: AGGREGATE HOURLY BURDEN FOR THIS REQUIREMENT Time per delivery (minutes) Notices First IM .................................................................

Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking We ordinarily publish a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register to provide a period for public comment before the provisions of a rule take effect in accordance with section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). However, we can waive this procedure if the Secretary finds, for good cause, that the notice and comment process is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, and incorporates a statement of finding and the reasons therefore in the notice. The revisions in this document merely correct inadvertent technical errors. The revisions help ensure that the rules governing the Medicare administrative appeals process are more understandable and less ambiguous and VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:24 Jan 25, 2007 Jkt 211001 11 3 60 ....................

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for the A season 
allowance of the 2007 Pacific cod sideboard limits

[[Page 3749]]

apportioned to non-American Fisheries Act (AFA) crab vessels catching 
Pacific cod for processing by the inshore component in the Central 
Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary 
to prevent exceeding the A season allowance of the 2007 Pacific cod 
sideboard limits apportioned to non-AFA crab vessels catching Pacific 
cod for processing by the inshore component in the Central Regulatory 
Area of the GOA.

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local time (A.l.t.), January 24, 
2007, until 1200 hrs, A.l.t., September 1, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Hogan, 907-586-7228.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS manages the groundfish fishery in the 
GOA exclusive economic zone according to the Fishery Management Plan 
for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North 
Pacific Fishery Management Council under authority of the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Regulations governing 
fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP appear at subpart H 
of 50 CFR part 600 and 50 CFR part 679.
    The A season allowance of 2007 Pacific cod sideboard limits 
apportioned to non-AFA crab vessels catching Pacific cod for processing 
by the inshore component in the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA is 
422 metric tons (mt) for the GOA, as established by the 2006 and 2007 
harvest specifications for groundfish of the GOA (71 FR 10870, March 3, 
2006).
    In accordance with Sec.  680.22(e)(2)(i), the Administrator, Alaska 
Region, NMFS (Regional Administrator), has determined that the A season 
allowance of the 2007 Pacific cod sideboard limits apportioned to non-
AFA crab vessels catching Pacific cod for processing by the inshore 
component in the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA will soon be 
reached. Therefore, the Regional Administrator is establishing a 
sideboard directed fishing allowance for Pacific cod as 412 mt in the 
Gulf of Alaska. The remaining 10 mt in the Gulf of Alaska will be set 
aside as bycatch to support other anticipated groundfish fisheries. In 
accordance with Sec.  680.22(e)(3), the Regional Administrator finds 
that this sideboard directed fishing allowance has been reached. 
Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific cod by 
non-AFA crab vessels catching Pacific cod for processing by the inshore 
component in the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA.
    After the effective date of this closure the maximum retainable 
amounts at Sec.  679.20(e) and (f) apply at any time during a trip.

Classification

    This action responds to the best available information recently 
obtained from the fishery. The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, 
NOAA (AA), finds good cause to waive the requirement to provide prior 
notice and opportunity for public comment pursuant to the authority set 
forth at 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as such requirement is impracticable and 
contrary to the public interest. This requirement is impracticable and 
contrary to the public interest as it would prevent NMFS from 
responding to the most recent fisheries data in a timely fashion and 
would delay the sideboard directed fishing closure of Pacific cod 
apportioned to non-AFA crab vessels catching Pacific cod for processing 
by the inshore component in the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA. 
NMFS was unable to publish a notice providing time for public comment 
because the most recent, relevant data only became available as of 
January 22, 2007.
    The AA also finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in the 
effective date of this action under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). This finding is 
based upon the reasons provided above for waiver of prior notice and 
opportunity for public comment.
    This action is required by Sec.  680.22 and is exempt from review 
under Executive Order 12866.

    Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
