A. Background
BILLING CODE 6560–50–P
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5707(b), the
Administrator of General Services has
the responsibility to establish the
privately owned vehicle (POV) mileage
reimbursement rates. Separate rates are
set for airplanes, automobiles (including
trucks), and motorcycles. In order to set
these rates, GSA is required to conduct
periodic investigations, in consultation
with the Secretaries of Defense and
Transportation, and representatives of
Government employee organizations, of
the cost of travel and the operation of
POVs to employees while engaged on
official business. As required, GSA has
conducted an investigation of the costs
of operating a POA and is reporting the
cost per mile determination. The results
of the investigation have been reported
to Congress and a copy of the report
appears as an attachment to this
document. The report is being
published to comply with the
requirements of the law. GSA’s cost
studies show the Administrator of
General Services has determined the per
mile operating costs of $0.485 for
automobiles. As provided in 5 U.S.C.
5704(a)(1), the automobile
reimbursement rate cannot exceed the
single standard mileage rate established
by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The IRS has announced a new single
standard mileage rate for automobiles of
$0.485 per mile effective January 1,
2007. The cost of operating a privately
owned airplane and motorcycle remain
unchanged.

determined in cost studies conducted by
the General Services Administration
(GSA). The governing regulation is
revised to increase the mileage
allowance for the cost of operating a
privately owned automobile from
$0.445 to $0.485 per mile. The FTR and
any corresponding documents may be

This final rule is not required to be

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.,
does not apply.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does
not apply because the changes to the
Federal Travel Regulation do not
impose recordkeeping or information
collection requirements, or the
collection of information from offerors,
contractors, or members of the public
that require the approval of the Office of

U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

This final rule is also exempt from

Attachment to Preamble—Report To
Congress On The Costs Of Operating
Privately Owned Vehicles
5 U.S.C. 5707(b)(1)(A) requires that the
Administrator of General Services, in
consultation with the Secretary of Defense,
the Secretary of Transportation, and
representatives of Government employee
organizations, conduct periodic
investigations of the cost of travel and
operation of privately owned vehicles (POVs)
(airplanes, automobiles, and motorcycles) to
Government employees while on official
travel, and report the results to the Congress
at least once a year. 5 U.S.C. 5707(b)(2)(B)
further requires that the Administrator of
General Services determine the average,
actual cost per mile for the use of each type
of POV based on the results of the cost
investigation. Such figures must be reported
to the Congress within 5 working days after
the cost determination has been made in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 5707(b)(2)(C).
Pursuant to the requirements of 5 U.S.C.
5707(b)(1)(A), the General Services
Administration (GSA), in consultation with
the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of
Transportation, and representatives of
Government employee organizations,
conducted an investigation of the cost of
operating a privately owned automobile
(POA). As provided in 5 U.S.C. 5704(a)(1),
the automobile reimbursement rate cannot
exceed the single standard mileage rate
established by the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS). The IRS has announced a new single
standard mileage rate for POAs of $0.485
effective January 1, 2007. As required, GSA
is reporting the results of the investigation
and the cost per mile determination. Based
on cost studies conducted by GSA, I have
determined the per-mile operating costs of a
POA to be $0.485 for POAs. Reimbursement
for the use of a privately owned airplane and
privately owned motorcycle remains
unchanged.
This report to Congress on the cost of
operating POAs will be published in the
Federal Register.

SUMMARY: This action implements 2007
specifications and management
measures for Atlantic mackerel, squid,
and butterfish (MSB) and modifies
existing management measures.
Specifically, it implements trimester
quota allocations for the Loligo squid
fishery and establishes the protocol for
an inseason adjustment to increase the
mackerel harvest, if landings approach
harvest limits. Lastly, this final rule
clarifies, updates, and corrects existing
regulatory language that is misleading or
incorrect. This action promotes the
utilization and conservation of the MSB
resource.

Background
Regulations implementing the Fishery
Management Plan for the Atlantic
Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish
Fisheries (FMP) appear at 50 CFR part
648, subpart B, and regulations
governing foreign fishing appear at 50
CFR part 600, subpart F. This action
fulfills NMFS regulatory requirements at
§§ 648.21 and 600.516(c) to, based on
the maximum optimum yield (Max OY)
of each fishery as established by the
regulations, annually specify the
amounts of the initial optimum yield
(IOY), allowable biological catch (ABC),
domestic annual harvest (DAH), and
domestic annual processing (DAP), as
well as, where applicable, the amounts
for total allowable level of foreign
fishing (TALFF) and joint venture
processing (JVP) for the affected species
managed under the FMP. The Council
adopted 2007 MSB specifications and
management measures at its June 2006
and August 2006 meetings and
submitted them to NMFS for review and
approval. Initial submission was on
September 1, 2006, and final submission
was on October 31, 2006. A proposed
rule for 2007 MSB specifications and
management measures was published
on December 5, 2006 (71 FR 70493). The
public comment period for the proposed
rule ended on January 4, 2007. Details
concerning the Council’s development
of these measures were presented in the
preamble of the proposed rule and are
not repeated here.
Disapproval of Incidental Loligo Squid
Possession Limit for the Illex Squid
Vessels
In an effort to reduce regulatory
discarding and allow for more accurate
quantification of the removals of Loligo
squid taken in the directed Illex squid
fishery, the Council recommended
increasing the incidental Loligo squid
possession limit for vessels engaged in
the directed Illex squid fishery.
Specifically, during August closures of
the Loligo squid fishery, Illex squid
moratorium vessels fishing seaward of
the small mesh exemption line
(approximately the 50–fm (91–m) depth
contour) would have been permitted to
possess and land up to 10,000 lb (4.54
mt) of Loligo squid, provided they
possess a minimum of 10,000 lb (4.54
mt) of Illex squid on board. This
measure was recommend for 2007 only,
and the Council intended to re-assess it
for 2008.
NMFS explained at length in the
proposed rule that, while it supports the
Council’s intent to reduce regulatory
discarding of Loligo squid in the Illex
squid fishery, it was concerned about its
