ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This final rule will implement additional handling, release, and disentanglement requirements for sea turtles and other non-target species caught in the commercial shark bottom longline (BLL) fishery. These requirements increase the amount of handling, release, and disentanglement gear that are required to be on BLL vessels and are intended to reduce post hooking mortality of sea turtles and other non-target species consistent with the Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP). This final rule will also implement management measures, consistent with those recommended by the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (CFMC) and implemented by NMFS on October 28, 2005, that prohibit vessels issued HMS permits with BLL gear onboard from fishing in six distinct areas off the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, year-round. These six closures are intended to minimize adverse impacts to Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) for reefdwelling species. DATES: This final rule is effective March 9, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On January 25, 2007, the Department of Homeland Security, through 
TSA and the U.S. Coast Guard (Coast Guard) published a final rule in 
the Federal Register (72 FR 3492) making technical

[[Page 5633]]

changes to various provisions of chapter XII, title 49 (Transportation) 
of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and implementing the TWIC 
program in the maritime sector of the nation's transportation system. 
The final rule enhances port security by requiring security threat 
assessments of individuals who have unescorted access to secure areas 
and improving access control measures to prevent unauthorized 
individuals from gaining unescorted access to secure areas. The final 
rule amends existing appeal and waiver procedures, and expands the 
provisions to apply to TWIC applicants and air cargo personnel.
    This rule correction document revises a paragraph in the appeal and 
waiver process codified in part 1515, redesignates a paragraph codified 
in part 1540 procedures for security threat assessment, and revises 
text in the list of disqualifying offenses codified in part 1572. 
Finally, we re-word the definition of ``transportation security 
incident'' in Sec.  1572.103(a)(5). This definition is based on the 
definition of ``transportation security incident'' in 46 U.S.C. 
70101(6), which was amended by sec. 124 of the SAFE Port Act, Public 
Law 109-347. We are amending the rule to conform to that statute.
