ACTION: Correction to a final rule; request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: NMFS is adjusting the 2008 total allowable catch (TAC) amounts for sablefish in the West Yakutat and Southeast Outside Districts. This action is necessary because NMFS has determined that these TACs were incorrectly specified in the Federal Register on February 27, 2008 (73 FR 10562). This action will ensure the sablefish TAC does not exceed the appropriate amount based on the best available scientific information for sablefish in the West Yakutat and Southeast Outside Districts.

for the Department. This action is taken on the Department's 
initiative.

DATES: Effective Date: March 19, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    In 49 CFR 1.26, the order of succession to act as Secretary of 
Transportation is set forth as follows: The Deputy Secretary, Under 
Secretary of Transportation for Policy, General Counsel, Assistant 
Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs, Assistant Secretary 
for Transportation Policy, Assistant Secretary for Budget and Programs, 
Assistant Secretary for Governmental Affairs, Assistant Secretary for 
Administration, Federal Aviation Administrator, Federal Aviation 
Administration Regional Administrator, Southwest Region, Federal 
Aviation Administrator Regional Administrator, Great Lakes Region.
    Section 102(e) of title 49, United States Code, authorizes the 
Secretary to prescribe the order of succession for the Department's 
Assistant Secretaries and the General Counsel. We are updating our 
Secretarial Order of Succession to reflect recent Secretarial decisions 
concerning the order of succession for Assistant Secretaries of 
Transportation.
    As this rule relates solely to Departmental organization, 
procedures, and practice, notice and comment on it are unnecessary 
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b). In addition, the Secretary finds that security 
and continuity of operations

[[Page 14728]]

interests constitute good cause for making this rule effective upon 
publication pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(2).

Regulatory Analyses and Notices

A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures

    This final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action 
under Executive Order 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Process''), and 
the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the Department of 
Transportation (44 FR 11034). There are no costs associated with this 
rule.

B. Executive Order 13132

    This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles 
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132 (``Federalism''). This 
final rule does not have a substantial direct effect on, or sufficient 
federalism implications for, the States, nor would it limit the 
policymaking discretion of the States. Therefore, the consultation 
requirements of Executive Order 13132 do not apply.

C. Executive Order 13175

    This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles 
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 (``Consultation and 
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). Because this final rule 
does not significantly or uniquely affect the communities of the Indian 
tribal governments and does not impose substantial direct compliance 
costs, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive Order 
13175 do not apply.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule 
under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553), the provisions 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.

E. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This final rule contains no information collection requirements 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Department has determined that the requirements of Title II of 
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 do not apply to this 
rulemaking.
