NMFS VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:13 Oct 17, 2008 Jkt 217001 also proposes to prohibit a catcher vessel from landing a cumulative amount of unprocessed pollock from any Gulf of Alaska (GOA) reporting area that exceeds 300,000 lb multiplied by the number of calendar days the pollock fishery is open to directed fishing in a season. The objective of this proposed rule is to prevent catcher vessels from circumventing the intent of current trip limit regulations when making deliveries of pollock. Amending the current trip limit regulation to limit legal opportunities for a vessel to exceed 300,000 lb of pollock caught in a day, would continue to disperse catches of pollock in a manner that is consistent with the intent of Steller sea lion protection measures in the GOA.

SUMMARY: DoD is proposing to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition

considered in the formation of the final rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    This proposed rule reinforces requirements for use and maintenance 
of accurate contractor information, to permit proper identification and 
tracking of contract data through DoD's business processes. The 
proposed changes address requirements for--
     Ensuring that contract documents contain contractor 
information that is accurate and consistent with the information in the 
CCR database;
     Confirming the accuracy of a contractor's CCR information 
before exercising a contract option; and
     Proper assignment of procurement instrument identification 
numbers.
    This rule was subject to Office of Management and Budget review 
under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    DoD does not expect this proposed rule to have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the 
meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., 
because the proposed rule reinforces existing requirements for accuracy 
of contract information. Therefore, DoD has not performed an initial 
regulatory flexibility analysis. DoD invites comments from small 
businesses and other interested parties. DoD also will consider 
comments from small entities concerning the affected DFARS subparts in 
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should be submitted 
separately and should cite DFARS Case 2008-D010.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply, because the proposed 
rule does not impose any information collection requirements that 
require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 
U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

the CCR database.
