SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background On November 26, 2008 (73 FR 72131), TSA issued a final rule to enhance the security of our Nation’s rail transportation system. This rule established security requirements for freight railroad carriers; intercity, commuter, and short-haul passenger train service providers; rail transit systems; and rail operations at certain, fixed-site facilities that ship or receive specified hazardous materials by rail. As published, the regulatory text in the final rule contains several incorrect references to other provisions in the rule. First, the rule as published, in stating that §§ 1580.100, 1580.101, and 1580.105 apply to a freight railroad carrier hosting a passenger operation described in § 1580.1, incorrectly cites to nonexistent paragraph (d) in § 1580.1, instead of paragraph (a)(4). Second, § 1580.103(g), which requires each person described in paragraph (a) of that section to provide a telephone number for TSA to use to request location and PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 shipping information, incorrectly refers to information required in paragraph (a)(4) of § 1580.103 instead of paragraph (c). Third, § 1580.103(g)(2), in stating that a covered person may not provide a telephone number that requires a call back (such as an answering service, answering machine, or beeper device) to meet the requirements of § 1580.103, incorrectly refers to paragraph (f) of that section instead of paragraph (g). Fourth, § 1580.107(a), in referencing the paragraph that contains an exception to the requirements imposed upon a rail hazardous materials shipper transferring to a rail car containing rail securitysensitive materials to a railroad carrier, incorrectly refers to paragraph (e) of § 1580.107 instead of paragraph (g). This final rule correction replaces the incorrect citations with the correct ones. Finally, the telephone numbers provided in §§ 1580.105(b) and 1580.203(b) of the final rule for reporting significant security concerns to DHS have been changed. The new telephone number at the TSA Freedom Center designated to receive reports of significant security concerns is 1–866– 615–5150.

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. AGENCY: SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific cod by American Fisheries Act (AFA) trawl catcher processors in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). This action is necessary as the 2009 Pacific cod directed fishing allowance for AFA trawl catcher processors in the BSAI has been reached.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS manages the groundfish fishery in the BSAI exclusive economic zone according to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (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. PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 23657 The 2009 Pacific cod total allowable catch (TAC) allocated to AFA trawl catcher processors in the BSAI is 3,626 metric tons (mt) as established by the final 2009 and 2010 harvest specifications for groundfish in the BSAI (74 FR 7359, February 17, 2009). In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i), the Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS (Regional Administrator), has determined that the 2009 Pacific cod TAC allocated to AFA catcher processors in the BSAI will be taken as incidental catch in directed fisheries for other groundfish fisheries. Therefore, the Regional Administrator is establishing a directed fishing allowance of 0 mt and in accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(iii), finds that this directed fishing allowance has been reached. Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific cod by AFA trawl catcher processors in the BSAI. After the effective date of this closure the maximum retainable amounts at § 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 closure of Pacific cod by AFA trawl catcher processors in the BSAI. NMFS was unable to publish a notice providing time for public comment because the most recent, relevant data only became available as of May 12, 2009. 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 § 679.20 and is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866. Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. E:\FR\FM\20MYR1.SGM 20MYR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    On November 26, 2008 (73 FR 72131), TSA issued a final rule to 
enhance the security of our Nation's rail transportation system. This 
rule established security requirements for freight railroad carriers; 
intercity, commuter, and short-haul passenger train service providers; 
rail transit systems; and rail operations at certain, fixed-site 
facilities that ship or receive specified hazardous materials by rail. 
As published, the regulatory text in the final rule contains several 
incorrect references to other provisions in the rule. First, the rule 
as published, in stating that Sec. Sec.  1580.100, 1580.101, and 
1580.105 apply to a freight railroad carrier hosting a passenger 
operation described in Sec.  1580.1, incorrectly cites to nonexistent 
paragraph (d) in Sec.  1580.1, instead of paragraph (a)(4). Second, 
Sec.  1580.103(g), which requires each person described in paragraph 
(a) of that section to provide a telephone number for TSA to use to 
request location and shipping information, incorrectly refers to 
information required in paragraph (a)(4) of Sec.  1580.103 instead of 
paragraph (c). Third, Sec.  1580.103(g)(2), in stating that a covered 
person may not provide a telephone number that requires a call back 
(such as an answering service, answering machine, or beeper device) to 
meet the requirements of Sec.  1580.103, incorrectly refers to 
paragraph (f) of that section instead of paragraph (g). Fourth, Sec.  
1580.107(a), in referencing the paragraph that contains an exception to 
the requirements imposed upon a rail hazardous materials shipper 
transferring to a rail car containing rail security-sensitive materials 
to a railroad carrier, incorrectly refers to paragraph (e) of Sec.  
1580.107 instead of paragraph (g). This final rule correction replaces 
the incorrect citations with the correct ones.
    Finally, the telephone numbers provided in Sec. Sec.  1580.105(b) 
and 1580.203(b) of the final rule for reporting significant security 
concerns to DHS have been changed. The new telephone number at the TSA 
Freedom Center designated to receive reports of significant security 
concerns is 1-866-615-5150. This final rule correction inserts the 
correct telephone number in the rule text.
