SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final
rule updates the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) section that sets forth
authorities delegated from the Secretary
of Transportation to other Departmental
officials. Specifically, all authorities
vested in the Secretary by the Rail
Safety Improvement Act of 2008, Div. A
of Public Law 110–432; 122 Stat. 4848
et seq. (Oct. 16, 2008), are delegated to
the Administrator of FRA. This final
rule also delegates the authorities vested
in the Secretary by the Passenger Rail
Investment and Improvement Act of
2008, Div. B of Public Law 110–432; 122
Stat. 4907 et seq. (Oct. 16, 2008), to the
Administrator of FRA, except for the
authorities vested in the Secretary under
one title of that Act, which are delegated
in this final rule to the Administrator of
FTA.
Part 1 of Title 49 of the CFR describes
the organization of DOT and provides
for the performance of duties imposed
upon, and the exercise of powers vested
in, the Secretary. This final rule corrects
a typographical error in section 1
(‘‘Purpose’’) of this part.
Section 1.49 of this part delegates to
the Administrator of FRA the authority
to carry out various functions and
activities related to the mission of the
agency. This rule delegates all
authorities vested in the Secretary by
the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008
to the Administrator of FRA. In
addition, this rule delegates the
authorities vested in the Secretary by
Titles I through V of the Passenger Rail
Investment and Improvement Act of
2008 (122 Stat. 4907 et seq.) to the
Administrator of FRA. These titles
address intercity rail passenger services
and related programs. This final rule
adds paragraphs (oo) and (pp) to 49 CFR
1.49 to reflect these delegations to the
Administrator of FRA.
Section 1.51 of this part delegates to
the Administrator of FTA the authority
to carry out various functions and
activities related to the mission of the
agency. This rule delegates the authority
vested in the Secretary by Title VI of the
Passenger Rail Investment and
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
Improvement Act of 2008 (122 Stat.
4968), as it relates to capital and
preventive maintenance projects for the
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit
Authority, to the Administrator of FTA.
The FTA is responsible for mass
transportation programs. This rule adds
paragraph (j) to 49 CFR 1.51 to reflect
these delegations.
Since these amendments relate to
DOT management, organization,
procedure, and practice, notice and
comment are unnecessary under 5
U.S.C. 553(b). Further, since the final
rule expedites DOT’s ability to meet the
statutory intent of the applicable laws
and regulations covered by this
delegation, the Secretary finds good
cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) for the
final rule to be effective on the date of
publication in the Federal Register.
Regulatory Analysis and Notices
A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures
The final rule is not considered a
significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866 and the
Regulatory Policies and Procedures of
DOT (44 FR 11034). There are no costs
associated with this final rule because it
simply delegates authority from one
DOT official to another.
B. 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’’). For
the reasons previously stated, this final
rule does not significantly or uniquely
affect the communities of the Indian
tribal governments and does not impose
substantial direct compliance costs;
therefore, the funding and consultation
requirements of Executive Order 13175
do not apply.
C. 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. We also do not
believe this rule would impose any
costs on small entities because it simply
delegates authority from one DOT
official to another. Therefore, I certify
this final rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule contains no
information collection requirements
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520).

Fisheries off West Coast States;
Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery;
Suspension of the Primary Pacific
Whiting Season for the Shore-based
Sector South of 42≥ North Latitude
erowe on PROD1PC63 with RULES
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Fishing restrictions.
SUMMARY: NMFS announces the
suspension of the primary season for
Pacific whiting (whiting) fishery for the
shore-based sector south of 42° N. lat. at
noon local time (l.t.) May 14, 2009. ‘‘Per
trip’’ limits for whiting were reinstated
until 0001 hours June 15, 2009, at which
time the primary season for the shorebased sector opens coastwide. This
action is authorized by regulations
implementing the Pacific Coast
Groundfish Fishery Management Plan
(FMP), which governs the groundfish
fishery off Washington, Oregon, and
California. This action is intended to
keep the harvest of whiting at the 2009
allocation levels.
DATES: Effective from noon l.t. May 14,
2009, until 0001 hours June 15, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Becky Renko at 206–526–6110.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
regulations at 50 CFR 660.323(a)
established separate allocations for the
catcher/processor, mothership, and
shore-based sectors of the whiting
fishery. The 2009 commercial Optimum
Yield (OY) for Pacific whiting is 81,939
mt. This is calculated by deducting the
50,000–mt tribal set-aside and 4,000–mt
for research catch and bycatch in nongroundfish fisheries from the 135,939
mt total catch OY. Each sector receives
a portion of the commercial OY, with
the catcher/processors getting 34
percent (27,859 mt), motherships getting
24 percent (19,665 mt), and the shorebased sector getting 42 percent (34,414
VerDate Nov<24>2008
14:04 Jun 04, 2009
Jkt 217001
mt). The regulations further divide the
shore-based allocation so that no more
than 5 percent (1,721 mt) of the shorebased allocation may be taken in waters
off the State of California before the
primary season begins north of 42° N.
lat.
The primary season for the shorebased sector is the period or periods
when the large-scale target fishery is
conducted, and when ‘‘per trip’’ limits
are not in effect for vessels targeting
Pacific whiting with mid-water gear.
Because whiting migrate from south to
north during the fishing year, the shorebased primary whiting season begins
earlier south of 42° N. lat. than north.
For 2009: the primary season for the
shore-based sector between 42°-40°30’
N. lat. began on April 1; south of 40°30’
N. lat., the primary season began on
April 15; and the fishery north of 42° N.
lat. is scheduled to begin June 15.
Although the fishery opened in April,
the vessels choose to delay fishing until
May 1, 2009.
Because the 1,721 mt allocation for
the early season fishery off California
was estimated to be reached, NMFS is
announcing the suspension of the
primary whiting season south of 42° N.
lat. Regulations at 50 CFR 660.323 (b)(4)
allow this action to be taken. The
20,000–lb (9,072 kg) trip limit that was
in place before the start of the southern
primary season was reinstated remains
in effect until the primary June 15. A
trip limit of 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) of
whiting is in effect year-round (unless
landings of whiting are prohibited) for
vessels that fish in the Eureka area
shoreward of the 100–fm(183–m)
contour at any time during a fishing
trip. This smaller limit is intended to
minimize incidental catch of Chinook
salmon, which are more likely to be
caught shallower than 100 fm (183 m)
in the Eureka area.
To prevent an allocation from being
exceeded, regulations at 50 CFR 660.323
(e) allow closure of the commercial
whiting fisheries by actual notice to the
fishery participants. Actual notice
includes e-mail, internet, phone, fax,
letter or press release. NMFS provided
actual notice by e-mail, internet, and fax
on May 13, 2009.
NMFS Action
This action announces achievement of
the shore-based sector allocation
specified at 50 CFR 660.323(a) for the
fishery south of 42° N. lat. The best
available information on May 13, 2009,
indicated that 1,119 metric tons (mt) of
whiting was taken through May 11,2009
and that the 1,721 mt shore-based
allocation for the early season fishery
south of 42° N. lat would be reached by
PO 00000
Frm 00051

Sfmt 4700
26983
noon May 14, 2009. For the reasons
stated here and in accordance with the
regulations at 50 CFR 660.323(b)(4),
NMFS herein announces: Effective noon
May 14, 2009 until 0001 l.t., June 15,
2009, the primary whiting season south
of 42° N. lat is suspended. No more than
20,000–lb (9,072 kg) of whiting may be
taken and retained, possessed or landed
by a catcher vessel participating in the
shore-based sector of the whiting
fishery. If a vessel fishes shoreward of
the 100 fm (183 m) contour in the
Eureka area (43° – 40° 30’ N. lat.) at any
time during a fishing trip, the 10,000–
lb (4,536 kg) trip limit applies.
Classification
This action is authorized by the
regulations implementing the
groundfish FMP. The determination to
take these actions is based on the most
recent data available. The aggregate data
upon which the determinations are
based are available for public inspection
at the office of the Regional
Administrator (see ADDRESSES) during
business hours. The Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries (AA),
NMFS, finds good cause to waive the
requirement to provide prior notice and
opportunity for comment on this action
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 (3)(b)(B),
because providing prior notice and
opportunity would be impracticable. It
would be impracticable because if this
restriction were delayedin order to
provide notice and comment, it would
allow the allocation for the shore-based
fishery south of 42° N. lat. to be
exceeded. Similarly, the AA finds good
cause to waive the 30–day delay in
effectiveness requirement of 5 U.S.C.
553 (d)(3), as such a delay would cause
the fishery south of 42° N. lat. to exceed
its allocation. Allowing the early season
fishery to continue would result in a
disproportionate shift in effort, which
could result in greater impacts on
Endangered Species Act listed Chinook
salmon and overfished groundfish
species that had been considered when
the 2009 Pacific Coast groundfish
harvest specifications were established.
This action is taken under the
authority of 50 CFR 660.323(b)(4), and
is exempt from review under Executive
Order 12866.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

Organization and Delegation of Powers and Duties: Federal
Railroad Administrator and Federal Transit Administrator
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule delegates all of the authorities vested in the
Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) by the Rail Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 to the Administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA). This final rule also delegates the authorities vested in
[[Page 26982]]
the Secretary by the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of
2008 to the Administrator of FRA, except for the authorities vested in
the Secretary by Title VI of that Act, which are delegated in this
final rule to the Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration
(FTA).
DATES: Effective Date: June 5, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bonnie Angermann, Office of General
Counsel, Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE.,
Washington, DC 20590; Telephone (202) 366-9166.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule updates the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) section that sets forth authorities delegated from
the Secretary of Transportation to other Departmental officials.
Specifically, all authorities vested in the Secretary by the Rail
Safety Improvement Act of 2008, Div. A of Public Law 110-432; 122 Stat.
4848 et seq. (Oct. 16, 2008), are delegated to the Administrator of
FRA. This final rule also delegates the authorities vested in the
Secretary by the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008,
Div. B of Public Law 110-432; 122 Stat. 4907 et seq. (Oct. 16, 2008),
to the Administrator of FRA, except for the authorities vested in the
Secretary under one title of that Act, which are delegated in this
final rule to the Administrator of FTA.
Part 1 of Title 49 of the CFR describes the organization of DOT and
provides for the performance of duties imposed upon, and the exercise
of powers vested in, the Secretary. This final rule corrects a
typographical error in section 1 (``Purpose'') of this part.
Section 1.49 of this part delegates to the Administrator of FRA the
authority to carry out various functions and activities related to the
mission of the agency. This rule delegates all authorities vested in
the Secretary by the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 to the
Administrator of FRA. In addition, this rule delegates the authorities
vested in the Secretary by Titles I through V of the Passenger Rail
Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (122 Stat. 4907 et seq.) to the
Administrator of FRA. These titles address intercity rail passenger
services and related programs. This final rule adds paragraphs (oo) and
(pp) to 49 CFR 1.49 to reflect these delegations to the Administrator
of FRA.
Section 1.51 of this part delegates to the Administrator of FTA the
authority to carry out various functions and activities related to the
mission of the agency. This rule delegates the authority vested in the
Secretary by Title VI of the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement
Act of 2008 (122 Stat. 4968), as it relates to capital and preventive
maintenance projects for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit
Authority, to the Administrator of FTA. The FTA is responsible for mass
transportation programs. This rule adds paragraph (j) to 49 CFR 1.51 to
reflect these delegations.
Since these amendments relate to DOT management, organization,
procedure, and practice, notice and comment are unnecessary under 5
U.S.C. 553(b). Further, since the final rule expedites DOT's ability to
meet the statutory intent of the applicable laws and regulations
covered by this delegation, the Secretary finds good cause under 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3) for the final rule to be effective on the date of
publication in the Federal Register.
Regulatory Analysis and Notices
A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
The final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866 and the Regulatory Policies and Procedures
of DOT (44 FR 11034). There are no costs associated with this final
rule because it simply delegates authority from one DOT official to
another.
B. 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''). For the reasons
previously stated, this final rule does not significantly or uniquely
affect the communities of the Indian tribal governments and does not
impose substantial direct compliance costs; therefore, the funding and
consultation requirements of Executive Order 13175 do not apply.
C. 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. We
also do not believe this rule would impose any costs on small entities
because it simply delegates authority from one DOT official to another.
Therefore, I certify this final rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule contains no information collection requirements
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
DOT has determined that the requirements of Title II of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 do not apply to this rulemaking.
