Communications Act of 1934, as

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality
pertaining to the information collection
requirements in this collection.
Needs and Uses: On July 31, 2009, the
Federal Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) released an Order on
Reconsideration titled, ‘‘In the Matter of
the Procedures to Govern the Use of
Satellite Earth Stations on Board Vessels
in the 5925–6425 MHz/ 3700–4200 MHz
Bands and 14.0–14.5 GHz/11.7–12.2
GHz Bands’’ (FCC 09–63, IB Docket No.
02–10 (‘‘ESV Reconsideration Order’’). In
the ESV Reconsideration Order, the
Commission resolved various concerns
raised regarding the operational
restrictions placed on ESVs that are
designed to protect the fixed–satellite
service (FSS), operating in the C–band
and Ku–band, and the terrestrially–
based fixed service (FS), operating in
the C–band, from harmful interference.
The Commission adopted rule changes
that should provide ESV operators with
greater operational flexibility while
continuing to ensure that the other
services in these bands are protected
from harmful interference.
The information collection
requirements accounted for in this
collection are necessary to determine
the technical and legal qualifications of
applicants or licensees to operate a
station, transfer or assign a license, and
to determine whether the authorization
is in the public interest, convenience
and necessity. Without such
information, the Commission could not
determine whether to permit
respondents to provide
telecommunication services in the U.S.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic

Vessels Catching Pacific Cod for
Processing by the Inshore Component
in the Western Regulatory Area of the
Gulf of Alaska
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with RULES
SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed
fishing for Pacific cod by vessels
catching Pacific cod for processing by
the inshore component in the Western
Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska
(GOA). This action is necessary to
prevent exceeding the A season
allocation of the 2010 total allowable
catch (TAC) of Pacific cod apportioned
to vessels catching Pacific cod for
processing by the inshore component of
the Western Regulatory Area of the
GOA.
DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local
time (A.l.t.), February 19, 2010, through
1200 hrs, A.l.t., September 1, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh
Keaton, 907–586–7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
GOA exclusive economic zone
according to the Fishery Management
Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of
Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council
under authority of the MagnusonStevens 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.
The A season allocation of the 2010
TAC of Pacific cod apportioned to
vessels catching Pacific cod for
processing by the inshore component of
the Western Regulatory Area of the GOA
is 11,213 metric tons (mt) as established
by the final 2009 and 2010 harvest
specifications for groundfish of the GOA
(74 FR 7333, February 17, 2010) and
inseason adjustment (74 FR 68713,
December 29, 2010).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Regional Administrator has
determined that the A season allocation
of the 2010 TAC of Pacific cod
apportioned to vessels catching Pacific
cod for processing by the inshore
component of the Western Regulatory
Area of the GOA will soon be reached.
Therefore, the Regional Administrator is
establishing a directed fishing
allowance of 11,013 mt, and is setting
aside the remaining 200 mt as bycatch
to support other anticipated groundfish
fisheries. In accordance with
§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional
Administrator finds that this directed
fishing allowance has been reached.
Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting
directed fishing for Pacific cod by
vessels catching Pacific cod for
processing by the inshore component in
the Western Regulatory Area of the
GOA.
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
apportioned to vessels catching Pacific
cod for processing by the inshore
component of the Western Regulatory
Area of the GOA. NMFS was unable to
publish a notice providing time for
public comment because the most
recent, relevant data only became
available as of February 17, 2010.

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.
