This is a
summary of the Commission’s Report
and Order, MB Docket No. 07–296,
adopted January 27, 2010, and released
January 29, 2010. The full text of this
Commission document is available for
inspection and copying during normal
business hours in the FCC Reference
Information Center (Room CY–A257),

The Notice of Proposed Rule Making
also included an Order to Show Cause
directed to the licensee of Station
WFLQ(FM), French Lick, Indiana, to
show cause why its license should not
be modified to specify operation on
Channel 229A in lieu of Channel 261A.
See 73 FR 50296, published August 26,
2008. Although Station WFLQ(FM)
argued that it should not be required to
change channels, the Report and Order
found that the station had not raised a
substantial and material question of fact
that would warrant a hearing on this
issue. The document also states that the
ultimate permittee of Channel 261A at
Irvington, Kentucky, will be required to
reimburse Station WFLQ(FM), French
Lick, Indiana, for its reasonable and
prudent costs associated with the
involuntary channel change at French
Lick. The reference coordinates for
Channel 261A at Irvington are 37–56–52
NL and 86–24–54 WL. The reference
coordinates for Channel 229A at French
Lick are 38–35–41 NL and 86–36–48
WL. Finally, because Station WFLQ(FM)
is a licensed station, the channel
substitution at French Lick will be
updated in the Commission’s
Consolidated Data Base System [CDBS].
This document does not contain new
or modified information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public
Law 104–13. In addition, therefore, it
does not contain any new or modified
information collection burden for small
business concerns with fewer than 25
employees, pursuant to the Small
Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002,
Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4).
The Commission will send a copy of
this Report & Order in a report to be sent
to Congress and the Government
Accountability Office pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C.
801(a)(1)(A).

Correction
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule; correcting
amendment.
SUMMARY: This rule amends general
provisions for domestic fisheries in the
western Pacific to correct errors that
resulted from two recent rules. This
action is necessary to remedy missing
information, out of date administrative
references, and a misspelling.
DATES: Effective March 3, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bob
Harman, Pacific Islands Region, NMFS,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 21, 2008, NMFS published in
the Federal Register a final rule (73 FR
70600) designating three species of
pelagic squid as management unit
species under the Fishery Management
Plan for Pelagic Species of the Western
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
9531
Pacific Region (FMP). That rule also
established permitting and reporting
requirements, and authorization for
NMFS to place observers on squid
fishing vessels. This final rule was
effective December 22, 2008, except for
the collection-of-information
requirements, which were effective
October 5, 2009 (74 FR 45756,
September 4, 2009).
The final rule that included squid jig
fishing in the FMP inadvertently
omitted an instruction to revise the table
of authorized fishing gear at 50 CFR
600.725(v). The rule established squid
as management unit species in the
definition of western Pacific pelagic
management unit species (50 CFR
665.800). The rule authorized squid jig
fishing (50 CFR 665.801(g)), and defined
squid jig gear (50 CFR 665.800). The
rule also set restrictions on the use of
squid jig gear (50 CFR 665.14(b),
665.808, and 665.802(zz)). By these
actions, squid jig gear and fishing are
authorized and managed. However, the
rule did not include this authorized
fishing gear in the table at 50 CFR
600.725(v), which provides a complete
list of all authorized fishing gear in the
FEPs. The rule should have added an
entry to include squid jig as an
authorized gear in the squid jig fishery
in item 7 (western Pacific pelagic
fisheries in the FMP) of section VIII
(fisheries under the jurisdiction of the
Western Pacific Fishery Management
Council) in that table. This final rule
corrects that error, and no substantive
changes are made to the regulations.
Additionally, on January 14, 2010,
NMFS published in the Federal Register
a final rule (75 FR 2198) restructuring
western Pacific fishery regulations at 50
CFR part 665 to be consistent with five
new area-specific fishery ecosystem
plans (FEP). The FEPs were established
as FMPs, consistent with the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act. In that rule, no
substantive changes were made to the
regulations. NMFS also restructured
western Pacific regulations to be
consistent with the area-specific
organization of the FEPs, and changed
administrative references in western
Pacific regulations from ‘‘FMP’’ to ‘‘FEP.’’
That final rule was effective February
16, 2010.
That final rule inadvertently omitted
an instruction to revise the table of
authorized fishing gear at 600.725(v) to
change references from ‘‘FMP’’ to ‘‘FEP’’
in section VIII (fisheries under the
jurisdiction of the Western Pacific
Fishery Management Council). This
final rule corrects those administrative
references; no substantive changes are
made to the regulations.

effectiveness does not apply to this rule
because it is not a substantive rule.
Because notice and opportunity for
comment are not required pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553, or any other law, the
analytical requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act are
inapplicable. Therefore, a final
regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required and one has not been prepared.
This rule is exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866.
This rule also corrects the spelling of
the word ‘‘fishery,’’ which was
misspelled as ‘‘fisher’’ in item 7.A of
section VIII of the table.

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,
NOAA, (AA) finds good cause to waive
prior notice and opportunity for public
comment, as such notice and comment
would be unnecessary. These
procedures are unnecessary because the
regulations were subject to notice and
comment when originally implemented,
and no substantive changes are being
made pursuant to this final rule. The
only actions currently being taken are to
remedy missing or incorrect
administrative information. Pursuant to

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.
NMFS closed directed fishing for
pollock in Statistical Area 630 of the
GOA under § 679.20(d)(1)(iii) on
February 5, 2010 (75 FR 6589 February
10, 2010).
As of February 24, 2010, NMFS has
determined that approximately 3,659
metric tons of pollock remain in the
directed fishing allowance for pollock in
Statistical Area 630 of the GOA.
Therefore, in accordance with
§ 679.25(a)(1)(i), (a)(2)(i)(C), and
(a)(2)(iii)(D), and to fully utilize the A
season allowance of the 2010 TAC of
pollock in Statistical Area 630 of the
GOA, NMFS is terminating the previous
closure and is reopening directed
fishing pollock in Statistical Area 630 of
the GOA. The Administrator, Alaska
Region (Regional Administrator)
considered the following factors in
reaching this decision: (1) the current
catch of pollock in Statistical Area 630
of the GOA and, (2) the harvest capacity
and stated intent on future harvesting
patterns of vessels in participating in
this fishery. In accordance with
§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional
Administrator finds that this directed
fishing allowance will be reached after
48 hours. Consequently, NMFS is
prohibiting directed fishing for pollock
in Statistical Area 630 of the GOA
effective 1200 hrs, A.l.t., March 2, 2010.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 opening of pollock in
Statistical Area 630 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 24,
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.
Without this inseason adjustment,
NMFS could not allow the fishery for
pollock in Statistical Area 630 of the
GOA to be harvested in an expedient
manner and in accordance with the
regulatory schedule. Under
§ 679.25(c)(2), interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
this action to the above address until
March 15, 2010.
This action is required by § 679.20
and § 679.25 and is exempt from review
under Executive Order 12866.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule amends general provisions for domestic fisheries in
the western Pacific to correct errors that resulted from two recent
rules. This action is necessary to remedy missing information, out of
date administrative references, and a misspelling.
DATES: Effective March 3, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bob Harman, Pacific Islands Region,
NMFS, 808 944-2271.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 21, 2008, NMFS published in the
Federal Register a final rule (73 FR 70600) designating three species
of pelagic squid as management unit species under the Fishery
Management Plan for Pelagic Species of the Western Pacific Region
(FMP). That rule also established permitting and reporting
requirements, and authorization for NMFS to place observers on squid
fishing vessels. This final rule was effective December 22, 2008,
except for the collection-of-information requirements, which were
effective October 5, 2009 (74 FR 45756, September 4, 2009).
The final rule that included squid jig fishing in the FMP
inadvertently omitted an instruction to revise the table of authorized
fishing gear at 50 CFR 600.725(v). The rule established squid as
management unit species in the definition of western Pacific pelagic
management unit species (50 CFR 665.800). The rule authorized squid jig
fishing (50 CFR 665.801(g)), and defined squid jig gear (50 CFR
665.800). The rule also set restrictions on the use of squid jig gear
(50 CFR 665.14(b), 665.808, and 665.802(zz)). By these actions, squid
jig gear and fishing are authorized and managed. However, the rule did
not include this authorized fishing gear in the table at 50 CFR
600.725(v), which provides a complete list of all authorized fishing
gear in the FEPs. The rule should have added an entry to include squid
jig as an authorized gear in the squid jig fishery in item 7 (western
Pacific pelagic fisheries in the FMP) of section VIII (fisheries under
the jurisdiction of the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council) in
that table. This final rule corrects that error, and no substantive
changes are made to the regulations.
Additionally, on January 14, 2010, NMFS published in the Federal
Register a final rule (75 FR 2198) restructuring western Pacific
fishery regulations at 50 CFR part 665 to be consistent with five new
area-specific fishery ecosystem plans (FEP). The FEPs were established
as FMPs, consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act. In that rule, no substantive changes were made to the
regulations. NMFS also restructured western Pacific regulations to be
consistent with the area-specific organization of the FEPs, and changed
administrative references in western Pacific regulations from ``FMP''
to ``FEP.'' That final rule was effective February 16, 2010.
That final rule inadvertently omitted an instruction to revise the
table of authorized fishing gear at 600.725(v) to change references
from ``FMP'' to ``FEP'' in section VIII (fisheries under the
jurisdiction of the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council). This
final rule corrects those administrative references; no substantive
changes are made to the regulations.
[[Page 9532]]
This rule also corrects the spelling of the word ``fishery,'' which
was misspelled as ``fisher'' in item 7.A of section VIII of the table.
Classification
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Assistant Administrator for
Fisheries, NOAA, (AA) finds good cause to waive prior notice and
opportunity for public comment, as such notice and comment would be
unnecessary. These procedures are unnecessary because the regulations
were subject to notice and comment when originally implemented, and no
substantive changes are being made pursuant to this final rule. The
only actions currently being taken are to remedy missing or incorrect
administrative information. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d), the 30-day
delay in effectiveness does not apply to this rule because it is not a
substantive rule.
Because notice and opportunity for comment are not required
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other law, the analytical requirements
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act are inapplicable. Therefore, a final
regulatory flexibility analysis is not required and one has not been
prepared. This rule is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866.
