Section 111 and Interest Payments
AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of

ACTION: Final rule: technical
amendment.
SUMMARY: The Copyright Office makes a
technical amendment to its rule on
interest payments by cable operators.
DATES: This technical amendment is
effective April 20, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Cable
systems submitting statutory payments
in an untimely fashion, or who have
underpaid the amount due, must
include the proper interest charge along
with their royalties. See Assessment of
Interest Regarding the Cable
Compulsory License, 54 FR 14217,
14220–21 (Apr. 10, 1989). It has been
the Office’s longstanding practice that
interest is not due when the amount has
been less than or equal to five dollars.
Section 201.17(i)(2)(iii) had codified
this practice. However, this rule was
inadvertently removed when the Office
updated its electronic funds transfer
requirements four years ago. Prior to the
adoption of these regulations, Section
201.17(i)(2)(iii) read as follows, ‘‘Interest
is not required to be paid on any royalty
underpayment or late payment from a
particular accounting period if the
interest charge is less than or equal to
five dollars.’’ To correct this error we are
amending Section 201.17(i)(4) to restore
this language on the five dollar
threshold.

PART 201—GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.The authority citation for part 201
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 17 U.S.C. 702.
13:39 Apr 19, 2010
The IFQ Program, a limited access
management system for the fixed gear
Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus
stenolepis) and sablefish (Anoplopoma
fimbria) fisheries off Alaska, was
recommended by the Council in 1992
and approved by NMFS in January
1993. Initial implementing rules were
published on November 9, 1993 (58 FR
59375). Fishing under the IFQ program
began on March 15, 1995. The IFQ
Program limits access to the halibut and
sablefish fisheries to those persons
holding quota share (QS) in specific
management regions. The IFQ Program
for the sablefish fishery is implemented
by Amendment 15 to the Fishery
Management Plan for the Groundfish
Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands area (BSAI), Amendment 20 to
the FMP for Groundfish Fishery of the
Gulf of Alaska (GOA), and implemented
by Federal regulations at 50 CFR part
679 under authority of the MagnusonStevens Act. The IFQ Program for the
halibut fishery is implemented by
Federal regulations at 50 CFR part 679
under the authority of the Halibut Act.
The IFQ Program’s principal
management measures, with certain
exceptions, were: to limit the amount of
QS that could be used by any person; to
limit the amount of IFQ halibut or
sablefish that could be harvested on a
vessel; and for catcher vessels, to
require the IFQ permit holder to be
onboard the vessel during fishing
operations. An IFQ permit authorizes
participation in fixed-gear harvests of
Pacific halibut off Alaska, and most
sablefish fisheries off Alaska. The
requirement for the IFQ permit holder to
be on board the vessel at all times
during the fishing trip and to be present
at the landing of fish ensures active
participation in the fishery by IFQ
permit holders, which has an important
objective of the Council. The
requirement also guaranteed the IFQ
permit holder’s presence at landing for
interviews by the enforcement
personnel and to resolve any issues
regarding QS account management,
such as landing fish in excess of the
permit holder’s IFQ account. Although
the requirement was published in the
IFQ program’s initial regulations in
1993, the regulatory text was revised at
paragraph 679.42(c)(1)(ii) by a final rule
(68 FR 44473) published July 29, 2003.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic
Zone Off Alaska; Individual Fishing
Quota Program; Correction
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
SUMMARY: This action corrects a final
rule published on December 15, 2008,
that revised the Individual Fishing
Quota (IFQ) Program for the sablefish
and halibut fisheries off Alaska. The
December 2008 final rule erroneously
removed a paragraph requiring the IFQ
permit holder be aboard the vessel at all
times during a fishing trip and be
present during the landing of harvested
fish. This action corrects the error by
restoring the removed paragraph,
thereby eliminating the public’s
possible confusion about the program’s
owner-on-board requirements and
restoring NMFS’ ability to enforce the
provision. This action is intended to
promote the goals and objectives of the
Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982
(Halibut Act), the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), and other
applicable law.
DATES: Effective April 20, 2010.
