Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 112 / Friday, June 11, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997).
This final rule does not contain any
information collections subject to OMB
approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq., nor does it require any special
considerations under Executive Order
12898, entitled Federal Actions to
Address Environmental Justice in
Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994).
Since tolerances and exemptions that
are established on the basis of a petition
under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as
the tolerances in this final rule, do not
require the issuance of a proposed rule,
the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.) do not apply.
This final rule directly regulates
growers, food processors, food handlers,
and food retailers, not States or tribes,
nor does this action alter the
relationships or distribution of power
and responsibilities established by
Congress in the preemption provisions
of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such,
the Agency has determined that this
action will not have a substantial direct
effect on States or tribal governments,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States or tribal
governments, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian
tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined
that Executive Order 13132, entitled
Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999) and Executive Order 13175,
entitled Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply
to this final rule. In addition, this final
rule does not impose any enforceable
duty or contain any unfunded mandate
as described under Title II of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(UMRA) (Public Law 104–4).
This action does not involve any
technical standards that would require
Agency consideration of voluntary
consensus standards pursuant to section
12(d) of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995
(NTTAA), Public Law 104–113, section
12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).
VII. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report to each House of
the Congress and to the Comptroller
General of the United States. EPA will
submit a report containing this rule and

other required information to the U.S.
Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller
General of the United States prior to
publication of this final rule in the
Federal Register. This final rule is not
a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

DFARS Case 2009–D022.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
On July 15, 2009, Taiwan became a
designated country under the World
Trade Organization Government
Procurement Agreement. DoD published
an interim rule at 74 FR 61045 on
November 23, 2009, that added Taiwan
to the list of World Trade Organization
Government Procurement Agreement
countries in the trade agreement
provisions and clauses in Part 252.
DoD notes that being added as a
‘‘designated country’’ under trade
agreements does not affect Taiwan’s
status with regard to being an acceptable
source for specialty metals and items
containing specialty metals. The
exception to the specialty metals
restrictions is only for specialty metals
that are melted or produced in a
‘‘qualifying country’’ or items that
contain specialty metals and are
manufactured in a qualifying country.
The qualifying countries are listed at
DFARS 225.003(10). Taiwan is not a
qualifying country.
DoD received comments from one
respondent, but the comments were
outside the scope of this case.
This rule was subject to Office of
Management and Budget review under
section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review, dated
September 30, 1993. This is not a major
rule.
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
DoD certifies that this rule will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
within the meaning of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.
Although the rule opens up Government
procurement to the products of Taiwan
in acquisitions that are subject to trade
agreements, DoD only applies the trade
agreements to acquisitions of those nondefense items listed at DFARS 225.401–
70. Acquisitions of supplies that are set
aside for small businesses are exempt.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
Although the interim rule did not
make any direct change to the provision
at DFARS 252.225–7020, the addition of
Taiwan as a designated country does
affect the certification and information
collection requirements in that
provision, which is currently approved
under Office of Management and Budget
Control Number 0704–0229. DFARS

Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery;
Suspension of the Primary Pacific
Whiting Season for the Shore-based
Sector South of 42≥ North Latitude
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Fishing restrictions.
SUMMARY: NMFS announces the
suspension of the Pacific whiting
(whiting) fishery primary season for the
shore-based sector south of 42° N. lat. at
8 p.m. local time (l.t.) May 16, 2010.
‘‘Per trip’’ limits for whiting were
reinstated until 0001 hours June 15,
2010, at which time the primary season
for the shore-based 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 2010 allocation levels.
DATES: Effective from 8 p.m. l.t. May 16,
2010, until 0001 hours June 15, 2010.

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 2010 commercial Optimum
Yield (OY) for Pacific whiting is 140,996
mt. This is calculated by deducting the
49,939 mt tribal allocation and 3,000 mt
for research catch and bycatch in nongroundfish fisheries from the 193,935
mt U.S. total catch OY. Each sector
receives a portion of the commercial
OY, with the catcher/processors getting
34 percent (47,939 mt), motherships
getting 24 percent (33,839 mt), and the
shore-based sector getting 42 percent
(59,218 mt). The regulations further
divide the shore-based allocation so that
no more than 5 percent (2,961 mt) of the
shore-based allocation may be taken in
waters off the State of California before
the primary season begins north of 42°
N. lat. The 5–percent allocation is
intended to minimize incidental catch
of Chinook salmon.
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 2010: 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, 2010.
Because the 2,961 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 primary
season south of 42° N. lat. was
reinstated and remains in effect until
the primary season fishery opens
coastwide on 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.
