Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 127 / Friday, July 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. The Agency
determined that it is not a significant
energy action within the meaning of
section 4(b) of the Executive Order and
will not likely have a significant adverse
effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. Therefore, the Agency has
determined that a Statement of Energy
Effects is not required.
Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice
Reform)
The FMCSA has determined that this
final rule meets applicable standards in
sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive
Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to
minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burden.
Privacy Impact Assessment
The FMCSA conducted a privacy
impact assessment of this final rule as
required by section 522(a)(5) of the
Transportation, Treasury, Independent
Agencies, and General Government
Appropriations Act, 2005, Public Law
108–447, div. H, 118 Stat. 2809, 3268,
(December 8, 2004) [set out as a note to
5 U.S.C. 552a]. The assessment
considered any impacts of the final rule
on the privacy of information in an
identifiable form and related matters.
FMCSA determined this final rule
contains no privacy impacts.
Executive Order 13045 (Protection of
Children)
The FMCSA analyzed this final rule
under Executive Order 13045, entitled
‘‘Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks.’’ The Agency determined that this
final rule will not cause any
environmental risk to health or safety
that may disproportionately affect

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
BSAI exclusive economic zone
according to the Fishery Management
Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea
and Aleutian Islands Management Area
(FMP) prepared by the North Pacific
Fishery Management Council under
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act. Regulations governing fishing by
U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:09 Jul 01, 2010
Jkt 220001
appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600
and 50 CFR part 679.
The 2010 initial total allowable catch
(ITAC) of Greenland turbot in the
Aleutian Islands subarea was
established as 1,615 metric tons (mt) by
the final 2010 and 2011 harvest
specifications for groundfish of the
BSAI (75 FR 11788, March 12, 2010). In
accordance with § 679.20(a)(3) the
Regional Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS, has reviewed the most current
available data and finds that the ITAC
for Greenland turbot in the Aleutian
Islands subarea needs to be
supplemented from the non-specified
reserve in order to promote efficiency in
the utilization of fishery resources in the
BSAI and allow fishing operations to
continue.
Therefore, in accordance with
§ 679.20(b)(3), NMFS apportions from
the non-specified reserve of groundfish
285 mt to the Greenland turbot ITAC in
the Aleutian Islands subarea. This
apportionment is consistent with
§ 679.20(b)(1)(i) and does not result in
overfishing of a target species because
the revised ITAC is equal to or less than
the specifications of the acceptable
biological catch in the final 2010 and
2011 harvest specifications for
groundfish in the BSAI (75 FR 11788,
March 12, 2010).
The harvest specification for the 2010
Greenland turbot ITAC included in the
harvest specifications for groundfish in
the BSAI is revised as follows: 1,900 mt
for Greenland turbot in the Aleutian
Islands subarea.
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
Frm 00041
Fmt 4700
opportunity for public comment
pursuant to the authority set forth at 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and
§ 679.20(b)(3)(iii)(A) as such a
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
apportionment of the non-specified
reserves of groundfish to the Greenland
turbot fishery in the Aleutian Islands
subarea. Immediate notification is
necessary to allow for the orderly
conduct and efficient operation of this
fishery, to allow the industry to plan for
the fishing season, and to avoid
potential disruption to the fishing fleet
and processors. NMFS was unable to
publish a notice providing time for
public comment because the most
recent, relevant data only became
available as of June 28, 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.
Under § 679.20(b)(3)(iii), interested
persons are invited to submit written
comments on this action (see
ADDRESSES) until July 16, 2010.
This action is required by § 679.20
and is exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866.
