Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 232 / Friday, December 3, 2010 / Proposed Rules
Reopening and extending the
comment period.
ACTION:
Due to comments received
from the Association of American
Railroads (AAR) during the initial
comment period, FRA is reopening the
comment period for its proposal
published on September 21, 2010. The
proposal, if adopted, would amend, line
by line, FRA’s schedules of civil
penalties issued as appendices to FRA’s
rail safety regulations, as well as other
guidance. AAR stated in its comments
on the proposal that FRA did not give
the railroad industry adequate time to
review all the penalties listed in the
proposal to determine if they match the
severity-scale criteria, which are also
listed in the proposal. Therefore, FRA is
reopening and extending the comment
period in order to allow AAR more time
to review the penalties in the severity
scale and to identify and comment more
fully on which individual penalties do
not in its opinion satisfy the severityscale criteria. FRA also seeks further
comments from other interested parties
that were unable to comment during the
initial comment period. The comment
period is reopened until February 1,
2011.
SUMMARY:
Written comments must be
received by February 1, 2011.
Comments received after that date will
be considered to the extent possible
without incurring additional delay or
expense.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
FRA’s
proposal to amend, line by line, FRA’s
schedules of civil penalties as well as
other guidance was published on
September 21, 2010 (75 FR 57598). The
initial comment period closed on
October 21, 2010. During this 30-day
comment period, FRA received
comments from both AAR and The
American Short Line and Regional
Railroad Association. In its comments,
AAR provided examples of penalties in
the proposal that it believed did not
match the severity-scale criteria.
However, AAR also stated that FRA did
not give it adequate time to review all
the penalties in the proposal and
determine whether they matched the
severity-scale criteria. Therefore, FRA is
reopening the comment period to allow
AAR an opportunity to comment on
these perceived inconsistencies more
fully. FRA will address all other
comments made during the initial and
additional comment period in the final
statement of agency policy.
Privacy Act: FRA wishes to inform all
potential commenters that anyone is
able to search the electronic form of all
comments received into any agency
docket by the name of the individual
submitting the comment (or signing the
comment, if submitted on behalf of an
association, business, labor union, etc.).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed rule that published on
November 3, 2010 (75 FR 67810),
establishes the 2011–2012 harvest
specifications and management
measures for groundfish taken in the
U.S. exclusive economic zone off the

coasts of Washington, Oregon, and
California consistent with the
Mangunson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act and
the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery
Management Plan (PCGFMP). The
proposed rule revises the harvest
specifications for groundfish species
and species complexes and the
collection of management measures in
the groundfish fishery regulations that
are intended to keep the total catch
within those harvest specifications. The
proposed rule also includes regulations
to implement Amendment 16–5 to the
PCGFMP. Amendment 16–5 would
create a new rebuilding plan for Petrale
sole, which was declared overfished on
February 9, 2010, revise the existing
rebuilding plans, and revise status
determination criteria and a harvest
control rule for flatfish. Finally, the
proposed rule is consistent with and
partially implements Amendment 23 to
the PCGFMP. Amendment 23 would
make the PCGFMP consistent with the
revised National Standard 1 Guidelines
(74 FR 3178, January 16, 2009).

comment period that closed on
December 3, 2010. NMFS announced at
the November 2010 Council meeting
that the 2011–2012 biennial
specifications and management
measures originally schedule to be in
place January 1, 2011, would be delayed
to allow for the preparation of the
analytical documents needed to support
final action. Because of this delay many
of the specifications in the proposed
rule will not be effective for the
beginning of 2011 and instead
specifications from 2010 will be
effective for the beginning of 2011, until
the final rule is in place. Because of the
extra time now available due to the
delay in final action, NMFS is extending
the comment period on the proposed
rule through January 4, 2011 to allow
the public and the Council additional
time to comment.
