flight mode to another without
exceptional piloting skill, alertness, or
strength.
(4) Failure conditions that are not
shown to be extremely improbable must
be demonstrated by analysis, ground
testing, or flight testing. For failures
demonstrated in flight, the following
normal pilot recovery times are
acceptable:
(i) Transition modes (Cruise-to-Hover/
Hover-to-Cruise) and Hover modes:
Normal pilot recognition plus 1 second.
(ii) Cruise modes: Normal pilot
recognition plus 3 seconds.
(5) All AFCS malfunctions must
include evaluation at the low-speed and
high-power flight conditions typical of
SAR operations. Additionally, AFCS
hard-over, slow-over, and oscillatory
malfunctions, particularly in yaw,
require evaluation. AFCS malfunction
testing must include a single or a
combination of failures (for example,
erroneous data from and loss of the
radio altimeter, attitude, heading, and
altitude sensors) which are not shown to
be extremely improbable.
(6) The flight demonstration must
include the following environmental
conditions:
(i) Swell into wind.
(ii) Swell and wind from different
directions.
(iii) Cross swell.
(iv) Swell of different lengths (short
and long swell).

Background
BILLING CODE 4910–13–P
A final rule to establish protective
regulations under section 4(d) of the
ESA for the Southern DPS was
published in the Federal Register on
June 2, 2010 (75 FR 30714) (the final
ESA 4(d) Rule). The final ESA 4(d) Rule,
other than the collection-of-information
requirements, went into effect on July 2,
2010. When the final rule was
published, the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) had not yet approved
the collection-of-information
requirements under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), and therefore the
effective date of the permitting and
reporting requirements in that rule was
delayed. No public comments were
received regarding the permitting and
reporting requirements in the final ESA
4(d) Rule.
OMB approved the collection-ofinformation requirements contained in
the final ESA 4(d) Rule on October 5,
2010. Accordingly, this final rule

announces the approval January 12,
2011 of the collection-of-information
requirements at 50 CFR 223.210, as
published in the final ESA 4(d) Rule.
Under NOAA Administrative Order
205–11, dated December 17, 1990, the
Under Secretary for Oceans and
Atmosphere has delegated authority to
sign material for publication in the
Federal Register to the Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA.
Classification
This final rule has been determined to
be not significant for purposes of
Executive Order 12866.
Notwithstanding any other provision
of the law, no person is required to
respond to, and no person shall be
subject to penalty for failure to comply
with, a collection of information subject
to the requirements of the PRA, unless
that collection of information displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
This final rule concerns the following
collection-of-information requirements
subject to the PRA and approved by
OMB under control number 0648–0613:
(1) Exception for Federal, State, or
private-sponsored research or
monitoring—written notification
regarding Federal, State, or privatesponsored research or monitoring
activities that meet the exception
criteria in the ESA 4(d) Rule, to be
submitted at least 60 days prior to the
start of the research or monitoring
activities, and regular reports
summarizing project results and total
numbers of takes of ESA listed species,
to be submitted on a schedule to be
determined by NMFS; (2) Exception for
habitat restoration activities—written
notification regarding habitat restoration
activities that meet the exception
criteria in the ESA 4(d) Rule, to be
submitted at least 60 days prior to the
start of the restoration project, and
regular progress reports to be submitted
on a schedule to be determined by
NMFS; (3) Exception for emergency fish
rescue activities—written reports
regarding emergency fish rescue
activities conducted under the ESA 4(d)
Rule exception, to be submitted within
30 days after conducting emergency fish
rescue activities; (4) Fishery
Management and Evaluation Plans
(FMEPs) for NMFS review and approval
and biannual reports providing the
number of green sturgeon taken in the
fishery and an evaluation and summary
of the effectiveness of the FMEP; (5)
Tribal Fishery Management Plans
(TFMPs) for NMFS review and
approval; and (6) State ESA 4(d)
research programs for NMFS review and
approval and annual reports
summarizing project results and the
E:\FR\FM\13DER1.SGM
13DER1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 238 / Monday, December 13, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
number of green sturgeon taken directly
or incidentally for each project under
the NMFS-approved State ESA 4(d)
research program.
The public reporting burden per
response for this collection-ofinformation is estimated to average: (1)
40 hours to prepare a written
notification describing Federal, State, or
private-sponsored research or
monitoring activities that comply with
the ESA 4(d) Rule exception criteria and
5 hours to prepare reports summarizing
those activities; (2) 40 hours to prepare
a written notification describing habitat
restoration activities that comply with
the ESA 4(d) Rule exception criteria and
5 hours to prepare progress reports
summarizing those activities; (3) 5 hours
to prepare reports on emergency fish
rescue activities for Southern DPS fish;
(4) 40 hours for development of an
FMEP and 5 hours to prepare the
biannual reports; (5) 20 hours for
development of a TFMP; and (6) 40
hours for development of a State ESA
4(d) research program and 5 hours to
prepare the annual reports. These
estimates include the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining the
data needed, and completing and
reviewing the collection-of-information.
Send comments regarding these burden
estimates or any other aspect of this data
collection, including suggestions for
reducing the burden, to the Assistant
Regional Administrator, Protected
Resources Division, SWR, NMFS (see
ADDRESSES) and by e-mail to

Background
A final rule to establish protective regulations under section 4(d)
of the ESA for the Southern DPS was published in the Federal Register
on June 2, 2010 (75 FR 30714) (the final ESA 4(d) Rule). The final ESA
4(d) Rule, other than the collection-of-information requirements, went
into effect on July 2, 2010. When the final rule was published, the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) had not yet approved the
collection-of-information requirements under the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA), and therefore the effective date of the permitting and
reporting requirements in that rule was delayed. No public comments
were received regarding the permitting and reporting requirements in
the final ESA 4(d) Rule.
OMB approved the collection-of-information requirements contained
in the final ESA 4(d) Rule on October 5, 2010. Accordingly, this final
rule announces the approval January 12, 2011 of the collection-of-
information requirements at 50 CFR 223.210, as published in the final
ESA 4(d) Rule.
Under NOAA Administrative Order 205-11, dated December 17, 1990,
the Under Secretary for Oceans and Atmosphere has delegated authority
to sign material for publication in the Federal Register to the
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA.
Classification
This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is
required to respond to, and no person shall be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the PRA, unless that collection of information displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
This final rule concerns the following collection-of-information
requirements subject to the PRA and approved by OMB under control
number 0648-0613: (1) Exception for Federal, State, or private-
sponsored research or monitoring--written notification regarding
Federal, State, or private-sponsored research or monitoring activities
that meet the exception criteria in the ESA 4(d) Rule, to be submitted
at least 60 days prior to the start of the research or monitoring
activities, and regular reports summarizing project results and total
numbers of takes of ESA listed species, to be submitted on a schedule
to be determined by NMFS; (2) Exception for habitat restoration
activities--written notification regarding habitat restoration
activities that meet the exception criteria in the ESA 4(d) Rule, to be
submitted at least 60 days prior to the start of the restoration
project, and regular progress reports to be submitted on a schedule to
be determined by NMFS; (3) Exception for emergency fish rescue
activities--written reports regarding emergency fish rescue activities
conducted under the ESA 4(d) Rule exception, to be submitted within 30
days after conducting emergency fish rescue activities; (4) Fishery
Management and Evaluation Plans (FMEPs) for NMFS review and approval
and biannual reports providing the number of green sturgeon taken in
the fishery and an evaluation and summary of the effectiveness of the
FMEP; (5) Tribal Fishery Management Plans (TFMPs) for NMFS review and
approval; and (6) State ESA 4(d) research programs for NMFS review and
approval and annual reports summarizing project results and the
[[Page 77529]]
number of green sturgeon taken directly or incidentally for each
project under the NMFS-approved State ESA 4(d) research program.
The public reporting burden per response for this collection-of-
information is estimated to average: (1) 40 hours to prepare a written
notification describing Federal, State, or private-sponsored research
or monitoring activities that comply with the ESA 4(d) Rule exception
criteria and 5 hours to prepare reports summarizing those activities;
(2) 40 hours to prepare a written notification describing habitat
restoration activities that comply with the ESA 4(d) Rule exception
criteria and 5 hours to prepare progress reports summarizing those
activities; (3) 5 hours to prepare reports on emergency fish rescue
activities for Southern DPS fish; (4) 40 hours for development of an
FMEP and 5 hours to prepare the biannual reports; (5) 20 hours for
development of a TFMP; and (6) 40 hours for development of a State ESA
4(d) research program and 5 hours to prepare the annual reports. These
estimates include the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the collection-of-information. Send comments
regarding these burden estimates or any other aspect of this data
collection, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the
Assistant Regional Administrator, Protected Resources Division, SWR,
