Ray LaHood, Secretary of Transportation. This final rule changes the advance notification period for inseason closure of the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) Deep-7 bottomfish fishery from 14 to 7 days. The intent of the change is to enhance administration of the fishery. DATES: This final rule is effective April 20, 2011. ADDRESSES: Copies of the Fishery Ecosystem Plan for the Hawaiian Archipelago are available from the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council), 1164 Bishop St., Suite 1400, Honolulu, HI 96813, tel 808–522–8220, fax 808–522–8226, https://www.wpcouncil.org. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jarad Makaiau, NMFS PIR Sustainable Fisheries, 808–944–2108. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The fishery for main Hawaiian Islands Deep 7 bottomfish is managed under a total allowable catch (TAC) limit. NMFS and the State of Hawaii monitor progress towards the TAC based on records of commercial bottomfish landings collected by the State. When bottomfish landings approach the TAC, NMFS, the State, and the Council determine the date the TAC is projected to be reached, and the commercial and noncommercial fisheries for Deep 7 bottomfish will be closed. Federal regulations at 50 CFR 665.211 require NMFS to notify fishermen and the public of the date when the fisheries will close through a notice in the Federal Register and other means. This final rule changes the minimum required advance notification period SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 from 14 to 7 days. The objective of this final rule is to enhance administration of the fishery by streamlining the advanced notification. Additional background information on this final rule is found in the preamble to the proposed rule published on February 14, 2011 (76 FR 8330). Briefly, reducing the advance notification period for a closure of the Deep 7 bottomfish fishery will allow NMFS to more accurately determine the closure date, while still providing fishermen with sufficient notice of the impending closure. The comment period for the proposed rule ended on March 1, 2011, and NMFS did not receive any comments. Changes From the Proposed Rule There are no changes from the proposed rule in this final rule. Classification The Administrator, Pacific Islands Region, NMFS, determined that this final rule is necessary for the conservation and management of the Hawaii bottomfish fishery, and that it is consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and other applicable laws. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866. The Chief Counsel for Regulation of the Department of Commerce certified to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration during the proposed rule stage that this action would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The factual basis for the certification was published in the proposed rule and is not repeated here. No comments were received regarding this certification. As a result, a regulatory flexibility analysis was not required and none was prepared. List of Subjects in 50 CFR Part 665 Bottomfish, Fishing, Hawaii. Dated: March 15, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 19, 2007, the Act was signed 
into law. Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1.59

B. Executive Order 13132

    This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles 
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132 (``Federalism''). This 
final rule does not have a substantial direct effect on, or sufficient

requirements of Executive Order 13175 do not apply.

the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553, so the provisions of

delegates authority from one official to another. Therefore, I certify 
this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small businesses.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
