Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 7, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
($0.22), landing the full FY 2010 quota
of 15 million lb (5,443.11 mt), (and also
the FY 2011 quota under Alternative 1)
would yield $3.300 million in fleet
revenue. Applying the same approach,
revenue would be expected to increase
to $4.400 million under the proposed
action (Alternative 2), and $6.898
million under Alternative 3. The quota
level under Alternative 2 will allow the
highest level of harvest of spiny dogfish
while taking into account scientific
uncertainty about the stock. Although
the level of increased revenue for small
entities will be less than under
Alternative 3, Alternative 2 is more
likely to prevent overfishing of the
spiny dogfish resource and promote a
more stable stream of commercial
landings and revenues over the long
term.
Small Entity Compliance Guide
Section 212 of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996 states that, for each rule or group
of related rules for which an agency is
required to prepare a FRFA, the agency
shall publish one or more guides to
assist small entities in complying with
the rule, and shall designate such
publications as ‘‘small entity compliance
guides.’’ The agency shall explain the
actions a small entity is required to take
to comply with a rule or group of rules.
As part of this rulemaking process, a
letter to permit holders that also serves
as small entity compliance guide (guide)
was prepared and will be sent to all
holders of permits issued for the spiny
dogfish fishery. In addition, copies of
this final rule and guide (i.e., permit
holder letter) are available from the
Northeast Regional Administrator (see

A final
rule published May 4, 2011 (76 FR
25246), describes annual management
measures for managing the harvest of
salmon in the area managed by the
Pacific Fishery Management Council
(Council). This correcting amendment
revises a table in that rule to make it
consistent with the text of the rule and
the Council’s recommendations.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting
amendment.
AGENCY:
NMFS established fishery
management measures for the 2011
ocean salmon fisheries off Washington,
Oregon, and California and the 2012
salmon seasons opening earlier than
May 1, 2012. The final rule published
on May 4, 2011, included an incorrect
area description for minimum size
requirements for the commercial salmon
fishery. This action corrects the
incorrect language.
SUMMARY:
Need for Correction
In the final rule regarding 2011
salmon management measures (76 FR
25246, May 4, 2011), Section 1, part B
on page 25251 consists of a table of
Minimum Size for salmon caught in the
commercial fishery. There are two errors
in this table, rendering it inconsistent
with the rule text and the Council’s
recommendations for the 2011 salmon
management measures, as adopted at
their April 2011 meeting. The
corresponding text describing the
fishing area and geographic boundaries
in Section 1, part A, is correct as
published on May 4, and is consistent
with the Council’s recommendations for
the 2011 management measures for the
salmon fishery. In the table, the area
listed as ‘‘Cape Falcon to Horse Mt.’’ is
corrected to read ‘‘Cape Falcon to OR/
CA Border.’’ The area listed as ‘‘Horse
Mt. to US–Mexico Border’’ is corrected
to read ‘‘OR/CA Border to U.S./Mexico
Border.’’ The table here replaces the
table in 76 FR 25246, Section 1:

The Assistant Administrator for
Fisheries, NOAA (AA) finds good cause
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), to waive the
requirement for prior notice and
opportunity for additional public
comment for this action as notice and
comment would be unnecessary and
contrary to the public interest. Notice
and comment are unnecessary and
contrary to the public interest because
this action simply makes the abovereferenced table consistent with the text
in the original final rule and the
Council’s recommended action. This
correction does not affect the results of
analyses conducted to support
management decisions in the salmon
fishery nor change the total catch of
salmon. The correction eliminates an
inconsistency between the table, and the

text and the Council’s recommendation,
and therefore eliminates any confusion
that the inconsistency might create for
the public. If this rule is not
implemented immediately, the public
will have incorrect information
regarding the geographic area and
boundaries for the salmon fishery,
which will cause confusion and will be
inconsistent with the Council’s
recommendation and with the analytical
documents for this rulemaking. No
aspect of this action is controversial and
no change in operating practices in the
fishery is required.
For the same reasons, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d), the AA finds good cause
to waive the 30-day delay in effective
date. If this rule is not implemented
immediately, the public will have
incorrect information regarding the

confusion and will be inconsistent with
the Council’s recommendation and with
the analytical documents for this
rulemaking.
Because prior notice and opportunity
for public comment are not required for
this rule by 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other
law, the analytical requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601
