SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This temporary final rule extends the
revised GB yellowtail flounder catch
limits implemented through emergency
authority as published in the FW 45
final rule on April 25, 2011 (76 FR
23042) in order to maintain those
measures through the end of FY 2010
(April 30, 2012). The April 25, 2011
final rule included detailed information
on the background and reasons for the
need to revise the GB yellowtail
flounder catch limits from those
originally proposed in the FW 45
proposed rule (76 FR 11858; March 3,
2011). The public had an opportunity to
comment on the April 25, 2011
emergency measures, but no comments
were submitted. We will again accept
public comment on both the
appropriateness of the emergency action
to date, and its extension.
The emergency specifications
extended through this final rule are the
revised GB yellowtail flounder catch
limits for FY 2011, as follows: A U.S.
ABC of 1,458 mt; a total ACL of 1,416
mt; a groundfish sub-ACL of 1,142 mt;
a scallop fishery sub-ACL of 200.8 mt;
and an Other ACL sub-component of 73
mt. The initial emergency action
modified GB yellowtail flounder catch
limits from those originally proposed as
a result of the passage of new legislation
(International Fisheries Agreement
Clarification Act).
Although the FW 45 final rule
contained preliminary information
regarding the more specific components
of the groundfish sub-ACL (the division
of the groundfish sub-ACL between
sectors and the common pool and the
Incidental Catch Total Allowable
Catches for common pool vessels), it did
not implement the final specification of
these components (and this rule does
not need to address those aspects of the
FMP). The components of the GB
yellowtail flounder groundfish sub-ACL
are specified in the final rule that
adjusted the FY 2011 groundfish subACL components for all stocks (76 FR
34903; June 15, 2011).
No comments were received on the
initial emergency rule.
Classification
We have determined that the
emergency specifications extended by
this temporary final rule are necessary
and are consistent with the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Management Act and other applicable
law.
The interim rule that this rule extends
was determined to be not significant for
purposes of E.O. 12866.
This rule is exempt from the
procedures of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act to prepare a regulatory flexibility
analysis because the rule is issued
without opportunity for prior public
comment.
The supplemental Environmental
Assessment (EA) prepared for the initial
emergency action analyzed the impacts
of the emergency specifications for the
duration of a year (Supplemental EA,
Revised Georges Bank Yellowtail
Flounder Catch Limits for Fishing Year
2011; April 13, 2011). Therefore, the
impacts of this emergency action
extension have been analyzed, and are
within the scope of the Finding of No
Significant Impact.

The National Marine

approval of Amendment 13 to the
Fishery Management Plan for the
Scallop fishery off Alaska (FMP).
Amendment 13 implements an annual
catch limit (ACL) and accountability
measures (AMs) to prevent overfishing
in the target fishery for weathervane
scallops. Implementing these measures
requires revising the maximum
sustainable yield (MSY) and the
optimum yield (OY) for weathervane
scallops to account for total catch.
Amendment 13 also clarifies that, in the
absence of a statewide estimate of
spawning biomass for weathervane
scallops, the overfishing level (OFL) is
