heavy-duty vehicles. It was not intended
to replace the definition of ‘‘base tire’’
for light-duty vehicles, as its current
location would suggest. To correct the
mistake, NHTSA is moving the
definition to its original intended
location in 49 CFR part 535, and adding
the words ‘‘for heavy-duty vehicles’’ to
alleviate any confusion. The previous
definition for ‘‘base tire’’ for light duty
vehicles will be restored, and the words
‘‘for passenger automobiles, light trucks
and medium-duty passenger vehicles’’
will be added.

ACTION: Temporary rule; inseason
adjustment.
AGENCY:
NMFS adjusts the 2011
Fishing Year sub-annual catch limit for
Atlantic Herring Management Area 1A
due to an under-harvest in the New
Brunswick weir fishery. This action
complies with the 2010–2012
specifications and management
measures for the Atlantic Herring
Fishery Management Plan.
DATES: Effective November 1, 2011,
through December 31, 2011.

Specialist, 978–675–2179, Fax 978–281–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulations governing the Atlantic
herring fishery are found at 50 CFR part
648. The regulations require annual
specification of the overfishing limit,
acceptable biological catch (ABC),
annual catch limit (ACL), optimum
yield (OY), domestic harvest and
processing, U.S. at-sea processing,
border transfer and sub-ACLs for each
management area. The 2011 Domestic
Annual Harvest is 91,200 metric tons
(mt); the 2011 sub-ACL allocated to
Area 1A is 26,546 mt and 0 mt of the
sub-ACL is set aside for research (75 FR
48874, August 12, 2010). Due to the
variability of Canadian catch in the New
Brunswick weir fishery, a portion of the
buffer between ABC and OY (the buffer
to account for Canadian catch) is
allocated to Area 1A, provided New
Brunswick weir landings are lower than
the amount specified in the buffer.
The NMFS Regional Administrator is
required to monitor the fishery landings
in the New Brunswick weir fishery each
year. If the New Brunswick weir fishery
landings through October 15 are less
than 9,000 mt, then 3,000 mt of the weir
fishery allocation is added to the Area
1A sub-ACL in November of the same
