Download as PDF 74724 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 231 / Thursday, December 1, 2011 / Rules and Regulations In the first sentence of section 575.302(b), pickup trucks were incorrectly listed as an example of automobiles that are required by the Automobile Information Disclosure Act (AIDA) to have Monroney labels (price sticker labels). However, AIDA does not require Monroney labels for pickup trucks.1 That sentence also included a minor typographical error (the first use of the word ‘‘are’’ was extraneous). In section 575.302(e)(4)(iii), the regulatory text specifying certain language for the label incorrectly indicated that the word ‘‘only’’ is to be in italics, when it should have indicated that the word is to be capitalized. We note that the sample label shown in Figure 2 to section 575.302 correctly shows the word capitalized. Also, separate from the July 2011 final rule, we identified certain errors in the authority citation, which we are correcting. vehicles, station wagons, passenger vans, and sport utility vehicles).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background A final rule for Amendment 11 to the MSB FMP was published in the Federal Register on November 7, 2011 (76 FR 68642). Details regarding the measures in Amendment 11 are in the final rule and are not repeated here. The OMB approval of the collection-ofinformation requirements for §§ 648.4 and 648.7 (as it relates to mackerel permit holders) had not been received by the date the final rule was submitted to the Office of the Federal Register for publication. OMB approved the collection-of-information requirements in the rule on November 9, 2011. This final rule makes the collection-ofinformation requirements effective. Classification NMFS previously solicited public comments on Amendment 11, including this collection of information, through the rulemaking process. NMFS received no comments on the collection of information requirements. Thus, this action merely implements portions of Amendment 11 that were previously proposed and subjected to public comment, but that under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) required OMB approval in order to become effective. OMB has now approved the collection of information provisions. Because the public has already had an opportunity to comment on these provisions, an additional public comment period is unnecessary. The AA finds good cause to waive the 30-day delayed effective date required by 5 U.S.C. 553 and make this rule effective upon publication. While the requirement to have a limited access mackerel permit is delayed until March 1, 2012, it is important to begin now the underlying administrative process in order to maximize the number of permit applications that can be acted upon by this deadline. 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 E:\FR\FM\01DER1.SGM 01DER1 emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 231 / Thursday, December 1, 2011 / Rules and Regulations subject to penalty for failure to comply with, a collection-of-information requirement subject to the requirements of the PRA, unless that collection-ofinformation displays a currently valid OMB control number. This final rule contains revisions to collection-ofinformation requirements subject to the PRA under OMB Control Numbers 0648–0601 and 0648–0212. The requirements related to the limited access mackerel program have been approved under the MSB Amendment 10 Family of Forms (OMB Control No. 0648–0601). Under the approved limited access program, and pursuant to regulations at 50 CFR 648.4, vessel owners are required to submit to NMFS application materials to demonstrate their eligibility for a limited access permit. The public burden for the application requirement pertaining to the limited access program is estimated to average 45 minutes per application, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection information. Only 410 vessels are expected to qualify and consequently renew their limited access mackerel permits via the renewal application each year. The renewal application is estimated to take 30 minutes on average to complete. Up to 30 applicants are expected to appeal the denial of their permit application. The appeals process is estimated to take an average of 2 hours to complete. Vessels that qualify for a Tier 1 or Tier 2 mackerel permit would be required to submit documentation of hold volume size. The Council estimated that 74 vessels would qualify for either a Tier 1 or Tier 2 limited access mackerel permit. Tier 1 and 2 vessel owners will experience a time burden due to this requirement in the form of travel time to/from a certified marine surveyor. It is not possible to estimate a time burden associated with obtaining a hold volume measurement, as vessels would have to travel varying distances to visit certified marine surveyors. Travel time to a marine surveyor is not an information collection burden, so is not considered a response. Completing a replacement or upgrade application requires an estimated 3 hours per response. It is estimated that no more than 40 of 410 vessels possessing these permits will request a vessel replacement or upgrade annually. Completion of a CPH application requires an estimated 30 minutes per response. It is estimated that no more than 30 of the 410 vessels possessing VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:21 Nov 30, 2011 Jkt 226001 these limited access permits will request a CPH annually. The regulations at 50 CFR 648.7 modify the VTR requirement for Tier 3 mackerel vessels. All mackerel vessels are currently required to submit VTRs on a monthly basis; this requirement is currently approved under the Northeast Region Logbook Family of Forms (OMB Control No. 0648–0212). Amendment 11 will require vessels issued a Tier 3 mackerel permit to submit VTRs on a weekly basis. A change request for this requirement has been approved by OMB. The public burden for the revised VTR requirement is expected to average 5 minutes for each additional VTR submission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    A final rule for Amendment 11 to the MSB FMP was published in the 
Federal Register on November 7, 2011 (76 FR 68642). Details regarding 
the measures in Amendment 11 are in the final rule and are not repeated 
here. The OMB approval of the collection-of-information requirements 
for Sec. Sec.  648.4 and 648.7 (as it relates to mackerel permit 
holders) had not been received by the date the final rule was submitted 
to the Office of the Federal Register for publication. OMB approved the 
collection-of-information requirements in the rule on November 9, 2011. 
This final rule makes the collection-of-information requirements 
effective.

Classification

    NMFS previously solicited public comments on Amendment 11, 
including this collection of information, through the rulemaking 
process. NMFS received no comments on the collection of information 
requirements. Thus, this action merely implements portions of Amendment 
11 that were previously proposed and subjected to public comment, but 
that under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) required OMB approval in 
order to become effective. OMB has now approved the collection of 
information provisions. Because the public has already had an 
opportunity to comment on these provisions, an additional public 
comment period is unnecessary.
    The AA finds good cause to waive the 30-day delayed effective date 
required by 5 U.S.C. 553 and make this rule effective upon publication. 
While the requirement to have a limited access mackerel permit is 
delayed until March 1, 2012, it is important to begin now the 
underlying administrative process in order to maximize the number of 
permit applications that can be acted upon by this deadline.
    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 requirement subject to the requirements of the PRA, unless 
that collection-of-information displays a currently valid OMB control 
number. This final rule contains revisions to collection-of-information 
requirements subject to the PRA under OMB Control Numbers 0648-0601 and 
0648-0212.
    The requirements related to the limited access mackerel program 
have been approved under the MSB Amendment 10 Family of Forms (OMB 
Control No. 0648-0601). Under the approved limited access program, and 
pursuant to regulations at 50 CFR 648.4, vessel owners are required to 
submit to NMFS application materials to demonstrate their eligibility 
for a limited access permit. The public burden for the application 
requirement pertaining to the limited access program is estimated to 
average 45 minutes per application, including the time for reviewing 
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection information.
    Only 410 vessels are expected to qualify and consequently renew 
their limited access mackerel permits via the renewal application each 
year. The renewal application is estimated to take 30 minutes on 
average to complete. Up to 30 applicants are expected to appeal the 
denial of their permit application. The appeals process is estimated to 
take an average of 2 hours to complete. Vessels that qualify for a Tier 
1 or Tier 2 mackerel permit would be required to submit documentation 
of hold volume size. The Council estimated that 74 vessels would 
qualify for either a Tier 1 or Tier 2 limited access mackerel permit. 
Tier 1 and 2 vessel owners will experience a time burden due to this 
requirement in the form of travel time to/from a certified marine 
surveyor. It is not possible to estimate a time burden associated with 
obtaining a hold volume measurement, as vessels would have to travel

    Completing a replacement or upgrade application requires an 
estimated 3 hours per response. It is estimated that no more than 40 of 
410 vessels possessing these permits will request a vessel replacement 
or upgrade annually. Completion of a CPH application requires an 
estimated 30 minutes per response. It is estimated that no more than 30 
of the 410 vessels possessing these limited access permits will request 
a CPH annually.
    The regulations at 50 CFR 648.7 modify the VTR requirement for Tier 
3 mackerel vessels. All mackerel vessels are currently required to 
submit VTRs on a monthly basis; this requirement is currently approved 
under the Northeast Region Logbook Family of Forms (OMB Control No. 
0648-0212). Amendment 11 will require vessels issued a Tier 3 mackerel 
permit to submit VTRs on a weekly basis. A change request for this 
requirement has been approved by OMB. The public burden for the revised 
VTR requirement is expected to average 5 minutes for each additional 
VTR submission.
