ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The Department of Transportation is issuing a final rule to amend its regulations to exempt portions of a newly established or updated and reissued system of records titled, ‘‘DOT/ALL 24—Departmental Office of Civil Rights System’’ from certain provisions of the Privacy Act. Specifically, the Department exempts portions of the ‘‘DOT/ALL 24— Departmental Office of Civil Rights System’’ from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement requirements. DATES: This final rule is effective April 3, 2012. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Claire W. Barrett, Departmental Chief Privacy Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590 or privacy@dot.gov or (202) 366–8135. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background The Department of Transportation (DOT), Office of the Secretary (OST) published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register (76 FR 71930) November 21, 2011, proposing to exempt portions of the system of records from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement requirements. The system of records that is the subject of the notice of proposed rulemaking is the DOT/ALL 24—Departmental Office of Civil Rights System of Records. The DOT/ALL 24—Departmental Office of Civil Rights System system of records notice was published in the Federal Register (76 FR 71108) November 16, 2011, and comments were invited on both the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and System of Records Notice (SORN). The notice of proposed rulemaking was inadvertently published under RIN 2105–AD11, and was entitled PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 19943 ‘‘Maintenance of and Access to Records Pertaining to Individuals; Proposed Exemption.’’ In addition, the notice of proposed rulemaking indicated that the proposed rule would add a new paragraph 8 to Part II.A of the Appendix to Part 10. The notice of proposed rulemaking should have stated that the proposed rule would add a new paragraph 9 to Part II.A of the Appendix to Part 10. The final rule has been revised accordingly. Public Comments DOT received no comments on the NPRM and no comments on the SORN. Regulatory Analysis and Notices This final rule is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ within the meaning of Executive Order 12886. It is also not significant within the definition in DOT’s Regulatory Policies and Procedures, 49 FR 11034 (1979), in part because it does not involve any change in important Departmental policies. Because the economic impact should be minimal, further regulatory evaluation is not necessary. Moreover, I certify that this rule does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, because the reporting requirements, themselves, are not changed and because it applies only to information on individuals that is maintained by the Federal Government. This rule does not significantly affect the environment, and therefore an environmental impact statement is not required under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. It has also been reviewed under Executive Order 12612, Federalism, and it has been determined that it does not have sufficient implications for federalism to warrant preparation of a Federalism Assessment. This rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13084 (‘‘Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments’’). Because it has no effect on Indian Tribal Governments, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive Order 13084 do not apply. The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires an agency to review regulations to assess their impact on small entities unless the agency determines that a rule is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. I hereby certify that this rule does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule imposes no new information reporting or record keeping necessitating clearance by the Office of E:\FR\FM\03APR1.SGM 03APR1 19944 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 64 / Tuesday, April 3, 2012 / Rules and Regulations Management and Budget.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Ruccio, Fishery Policy Analyst, phone: 978–281–9104. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Plain Language Executive Summary A recent assessment of the amount of cod found in the GOM was finalized in January 2012. The results are substantially different from those from a similar examination conducted in 2008. The new assessment concludes that GOM cod are ‘‘overfished,’’ meaning there is a lower amount of fish than necessary to sustain the population over the long term. It also concludes that GOM cod are subject to ‘‘overfishing,’’ meaning fishing activities are removing too many fish from the sea to sustain the population. The required population and fishing-related removal levels are set for GOM cod under a fishery management plan developed by the New England Fishery Management Council (Council) in collaboration with NMFS. This plan is designed to satisfy requirements of the primary law governing U.S. fisheries—the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). The new assessment indicates that increasing GOM cod to the rebuilding stock size target is not possible by 2014, even if no cod are harvested by fisheries between now and then. Based on the information in the new assessment, NMFS has determined that the GOM cod rebuilding program is not making adequate progress toward building the stock to the required size. NMFS has notified the Council of this finding. Based on this notification and in accordance with Magnuson-Stevens Act requirements, the Council must revisit the GOM cod rebuilding plan and revise it within the next two years so that the recovery effort is back on track. NMFS also advised the Council that there is some limited flexibility the agency may use to reduce, rather than end, overfishing on GOM cod for up to one year. The Council had originally intended to use the new assessment information and recommend measures for fishing year 2012 (May 1, 2012–April 30, 2013). However, the Council elected not to do so, based on concerns about the new assessment. Instead, the Council has asked NMFS to implement interim measures for the fishing year, E:\FR\FM\03APR1.SGM 03APR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Transportation (DOT), Office of the Secretary 
(OST) published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register 
(76 FR 71930) November 21, 2011, proposing to exempt portions of the 
system of records from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act 
because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement 
requirements. The system of records that is the subject of the notice 
of proposed rulemaking is the DOT/ALL 24--Departmental Office of Civil 
Rights System of Records. The DOT/ALL 24--Departmental Office of Civil 
Rights System system of records notice was published in the Federal 
Register (76 FR 71108) November 16, 2011, and comments were invited on 
both the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and System of Records 
Notice (SORN). The notice of proposed rulemaking was inadvertently 
published under RIN 2105-AD11, and was entitled ``Maintenance of and 
Access to Records Pertaining to Individuals; Proposed Exemption.'' In 
addition, the notice of proposed rulemaking indicated that the proposed 
rule would add a new paragraph 8 to Part II.A of the Appendix to Part 
10. The notice of proposed rulemaking should have stated that the 
proposed rule would add a new paragraph 9 to Part II.A of the Appendix 
to Part 10. The final rule has been revised accordingly.

Public Comments

    DOT received no comments on the NPRM and no comments on the SORN.

Regulatory Analysis and Notices

    This final rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' within 
the meaning of Executive Order 12886. It is also not significant within 
the definition in DOT's Regulatory Policies and Procedures, 49 FR 11034 
(1979), in part because it does not involve any change in important 
Departmental policies. Because the economic impact should be minimal, 
further regulatory evaluation is not necessary. Moreover, I certify 
that this rule does not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities, because the reporting 
requirements, themselves, are not changed and because it applies only 
to information on individuals that is maintained by the Federal 
Government.
    This rule does not significantly affect the environment, and 
therefore an environmental impact statement is not required under the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. It has also been reviewed 
under Executive Order 12612, Federalism, and it has been determined 
that it does not have sufficient implications for federalism to warrant 
preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
    This rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and 
criteria contained in Executive Order 13084 (``Consultation and 
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). Because it has no 
effect on Indian Tribal Governments, the funding and consultation 
requirements of Executive Order 13084 do not apply.
    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires an 
agency to review regulations to assess their impact on small entities 
unless the agency determines that a rule is not expected to have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
I hereby certify that this rule does not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities.

necessitating clearance by the Office of
