1. PP 2E7993. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2012–
0241). Interregional Research Project
Number 4 (IR–4), 500 College Road East,
Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540,
requests to amend the tolerance in 40
CFR 180.300 by increasing the tolerance
for residues of the plant regulator
ethephon, in or on tomato from 2.0 ppm
to 3.5 ppm. The increased tolerance is
required to accommodate tomatoes of
less than one inch in diameter grown in
the greenhouse. Adequate methods for
purposes of enforcement of ethephon
tolerances in plant commodities,
ruminant tissues and milk are available.
The FDA (PAM Vol. I Appendix, 8/93)
indicates that ethephon is not recovered
through any of the Multiresidue
Protocols. Contact: Andrew Ertman,

requests to amend the tolerances in 40
CFR 180.434 for residues of the
fungicide propiconazole, 1H-1,2,4Triazole, 1-([2-(4-dichlorophenyl)-4propyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl]methyl)-, and
its metabolites determined as 2,4dichlorobenzoic acid and expressed as

ppm; wheat, hay from 1.4 ppm to 30
ppm; wheat, straw from 10 ppm to 20
ppm; and grain, aspirated fraction from
30 ppm to 108 ppm. Analytical methods
adequate to determine parent
propiconazole, total propiconazole as
2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid, and the
triazole metabolites (1,2,4-Triazole,
Triazole Alanine, and Triazole Acetic
Acid) are available for enforcement
purposes with LOD that allow
monitoring of food with residues at or

AGENCY:
The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes
revisions to existing regulations
governing the confidentiality of
information submitted in compliance
with any requirement or regulation
under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act or MSA). The
purposes of these revisions are to make
both substantive and non-substantive
changes necessary to comply with the
MSA as amended by the 2006
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management
Reauthorization Act (MSRA) and the
1996 Sustainable Fisheries Act (SFA). In
addition, revisions are necessary to
address some significant issues that
concern NMFS’ application of the MSA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Magnuson-Stevens Act authorizes
the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary)
to regulate domestic fisheries within the
200-mile U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone
(EEZ). 16 U.S.C. 1811. Conservation and
management of fish stocks is
accomplished through Fishery
Management Plans (FMPs). Eight
regional fishery management councils
(Councils) prepare FMPs and
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
amendments to those plans for fisheries
within their jurisdiction. Id. 1853. The
Secretary has exclusive authority to
prepare and amend FMPs for highly
migratory species in the Atlantic Ocean.
Id. 1852(a)(3), 1854(g).
Information collection is an important
part of the fishery management process.
Conservation and management
measures in FMPs and in their
implementing regulations must be based
on the best scientific information
available (see National Standard 2, 16
U.S.C. 1851(a)(2)). Under section
303(a)(5) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act,
any Fishery Management Plan a Council
or the Secretary prepares must specify
the pertinent information to be
submitted to the Secretary with respect
to commercial, recreational, or charter
fishing, and fish processing in the
fishery. Id. 1853(a)(5). In addition,
section 303(b)(8) provides that an FMP
may require that one or more observers
be carried onboard a vessel for the
purpose of collecting data necessary for
the conservation and management of the
fishery. Id. 1853(b)(8).
The Magnuson-Stevens Act sets forth
information confidentiality
requirements at section 402(b), 16
U.S.C. 1881a(b). Under the Act as
amended, the Secretary must maintain
the confidentiality of any information
that is submitted in compliance with the
Act and any observer information. The
MSA includes exceptions to these
confidentiality requirements. Some
exceptions allow for the sharing of
confidential information with specified
entities provided that these parties treat
the information as confidential, while
others allow for the release of
information without restrictions. In
addition, the MSA authorizes the
Secretary to disclose information that is
subject to the Act’s confidentiality
requirements in ‘‘any aggregate or
summary form which does not directly
or indirectly disclose the identity or
business of any person who submits
such information.’’ Id. 1881a(b)(3).
Section 402(b)(3) of the Act provides
that the ‘‘Secretary shall, by regulation,
prescribe such procedures as may be
necessary to preserve the confidentiality
of information submitted in compliance
with any requirement or regulation
under this Act * * *’’. Id. 1881a(b)(3).
Accordingly, NMFS has promulgated
confidentiality regulations, which are
set forth at 50 CFR part 600, subpart E.
Certain terms used in these regulations
are defined under 50 CFR part 600,
subpart A. NMFS last revised the
regulations under subpart E in February
1998 (63 FR 7075). The revisions were
non-substantive.
