Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Federal Maritime
Commission (FMC or Commission)
amends its regulations relating to
agency organization to reflect changes in
reporting requirements for the Office of
Inspector General, implemented in the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act.
DATES: Effective Date: September 27,
2012.
SUMMARY:

Jkt 226001
Rebecca A. Fenneman, General Counsel,
Federal Maritime Commission, 800
North Capitol Street NW., Washington,
DC 20573, (202) 523–5740,
GeneralCounsel@fmc.gov.
The FMC
amends Part 501 of Title 46 of the Code
of Federal Regulations to reflect a
change in reporting requirements for
Inspectors General of Designated
Federal Entities, implemented in the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act, Public Law
111–203, 124 Stat. 1376, July 21, 2010
(Dodd-Frank). In Dodd-Frank, signed
into law on July 21, 2010, Congress
amended Section 8G of the Inspector
General Act of 1978 (IG Act), to provide,
as pertinent here, that the term ‘‘head of
the designated Federal entity’’ means
‘‘the board or commission of the
designated Federal entity.’’ Public Law
111–203, sec. 989B (1)(A), 124 Stat.
1376, 1945. Because Section 8G of the
IG Act provides that Inspectors General
report to and are under the general
supervision of the head of a designated
Federal entity, the effect of the changed
definition of ‘‘head of the designated
Federal entity’’ in the Dodd-Frank
amendment is that the FMC’s Inspector
General reports to and is under the
general supervision of the entire
Commission. This change in the
reporting and supervision of the
Inspector General necessitates minor
amendments in the Commission’s rules
dealing with lines of responsibility (46
CFR 501.4), and functions of the
organizational components of the
Commission (46 CFR 501.5).
With respect to lines of responsibility,
46 CFR 501.4(a) is amended to eliminate
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
18. Sections 180.536 and 180.550 are
removed.

§ 180.1035
46 CFR Part 501
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
17. Section 180.458 is amended by
removing the entry for ‘‘Soybean,
soapstock’’ from the table in paragraph
(a).

the Office of Inspector General from the
list of offices that report to the
Chairman, and a new paragraph, 46 CFR
501.4(b), is added to reflect that the
Inspector General reports to the
Commission. With regard to functions of
organizational components of the
Commission, 46 CFR 501.5(a), which
sets out the functions of the Chairman,
is amended to eliminate the Office of
Inspector General from the list of offices
that receive management direction from
the Chairman, to remove 46 CFR
501.5(a)(2) from this section, and to
renumber 46 CFR 501.5(a)(3) and 46
CFR 501.5(a)(4) as 46 CFR 501.5(a)(2)
and 46 CFR 501.5(a)(3) respectively.
Finally, 46 CFR 501.5(b), which sets out
the functions of the Commissioners, is
amended by adding language providing
that the Inspector General reports to and
is under the general supervision of the
Commission, and by adding section
501.5(b)(1) to describe the functions of
the Office of Inspector General.
Because the changes made in this
Final Rule address only internal agency
organization, which do not require
notice and public comment pursuant to
the Administrative Procedure Act, 5
U.S.C. 553, this rule is published as
final. This rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’
under 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
NMFS issues this final rule to
implement the management measures of
Amendment 20A (Amendment 20A) to
the Fishery Management Plan for the
Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South
Atlantic Region (FMP) as prepared and
submitted by the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council (Council). This
final rule revises the wreckfish
individual transferable quota (ITQ)
program, by defining and reverting
inactive wreckfish quota shares,
redistributing reverted quota shares to
remaining shareholders, establishing a
cap on the number of wreckfish quota
shares a single entity may own, and
establishing an appeals process for
redistribution of reverted wreckfish
quota shares. The intent of this rule is
to help achieve the optimum yield (OY)
from the wreckfish commercial sector in
accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act).
DATES: This rule is effective October 26,
2012.
ADDRESSES: Electronic copies of
Amendment 20A may be obtained from
the Southeast Regional Office Web Site

is implemented through regulations at
50 CFR part 622 under the authority of
the Magnuson-Stevens Act.
On January 12, 2012, NMFS
published a notice of availability for
Amendment 20A and requested
comments (77 FR 1908). On March 30,
2012, NMFS published a proposed rule
for Amendment 20A and requested
public comments (77 FR 19165). The
proposed rule and Amendment 20A
outline the rationale for the actions
contained in this final rule. Amendment
20A was approved by the Secretary of
Commerce on April 6, 2012. A summary
of the actions implemented by this final
rule are provided below.
This final rule revises the wreckfish
ITQ program, established in 1992, by
defining and reverting inactive
wreckfish quota shares, redistributing
reverted quota shares to remaining
shareholders, establishing a share cap,
and establishing an appeals process for
redistribution of reverted wreckfish
quota shares. The intent of this rule is
to achieve OY in the wreckfish
commercial sector while maximizing
harvest potential and not exceeding the
annual catch limit (ACL).
Changes From the Proposed Rule
When the Council took final action to
approve Amendment 20A in December
2011, there were 20 wreckfish
shareholders. Of those 20 shareholders,
13 were considered to be ‘‘inactive’’ and
7 ‘‘active’’ as defined in Amendment
20A. The 13 inactive shareholders held
28.18 percent of the shares, which
would be redistributed among the 7
active wreckfish shareholders. After the
Council took final action, several share
transfers occurred which changed the
distribution of shares in the wreckfish
commercial sector of the snappergrouper fishery. As of September 26,
2012, there are 6 active shareholders
and 4 inactive shareholders. The active
shareholders now hold 98.599 percent
of the shares, and the inactive
shareholders now hold 1.401 percent of
the shares. The proposed rule and
Amendment 20A state that 5 percent of
the wreckfish quota shares will be setaside, to resolve any appeals, for a
period of 90 days starting on the
effective date of the final rule. Due to
the share transfers that occurred after
the Council took final action to approve
Amendment 20A in December 2011,
only 1.401 percent of the shares remains
‘‘inactive’’ and thus are available to be
reverted and redistributed. Therefore,
only 1.401 percent is available as the
set-aside to resolve any appeals, and
NMFS will redistribute any shares
remaining after the appeals process is
complete. Any shares remaining after

Reporting and Supervision of Inspector General
September 20, 2012.
AGENCY: Federal Maritime Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC or Commission) amends its
regulations relating to agency organization to reflect changes in
reporting requirements for the Office of Inspector General, implemented
in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
DATES: Effective Date: September 27, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rebecca A. Fenneman, General Counsel,
Federal Maritime Commission, 800 North Capitol Street NW., Washington,
DC 20573, (202) 523-5740, GeneralCounsel@fmc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FMC amends Part 501 of Title 46 of the
Code of Federal Regulations to reflect a change in reporting
requirements for Inspectors General of Designated Federal Entities,
implemented in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act, Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376, July 21, 2010
(Dodd-Frank). In Dodd-Frank, signed into law on July 21, 2010, Congress
amended Section 8G of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (IG Act), to
provide, as pertinent here, that the term ``head of the designated
Federal entity'' means ``the board or commission of the designated
Federal entity.'' Public Law 111-203, sec. 989B (1)(A), 124 Stat. 1376,
1945. Because Section 8G of the IG Act provides that Inspectors General
report to and are under the general supervision of the head of a
designated Federal entity, the effect of the changed definition of
``head of the designated Federal entity'' in the Dodd-Frank amendment
is that the FMC's Inspector General reports to and is under the general
supervision of the entire Commission. This change in the reporting and
supervision of the Inspector General necessitates minor amendments in
the Commission's rules dealing with lines of responsibility (46 CFR
501.4), and functions of the organizational components of the
Commission (46 CFR 501.5).
With respect to lines of responsibility, 46 CFR 501.4(a) is amended
to eliminate the Office of Inspector General from the list of offices
that report to the Chairman, and a new paragraph, 46 CFR 501.4(b), is
added to reflect that the Inspector General reports to the Commission.
With regard to functions of organizational components of the
Commission, 46 CFR 501.5(a), which sets out the functions of the
Chairman, is amended to eliminate the Office of Inspector General from
the list of offices that receive management direction from the
Chairman, to remove 46 CFR 501.5(a)(2) from this section, and to
renumber 46 CFR 501.5(a)(3) and 46 CFR 501.5(a)(4) as 46 CFR
501.5(a)(2) and 46 CFR 501.5(a)(3) respectively. Finally, 46 CFR
501.5(b), which sets out the functions of the Commissioners, is amended
by adding language providing that the Inspector General reports to and
is under the general supervision of the Commission, and by adding
section 501.5(b)(1) to describe the functions of the Office of
Inspector General.
Because the changes made in this Final Rule address only internal
agency organization, which do not require notice and public comment
pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553, this rule
is published as final. This rule is not a ``major rule'' under 5 U.S.C.
