proposed rulemaking on November 9,
2012, to broaden the exemption for
digger derricks in its construction
standard for cranes and derricks. OSHA
received a significant adverse comment

direct final rule (77 FR 67270) and a
companion notice of proposed
rulemaking (77 FR 67313) to broaden
the exemption for digger derricks in its
construction standard for cranes and
derricks. In those documents, OSHA
stated that if it received a significant
adverse comment, the Agency would
‘‘publish a timely withdrawal of this
direct final rule’’ and determine
whether to proceed with the rulemaking
on the basis of the proposed rule. OSHA
received one significant adverse
comment on the direct final rule (Docket
ID OSHA–2012–0025–0008) and is,
therefore, withdrawing the direct final
rule. The Agency will treat the comment
on the direct final rule as a comment on

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 26 / Thursday, February 7, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
GOA exclusive economic zone
according to the Fishery Management
Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of
Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council
under authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act. Regulations governing
fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance
with the FMP appear at subpart H of 50
CFR part 600 and 50 CFR part 679.
The A season allowance of the 2013
total allowable catch (TAC) of pollock in
Statistical Area 620 of the GOA is
16,433 metric tons (mt) as established
by the final 2012 and 2013 harvest
specifications for groundfish of the GOA
(77 FR 15194, March 14, 2012) and
inseason adjustment (78 FR 267, January
3, 2013).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Regional Administrator has
determined that the A season allowance
of the 2013 TAC of pollock in Statistical
Area 620 of the GOA will soon be
reached. Therefore, the Regional
Administrator is establishing a directed

fishing allowance of 16,134 mt and is
setting aside the remaining 300 mt as
bycatch to support other anticipated
groundfish fisheries. In accordance with
§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional
Administrator finds that this directed
fishing allowance has been reached.
Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting
directed fishing for pollock in Statistical
Area 620 of the GOA.
After the effective date of this closure
the maximum retainable amounts at
§ 679.20(e) and (f) apply at any time
during a trip.
Classification
This action responds to the best
available information recently obtained
from the fishery. The Acting Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA
(AA), finds good cause to waive the
requirement to provide prior notice and
opportunity for public comment
pursuant to the authority set forth at 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and § 679.25(c)(1)(ii) as
such requirement is impracticable and
contrary to the public interest. This
requirement is impracticable and
contrary to the public interest as it

would prevent NMFS from responding
to the most recent fisheries data in a
timely fashion and would delay the
closure of directed fishing for pollock in
Statistical Area 620 of the GOA. NMFS
was unable to publish a notice
providing time for public comment
because the most recent, relevant data
only became available as of February 3,
2013.
The AA also finds good cause to
waive the 30-day delay in the effective
date of this action under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3). This finding is based upon
the reasons provided above for waiver of
prior notice and opportunity for public
comment.
This action is required by § 679.20
and is exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866.
