SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
This document does not contain
proposed information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13. In addition, therefore, it does not
contain any proposed information
collection burden ‘‘for small business
concerns with fewer than 25
employees,’’ pursuant to the Small
Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002,
Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4).
Provisions of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act of 1980 do not apply to
this proceeding.
To accommodate the new allotment at
Munds Park, the Bureau also substitutes
Channel 281C for vacant Channel 247C
at First Mesa, Arizona, at reference
coordinates 35–41–09 NL and 110–21–
43 WL. The reference coordinates for
Channel 246C2 at Munds Park are 34–
58–06 NL and 111–30–29 WL.
In comparing the new allotment at
Munds Park and the proposed increase
in existing service at Wickenburg,
Arizona, the Bureau recognized that the
Wickenburg proposal would provide a
second full-time reception service to
264 persons. However, the Bureau
found that this was de minimis and did
not trigger Priority 2 of the FM
Allotment Priorities. The Munds Park
proposal was preferred over the
Wickenburg proposal under Priority 4,
other public interest matters. Although
the increase in existing service at
Wickenburg would provide third and
fourth reception services to some
underserved populations, the Bureau
determined on balance that they do not
outweigh the need for a second local or
first competitive service at Munds Park.

Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Commission has before it
a petition for rulemaking filed by
Hampton Roads Educational
Telecommunications Association’s
(HRETA). HRETA requests the
reallotment of its channel *16 to
Norfolk, Virginia-Elizabeth City, North
Carolina, and to modify its television
station, WHRO–TV’s license to specify
Norfolk, Virginia-Elizabeth City, North
Carolina as its community of license.
Norfolk, Virginia-Elizabeth City, North
Carolina fails to qualify as a community
for allotment purposes, and therefore,
HRETA’s request to modify its
community of license is been denied
and its petition for rulemaking is
dismissed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
(king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and
cobia) is managed under the Fishery
Management Plan for the Coastal
Migratory Pelagic Resources of the Gulf
of Mexico and South Atlantic (FMP).
The FMP was prepared by the Gulf of
Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery
Management Councils (Councils) and is
implemented under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) by regulations
at 50 CFR part 622.
On April 27, 2000, NMFS
implemented the final rule (65 FR
16336, March 28, 2000) that divided the
Florida west coast subzone of the Gulf
eastern zone into northern and southern
subzones, and established their separate
commercial annual catch limits (ACLs),
equal to commercial quotas. The 2012 to
2013 fishing year ACL (quota) for the
hook-and-line component of the
commercial sector for king mackerel in
the southern Florida west coast subzone
is 607,614 lb (275,609 kg) (50 CFR
622.42(c)(1)(i)(A)(2)(i)).
The Florida west coast subzone is that
part of the eastern zone located south
and west of 25°20.4′ N. lat. (a line
directly east from the Miami-Dade/
Monroe County, FL boundary) along the
west coast of Florida to 87°31′06″ W.
long. (a line directly south from the
Alabama/Florida boundary). The
Florida west coast subzone is further
divided into northern and southern
subzones. From November 1 through
March 31, the southern subzone is
designated as the area extending south
and west from 25°20.4′ N. lat. to
26°19.8′ N. lat. (a line directly west from
the Lee/Collier County, Florida,
boundary), i.e., the area off Collier and
Monroe Counties. Beginning April 1, the
southern subzone is reduced to the area
off Collier County, Florida, between
25°48′ N. lat. and 26°19.8′ N. lat.
On March 12, 2013, NMFS
implemented a 500-lb (227-kg) trip limit
for vessels in the hook-and-line
component of the commercial sector for
king mackerel in or from the EEZ in the
southern Florida west coast subzone (78
FR 15642, March 12, 2013).
Under 50 CFR 622.43(a), NMFS is
required to close any component of the
king mackerel commercial sector when
its ACL (quota) has been reached, or is
projected to be reached, by filing a
notification at the Office of the Federal
Register. NMFS has determined the ACL
(quota) for hook-and-line component of
the commercial sector for Gulf migratory
group king mackerel in the southern
Florida west coast subzone will be
reached by March 17, 2013.
Accordingly, the hook-and-line
component of the commercial sector for
PO 00000
Frm 00041

Gulf migratory group king mackerel in
the southern Florida west coast subzone
is closed effective 12:01 a.m., local time,
March 17, 2013, through June 30, 2013,
the end of the fishing year.
During the closure period, no person
aboard a vessel for which a commercial
permit for king mackerel has been
issued may use hook-and-line gear to
harvest or possess Gulf migratory group
king mackerel in or from Federal waters
of the closed subzone. There is one
exception, however, for a person aboard
a charter vessel or headboat. A person
aboard a vessel that has a valid charter/
headboat permit and also has a
commercial king mackerel permit for
coastal migratory pelagic fish may
continue to retain king mackerel in or
from the closed subzone under the 2fish daily bag limit, provided the vessel
is operating as a charter vessel or
headboat. Charter vessels or headboats
that hold a commercial king mackerel
permit are considered to be operating as
a charter vessel or headboat when they
carry a passenger who pays a fee or
when more than three persons are
aboard, including operator and crew.
Classification
The Regional Administrator,
Southeast Region, NMFS, has
determined this temporary rule is
necessary for the conservation and
management of the Gulf king mackerel
resource and is consistent with the
Magnuson-Stevens Act and other
applicable laws.
This action is taken under 50 CFR
622.43(a) and is exempt from review
under Executive Order 12866.
These measures are exempt from the
procedures of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the temporary rule is issued
without opportunity for prior notice and
comment.
This action responds to the best
available information recently obtained
from the fishery. The Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA,
(AA), finds that the need to immediately
implement this action to close the hookand-line component of the commercial
sector constitutes good cause to waive
the requirements to provide prior notice
and opportunity for public comment
pursuant to the authority set forth in 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), as such procedures
would be unnecessary and contrary to
the public interest. Such procedures
would be unnecessary because the rule
itself already has been subject to notice
and comment, and all that remains is to
notify the public of the closure.
Allowing prior notice and
opportunity for public comment is
contrary to the public interest because
of the need to immediately implement
