ACTION: Final rule; notification of
effective date.
AGENCY:
This rule provides notice of
the effective date of the collection-ofinformation requirements first
published in the Federal Register on
January 12, 2011. The collection-ofinformation requirements pertained to
documentation for imports of fishery
products from nations that are
negatively certified for illegal fishing or
bycatch of protected resources. The
Shark Conservation Act, established
additional criteria for certifying nations,
and the import documentation
requirements were subsequently revised
by a final rule published on January 16,
2013. The Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approved the revised
collection-of-information requirements
upon publication of that final rule.
DATES: The amendments to 15 CFR
902.1 in this final rule are effective June
25, 2014. The revised information
collection requirements contained in 50
CFR 300.206(b)(2), 300.207, and 300.208
were approved by OMB on January 16,
2013 (78 FR 3345, 3346), and are
effective June 25, 2014.

SUMMARY:
Background
Under the High Seas Driftnet Fishing
Moratorium Protection Act (Moratorium
Protection Act), as amended by the
Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act
(Pub. L. 109–479) and the Shark
Conservation Act (Pub. L. 111–348), the
Secretary of Commerce is authorized to
identify nations whose vessels are
engaged in, or have been engaged in:

(IUU) fishing; fishing activities that have
bycatch of protected living marine
resources (PLMR); and fishing for sharks
on the high seas without adopting a
regulatory program for the conservation
of sharks comparable to that of the
United States. Nations identified for
IUU fishing, PLMR bycatch, or
unsustainable shark fishing that do not
take corrective action and do not
subsequently receive a positive
certification from the Secretary of
Commerce may be subject to measures
imposed by the Secretary of the
Treasury under the High Seas Driftnet
Fisheries Enforcement Act (16 U.S.C.
1826a). Such measures include the
denial of port privileges for fishing
vessels of those nations, and, as directed
by the President, may include a
prohibition on the importation into the
United States of certain fish and fish
products caught by the vessels engaged
in the relevant activity for which the
nations were identified, or other
measures.
NMFS published a final rule to
specify the procedures for identification
and certification of nations under the
Highs Seas Driftnet Moratorium
Protection Act on January 12, 2011 (76
FR 2011). That final rule contained
collection-of-information requirements
specified in §§ 300.205(b)(2), 300.206(c),
and 300.207(c). These regulations
required documentation of admissibility
for fishery products exported to the
United States from nations that were not
positively certified subsequent to
identification by the United States for
having vessels engaged in illegal,
unreported and unregulated (IUU)
fishing and/or bycatch of protected
living marine resources. These
collection-of-information requirements
were not made effective in that final
rule, pending approval of these
requirements by OMB.
In a subsequent rulemaking,
published on January 16, 2013 (78 FR
3338), § 300.205 was redesignated as
§ 300.206; § 300.206 was redesignated as
§ 300.207, § 300.207 was redesignated as
§ 300.208 and § 300.209 was added. The
redesignated sections contained the
original documentation requirements for
exports of fishery products to the United
States and the new section contained
documentation requirements for exports
of fishery products to the United States
from nations that were not positively
certified subsequent to identification by
the United States for having vessels
engaged in fishing for sharks on the high
seas in a manner not comparable in
effectiveness to the regulatory program
of the United States. These revised
collection-of-information requirements
contained in §§ 300.206(b)(2),

were approved by OMB on January 16,
2013 (78 FR 3345, 3346).
This final rule notifies the public that
the collection-of-information
requirements contained in §§ 300.206,
300.207, 300.208, and 300.209 have
been approved by OMB and are
effective. In addition, this final rule will
update the table on NOAA information
collections approved by OMB that
appears under 15 CFR part 902.

Classification
This final rule contains a collectionof-information requirement subject to
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
The collection of this information has
been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget under OMB
Control Number 0648–0651. The
information collection consists of
documentation requirements for exports
of fishery products to the United States
from nations that were not positively
certified subsequent to identification by
the United States under the procedures
of the High Seas Driftnet Moratorium
Protection Act (50 CFR part 300, subpart
N).
Notwithstanding any other provision
of the law, no person is required to
respond to, and no person shall be
subject to penalty for failure to comply
with, a collection of information subject
to the requirements of the PRA, unless
that collection of information displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries
finds that there is good cause to waive
prior notice and an opportunity for
public comment on this action, as notice
and comment would be unnecessary.
Notice and comment are unnecessary
for this current action because an
opportunity for public comment was
previously provided during the
rulemaking to establish the collectionof-information requirement (78 FR 3338)
and this current action makes only
minor, non-substantive changes to the
table on NOAA information collections
approved by OMB that appears under 15
CFR part 902. No aspect of this required
action is controversial. NMFS therefore
determines that APA requirements for
public notice and comment are
unnecessary for this action and
determines that this rule is not subject
to the 30-day delay in effectiveness
requirement at 5 U.S.C. 553(d).

NMFS is reapportioning the
projected unused amounts of the halibut
prohibited species catch (PSC) limit
from the Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands (BSAI) trawl limited access
sector’s Pacific cod fishery to the BSAI
trawl limited access yellowfin sole
fishery. This action is necessary to
provide opportunity for harvest of the
2014 total allowable catch of yellowfin
sole by the BSAI trawl limited access
sector, consistent with the goals and
objectives of the Fishery Management
Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea
and Aleutian Islands Management Area.
DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local
time (A.l.t.), June 25, 2014, until 2400
hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Steve Whitney, 907–586–7269.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
BSAI exclusive economic zone
according to the Fishery Management
Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea
and Aleutian Islands Management Area
(FMP) prepared by the North Pacific
Fishery Management Council (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.
In the BSAI, the halibut PSC limit
apportioned as a bycatch allowance for
the BSAI trawl limited access sector’s
Pacific cod fishery is 453 metric tons
(mt) as established by the final 2014 and
2015 harvest specifications for
groundfish in the BSAI (79 FR 12108,
March 4, 2014).
As of June 12, 2014, the
Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS,
(Regional Administrator), has
determined that 60 mt of the 2014
halibut bycatch allowance for the BSAI
trawl limited access sector’s Pacific cod
fishery will not be used. Therefore, after
consultation with the Council, and in
accordance with § 679.21(e)(3)(i)(B),
NMFS reapportions 60 mt of halibut
bycatch allowance from the BSAI trawl
limited access sector’s Pacific cod
fishery, to the BSAI trawl limited access
sector’s yellowfin sole fishery. The
revised 2014 halibut bycatch allowances
are 393 mt for the BSAI trawl limited
access sector’s Pacific cod fishery and
227 mt for the BSAI trawl limited access
sector’s yellowfin sole fishery. Table 12
of the final 2014 and 2015 harvest
specifications for groundfish in the
BSAI (79 FR 12108, March 4, 2014) is
revised consistent with this
reapportionment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act
(Moratorium Protection Act), as amended by the Magnuson-Stevens
Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 109-479) and the Shark Conservation Act
(Pub. L. 111-348), the Secretary of Commerce is authorized to identify
nations whose vessels are engaged in, or have been engaged in: Illegal,
unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing; fishing activities that have
bycatch of protected living marine resources (PLMR); and fishing for
sharks on the high seas without adopting a regulatory program for the
conservation of sharks comparable to that of the United States. Nations
identified for IUU fishing, PLMR bycatch, or unsustainable shark
fishing that do not take corrective action and do not subsequently

High Seas Driftnet Fisheries Enforcement Act (16 U.S.C. 1826a). Such
measures include the denial of port privileges for fishing vessels of
those nations, and, as directed by the President, may include a
prohibition on the importation into the United States of certain fish
and fish products caught by the vessels engaged in the relevant
activity for which the nations were identified, or other measures.
NMFS published a final rule to specify the procedures for
identification and certification of nations under the Highs Seas
Driftnet Moratorium Protection Act on January 12, 2011 (76 FR 2011).
That final rule contained collection-of-information requirements
specified in Sec. Sec. 300.205(b)(2), 300.206(c), and 300.207(c).
These regulations required documentation of admissibility for fishery
products exported to the United States from nations that were not
positively certified subsequent to identification by the United States
for having vessels engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU)
fishing and/or bycatch of protected living marine resources. These
collection-of-information requirements were not made effective in that
final rule, pending approval of these requirements by OMB.
In a subsequent rulemaking, published on January 16, 2013 (78 FR
3338), Sec. 300.205 was redesignated as Sec. 300.206; Sec. 300.206
was redesignated as Sec. 300.207, Sec. 300.207 was redesignated as
Sec. 300.208 and Sec. 300.209 was added. The redesignated sections
contained the original documentation requirements for exports of
fishery products to the United States and the new section contained
documentation requirements for exports of fishery products to the
United States from nations that were not positively certified
subsequent to identification by the United States for having vessels
engaged in fishing for sharks on the high seas in a manner not
comparable in effectiveness to the regulatory program of the United

[[Page 35958]]
300.207(c), 300.208(c), and 300.209(c) were approved by OMB on January
16, 2013 (78 FR 3345, 3346).
This final rule notifies the public that the collection-of-
information requirements contained in Sec. Sec. 300.206, 300.207,
300.208, and 300.209 have been approved by OMB and are effective. In
addition, this final rule will update the table on NOAA information
collections approved by OMB that appears under 15 CFR part 902.
Classification
This final rule contains a collection-of-information requirement
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The collection of this
information has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget
under OMB Control Number 0648-0651. The information collection consists
of documentation requirements for exports of fishery products to the
United States from nations that were not positively certified
subsequent to identification by the United States under the procedures
of the High Seas Driftnet Moratorium Protection Act (50 CFR part 300,
subpart N).
Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is
required to respond to, and no person shall be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the PRA, unless that collection of information displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Assistant Administrator for
Fisheries finds that there is good cause to waive prior notice and an
opportunity for public comment on this action, as notice and comment
would be unnecessary. Notice and comment are unnecessary for this
current action because an opportunity for public comment was previously
provided during the rulemaking to establish the collection-of-
information requirement (78 FR 3338) and this current action makes only
minor, non-substantive changes to the table on NOAA information
collections approved by OMB that appears under 15 CFR part 902. No
aspect of this required action is controversial. NMFS therefore
determines that APA requirements for public notice and comment are
unnecessary for this action and determines that this rule is not
subject to the 30-day delay in effectiveness requirement at 5 U.S.C.
553(d).
