Executive Order 12898, entitled
‘‘Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income
Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994).
Since tolerances and exemptions that
are established on the basis of a petition
under FFDCA section 408(d), such as
the tolerances in this final rule, do not
require the issuance of a proposed rule,
the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.), do not apply.
This action directly regulates growers,
food processors, food handlers, and food
retailers, not States or tribes, nor does
this action alter the relationships or
distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress
in the preemption provisions of FFDCA
section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency
has determined that this action will not
have a substantial direct effect on States
or tribal governments, on the
relationship between the national
government and the States or tribal
governments, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian
tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined
that Executive Order 13132, entitled
‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999) and Executive Order 13175,
entitled ‘‘Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply
to this action. In addition, this action
does not impose any enforceable duty or
contain any unfunded mandate as
described under Title II of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C.
1501 et seq.).
This action does not involve any
technical standards that would require
Agency consideration of voluntary
consensus standards pursuant to section
12(d) of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act
(NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

ACTION: Temporary rule; trip limit
reduction.
AGENCY:
NMFS reduces the
commercial trip limit for vermilion
snapper in or from the exclusive
economic zone (EEZ) of the South
Atlantic to 500 lb (227 kg), gutted
weight. This trip limit reduction is
necessary to protect the South Atlantic
vermilion snapper resource.
DATES: This rule is effective 12:01 a.m.,
local time, September 10, 2015, until
12:01 a.m., local time, January 1, 2016.

SUMMARY:
The
snapper-grouper fishery in the South
Atlantic includes vermilion snapper and
is managed under the Fishery
Management Plan for the SnapperGrouper Fishery of the South Atlantic
Region (FMP). The FMP was prepared
by the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council and is
implemented by NMFS under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by
regulations at 50 CFR part 622.
The commercial ACL (commercial
quota) for vermilion snapper in the
South Atlantic is divided into two, 6month periods. The commercial quota is
394,829 lb (179,091 kg), gutted weight,

438,260 lb (198,791 kg), round weight,
for January 1 through June 30, 2015, and
394,829 lb (179,091 kg), gutted weight,
438,260 lb (198,791 kg), round weight,
for July 1 through December 31, 2015,
as specified in 50 CFR
622.190(a)(4)(i)(C) and (ii)(C),
respectively. Any unused portion of the
January 1 through June 30, 2015, fishing
season commercial quota is added to the
July 1 through December 31, 2015,
fishing season commercial quota, as
specified in 50 CFR 622.190(a)(4)(iii). In
2015, there was no unused commercial
quota for the January through June
period as the commercial sector reached
its quota during the first 6-month
period. The sector was closed on April
15, 2015, through June 30, 2015 (80 FR
19243, April 10, 2015).
Under 50 CFR 622.191(a)(6)(ii), NMFS
is required to reduce the commercial
trip limit for vermilion snapper from
1,000 lb (454 kg), gutted weight, 1,110
lb (503 kg), round weight, to 500 lb (227
kg), gutted weight, 555 lb (252 kg),
round weight, when 75 percent of the
fishing season quota is reached or is
projected to be reached, by filing a
notification to that effect with the Office
of the Federal Register, as implemented
by the final rule for Regulatory
Amendment 18 to the FMP (78 FR
47574, August 6, 2013). Based on
current data, NMFS has determined that
75 percent of the available vermilion
snapper commercial quota for the July 1
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:57 Sep 03, 2015
Jkt 235001
through December 31, 2015, fishing
season will be reached on or before
September 10, 2015. Accordingly,
NMFS is reducing the commercial trip
limit for vermilion snapper to 500 lb
(227 kg), gutted weight, 555 lb (252 kg),
round weight, in or from the South
Atlantic EEZ at 12:01 a.m., local time,
on September 10, 2015. This 500-lb
(227-kg), gutted weight, 555-lb (252-kg),
round weight, trip limit will remain in
effect until the commercial sector
reaches its quota and the sector closes,
or through December 31, 2015,
whichever occurs first.
Classification
The Regional Administrator,
Southeast Region, NMFS, has
determined this temporary rule is
necessary for the conservation and
management of South Atlantic
vermilion snapper and is consistent
with the Magnuson-Stevens Act and
other applicable laws.
This action is taken under 50 CFR
622.191(a)(6) 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
scientific information available. The
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,
NOAA (AA), finds that the need to
immediately implement this
PO 00000
Frm 00018

Sfmt 9990
commercial trip limit reduction
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), because prior notice
and opportunity for public comment on
this temporary rule is unnecessary and
contrary to the public interest. Such
procedures are unnecessary, because the
rule establishing the trip limit reduction
has already been subject to notice and
comment, and all that remains is to
notify the public of the trip limit. They
are contrary to the public interest,
because there is a need to immediately
implement this action to protect the
vermilion snapper resource since the
capacity of the fishing fleet allows for
rapid harvest of the quota. Prior notice
and opportunity for public comment on
this action would require time and
would increase the probability that the
commercial sector could exceed the
quota.
For the aforementioned reasons, the
AA also finds good cause to waive the
30-day delay in the effectiveness of this
action under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
