Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission will take all reasonable
steps to protect the confidentiality of all
Commission-held data of a reverse
auction applicant consistent with the
confidentiality requirements of the
Spectrum Act and the Commission’s
rules. See 47 U.S.C. 1452(a)(3); 47 CFR
1.2206. In addition, to the extent
necessary, a full power or Class A
television broadcast licensee may
request confidential treatment of any
report of a prohibited communication
submitted to the Commission that is not
already being treated as confidential
pursuant to section 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules. See 47 CFR 0.459.
Forward auction applicants are entitled
to request confidentiality in accordance
with section 0.459 of the Commission’s
rules, 47 CFR 0.459.
Needs and Uses: In the Broadcast
Incentive Auction Report and Order, the
Commission adopted new requirements
for parties that might participate in the
reverse auction component of the
television broadcast incentive auction
(BIA) prohibiting certain
communications and requiring a
covered party that makes or receives a
prohibited communication to file a
report of such a communication with
the Commission, along with procedures
for reporting potentially prohibited
communications. See 47 CFR 1.2205(b),
(c), (d). The Commission’s rules
prohibiting certain communications in
Commission auctions are designed to
reinforce existing antitrust laws,
facilitate detection of collusive conduct,
and deter anticompetitive behavior,
without being so strict as to discourage
procompetitive arrangements between
auction participants. They also help
assure participants that the auction
process will be fair and objective, and
not subject to collusion. The revised
information collection implements the
new BIA-specific rules in sections
1.2205(c) and 1.2205(d) by making clear
the responsibility of parties who receive
information that potentially violates the
rules to promptly submit a report
notifying the Commission, thereby
helping the Commission enforce the
prohibition on covered parties in the
BIA, and further assuring incentive
auction participants that the auction
process will be fair and competitive.
The prohibited communication
reporting requirement required of
covered parties will enable the
Commission to ensure that no bidder
gains an unfair advantage over other
bidders in its auctions and thus
enhances the competitiveness and
fairness of Commission’s auctions. The
information collected will be reviewed

and, if warranted, referred to the
Commission’s Enforcement Bureau for
possible investigation and

may also refer allegations of
anticompetitive auction conduct to the
Department of Justice for investigation.

ACTION: Temporary rule; Swordfish
General Commercial permit retention
limit inseason adjustment for Northwest
Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and U.S.

AGENCY:
NMFS is adjusting the
Swordfish (SWO) General Commercial
permit retention limits for the
Northwest Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and
U.S. Caribbean regions for January
through June of the 2016 fishing year,
unless otherwise noticed. The SWO
General Commercial permit retention
limits in each of these regions are
increased from the default limits to six
SWO per vessel per trip. The SWO
General Commercial permit retention
limit in the Florida SWO Management
Area will remain unchanged at the
default limit of zero SWO per vessel per
trip. This adjustment applies to SWO
General Commercial permitted vessels
and Highly Migratory Species (HMS)
Charter/Headboat permitted vessels
when on a non for-hire trip. This action
is based upon consideration of the
applicable inseason regional retention
limit adjustment criteria.
DATES: The adjusted SWO General
Commercial permit retention limits in
the Northwest Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico,
and U.S. Caribbean regions are effective
January 1, 2016, through June 30, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulations implemented under the
authority of the Atlantic Tunas
Convention Act (ATCA; 16 U.S.C. 971 et
seq.) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act; 16 U.S.C. 1801
et seq.) governing the harvest of North
Atlantic SWO by persons and vessels
subject to U.S. jurisdiction are found at
50 CFR part 635. Section 635.27
subdivides the U.S. North Atlantic SWO
quota recommended by the
International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
into two equal semi-annual directed
fishery quotas, an annual incidental
catch quota for fishermen targeting other
species or taking SWO recreationally,
and a reserve category, per the
allocations established in the 2006
Consolidated Highly Migratory Species
Fishery Management Plan (2006
Consolidated HMS FMP) (71 FR 58058,
October 2, 2006), as amended, and in
accordance with implementing
regulations. NMFS is required under
ATCA and the Magnuson-Stevens Act to
provide U.S. fishing vessels with a
reasonable opportunity to harvest the
ICCAT-recommended quota.
The 2016 adjusted North Atlantic
SWO quota is expected to be 3,359.4 mt
dw (equivalent to the 2015 adjusted
quota). From the adjusted quota, 50 mt
dw would be allocated to the reserve
category for inseason adjustments and
research, and 300 mt dw would be
allocated to the incidental category,
which includes recreational landings
and landings by incidental SWO permit
holders, per § 635.27(c)(1)(i). This
would result in an allocation of 3,009.4
mt dw for the directed fishery, which
would be split equally (1,504.7 mt dw)
between two seasons in 2016 (January
through June, and July through
December).
Adjustment of SWO General
Commercial Permit Vessel Retention
Limits
The 2016 North Atlantic SWO fishing
year, which is managed on a calendaryear basis and divided into two equal
semi-annual quotas, will begin on
January 1, 2016. Landings attributable to
the SWO General Commercial permit
are counted against the applicable semiannual directed fishery quota. Regional
default retention limits for this permit
have been established and are
automatically effective from January 1
through December 31 each year, unless
changed based on the inseason regional
retention limit adjustment criteria at
§ 635.24(b)(4)(iv). The default retention
limits established for the SWO General
Commercial permit are: (1) Northwest

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission will take all
reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of all Commission-held
data of a reverse auction applicant consistent with the confidentiality
requirements of the Spectrum Act and the Commission's rules. See 47
U.S.C. 1452(a)(3); 47 CFR 1.2206. In addition, to the extent necessary,
a full power or Class A television broadcast licensee may request
confidential treatment of any report of a prohibited communication
submitted to the Commission that is not already being treated as
confidential pursuant to section 0.459 of the Commission's rules. See
47 CFR 0.459. Forward auction applicants are entitled to request
confidentiality in accordance with section 0.459 of the Commission's
rules, 47 CFR 0.459.
Needs and Uses: In the Broadcast Incentive Auction Report and
Order, the Commission adopted new requirements for parties that might
participate in the reverse auction component of the television
broadcast incentive auction (BIA) prohibiting certain communications
and requiring a covered party that makes or receives a prohibited
communication to file a report of such a communication with the
Commission, along with procedures for reporting potentially prohibited
communications. See 47 CFR 1.2205(b), (c), (d). The Commission's rules
prohibiting certain communications in Commission auctions are designed
to reinforce existing antitrust laws, facilitate detection of collusive
conduct, and deter anticompetitive behavior, without being so strict as
to discourage procompetitive arrangements between auction participants.
They also help assure participants that the auction process will be
fair and objective, and not subject to collusion. The revised

sections 1.2205(c) and 1.2205(d) by making clear the responsibility of
parties who receive information that potentially violates the rules to
promptly submit a report notifying the Commission, thereby helping the
Commission enforce the prohibition on covered parties in the BIA, and
further assuring incentive auction participants that the auction

reporting requirement required of covered parties will enable the
Commission to ensure that no bidder gains an unfair advantage over
other bidders in its auctions and thus enhances the competitiveness and
fairness of Commission's auctions. The information collected will be
reviewed and, if warranted, referred to the Commission's Enforcement
Bureau for possible investigation and administrative action. The
Commission may also refer allegations of anticompetitive auction
conduct to the Department of Justice for investigation.
