Federal Awarding Agency Regulatory
Implementation of Office of
Management and Budget’s Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards; Correction and
Technical Amendments
Department of Health and

ACTION: Interim final rule; correction
and technical amendments.
AGENCY:
The Department of Health and
Human Services published a document
containing technical amendments in the
Federal Register on January 20, 2016,
revising the Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles and
Audit Requirements for HHS Awards.
That document inadvertently failed to
update the following: A provision in
Appendix II; an improper citation; a
recent OMB change; and a grammatical
error. This document makes correcting
amendments to correct these sections.
DATES: Effective on April 4, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HHS is
correcting its regulations in line with FR
Doc. 2014–28697, published on
December 19, 2014 (79 FR 75871),
entitled ‘‘Federal Awarding Agency

System of Award Management;
Corrections’’, published on September
10, 2015 (80 FR 54407), made by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). HHS adopts the correcting
amendments made by OMB. HHS is also
making amendments to address citation
or grammatical inconsistencies, to
amend incomplete statements in the
regulation, and to update existing HHS
regulations to incorporate 45 CFR part
75. The correcting amendments will go
into effect at the time of publication.
This is the second set of corrections.
The first set of corrections was
published in the Federal Register on
January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3004). This
document augments the corrections
which were published in the Federal
Register on January 20, 2016 (81 FR
3004). This document includes a
corresponding change made by OMB to
2 CFR 200 on November 9, 2015 (80 FR
69111) that was omitted from the first
set of corrections. This document also
removes instruction 197c on page 3018
in the Federal Register on January 20,
2016 (81 FR 3004), which as published
attempted to amend the wrong appendix
in 45 CFR part 75. Because that
instruction cited the wrong appendix,
that amendment could not be
incorporated into the CFR.
Correction
In the Federal Register issue of
January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3004), make the
following correction:
On page 3018, in the third column,
remove amendatory instruction 197c.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
NMFS implements approved
measures in Framework 4 to the
Atlantic Herring Fishery Management
Plan. The New England Fishery
Management Council developed
Framework 4 to further enhance catch
monitoring and address discarding in
the herring fishery. The approved
measures include: A requirement that
vessels report slippage (i.e., catch
discarded prior to sampling by an
observer) via the vessel monitoring
system; slippage consequences

measures (i.e., requirement to move 15
nautical miles (27.78 km) or return to
port following a slippage event); and
clarifications to existing slippage
measures and definitions. NMFS
disapproved two measures in
Framework 4. These measures would
have required: Fish holds to be certified
and observers to collect volumetric
catch estimates of total catch; and fish
holds to be empty of fish before leaving
port, unless a waiver is issued by an
authorized law enforcement officer.
NMFS disapproved these measures
because it determined that they are
inconsistent with the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, the Administrative Procedure Act,
and the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Therefore, those two measures are not
implemented in this action. Lastly,
NMFS implements minor corrections to
regulations to clarify their intent and
ensure they are consistent with the
Atlantic Herring Fishery Management
Plan.
DATES: Effective May 4, 2016.
ADDRESSES: The New England Fishery
Management Council (Council)
developed an environmental assessment
(EA) for this action that describes the
proposed action and other considered
alternatives and provides a thorough
analysis of the impacts of the proposed
measures and alternatives. Copies of the
framework, the EA, and the Regulatory
Impact Review (RIR)/Initial Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis (IRFA), are
available upon request from Thomas A.
Nies, Executive Director, New England
Fishery Management Council, 50 Water
Street, Newburyport, MA 01950. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Council adopted Framework
Adjustment 4 to the Atlantic Herring
Fishery Management Plan at its April
22, 2014, meeting. The Council
submitted Framework 4 to NMFS for
review on July 18, 2014, and
resubmitted it to NMFS on February 27,
2015, and April 30, 2015. The proposed

rule for Framework 4 published in the
Federal Register on August 27, 2015 (80
FR 52005), with a 30-day public
comment period that ended September
28, 2015. NMFS received four comment
letters on the proposed rule.
NMFS implements approved
measures in Framework 4 to the
Atlantic Herring Fishery Management
Plan (Herring FMP) and minor
corrections to existing regulations in
this final rule. The Council developed
Framework 4 to build on catch
monitoring improvements implemented
in Amendment 5 to the Herring FMP (79
FR 8786, February 13, 2014) by further
enhancing catch monitoring and
addressing discarding in the herring
fishery. The approved measures in
Framework 4 clarify the slippage
definition, require limited access
herring vessels to report slippage events
on the daily vessel monitoring system
(VMS) catch report, and establish
slippage consequences. Slippage
consequence measures require vessels
with All Areas (Category A) or Areas 2/
3 (Category B) Limited Access Herring
Permits to move 15 nautical miles
(27.78 km) following an allowable
slippage event (i.e., slippage due to
safety, mechanical failure, or excess
catch of spiny dogfish) and to terminate
a fishing trip and return to port
following a non-allowable slippage
event (i.e., slippage for any other
reason). NMFS also makes minor
corrections to new and existing
regulations. These revisions, identified
and described below, are necessary to
clarify current regulations or the intent
of the Herring FMP, and do not change
the intent of any regulations.
NMFS disapproved two measures
recommended by the Council in
Framework 4. Those measures would
have required: Herring vessel fish holds
to be certified and observers to collect
volumetric catch estimates on herring
trips as a cross-check of vessel and
dealer data; and herring vessel fish
holds to be empty of fish before leaving
port, unless a waiver is issued by an
authorized law enforcement officer.
During the development of Framework
4, NMFS expressed its concern with the
lack of support for these two measures
in Framework 4. Specifically, NMFS
commented that these measures are not
likely to improve catch monitoring, but
they would result in compliance and
enforcement costs. Despite NMFS
urging, the Council did not include
sufficient support for these two
measures in Framework 4. Framework 4
does not provide evidence of specific
problems with catch monitoring or
discarding that need to be addressed,
nor does it demonstrate how these

SUMMARY: The Department of Health and Human Services published a
document containing technical amendments in the Federal Register on
January 20, 2016, revising the Uniform Administrative Requirements,
Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for HHS Awards. That document
inadvertently failed to update the following: A provision in Appendix
II; an improper citation; a recent OMB change; and a grammatical error.
This document makes correcting amendments to correct these sections.
DATES: Effective on April 4, 2016.

Grants, Office of Grants and Acquisition Policy and Accountability,
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources, U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, email: Audrey.Clarke@hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HHS is correcting its regulations in line
with FR Doc. 2014-28697, published on December 19, 2014 (79 FR 75871),
entitled ``Federal Awarding Agency Regulatory Implementation of Office
of Management and Budget's Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards'', the ``Guidance
for Reporting and Use of Information Concerning Recipient Integrity and
Performance'' to 2 CFR part 200, published on July 22, 2015 (80 FR
43301), and ``Universal Identifier and System of Award Management;
Corrections'', published on September 10, 2015 (80 FR 54407), made by
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). HHS adopts the correcting
amendments made by OMB. HHS is also making amendments to address
citation or grammatical inconsistencies, to amend incomplete statements
in the regulation, and to update existing HHS regulations to
incorporate 45 CFR part 75. The correcting amendments will go into
effect at the time of publication.
This is the second set of corrections. The first set of corrections
was published in the Federal Register on January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3004).
This document augments the corrections which were published in the
Federal Register on January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3004). This document
includes a corresponding change made by OMB to 2 CFR 200 on November 9,
2015 (80 FR 69111) that was omitted from the first set of corrections.
This document also removes instruction 197c on page 3018 in the Federal
Register on January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3004), which as published attempted
to amend the wrong appendix in 45 CFR part 75. Because that instruction
cited the wrong appendix, that amendment could not be incorporated into
the CFR.
Correction
In the Federal Register issue of January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3004),
make the following correction:
On page 3018, in the third column, remove amendatory instruction
