SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Final Rules Section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State’s
SIP submittal as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial
submittal and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this action rule,
no further activity is contemplated. If
EPA receives adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn and
all public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will
not institute a second comment period.
Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse
comment on an amendment, paragraph,
or section of this rule and if that
provision may be severed from the
remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt
as final those provisions of the rule that
are not the subject of an adverse
comment.

Annual Specifications
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
NMFS proposes to implement
annual management measures and
harvest specifications to establish the
allowable catch levels (i.e. annual catch
limit (ACL)/harvest guideline (HG)) for
the northern subpopulation of Pacific
sardine (hereafter, simply Pacific
sardine), in the U.S. Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) off the Pacific
coast for the fishing season of July 1,
2016, through June 30, 2017. This rule
is proposed according to the Coastal
Pelagic Species (CPS) Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). The proposed
action would prohibit directed nontribal Pacific sardine commercial fishing
for Pacific sardine off the coasts of
Washington, Oregon and California,
which is required because the estimated
2016 biomass of Pacific sardine has
dropped below the biomass threshold
specified in the HG control rule. Under
the proposed action, Pacific sardine may
still be harvested as part of either the
live bait or tribal fishery or as incidental
catch in other fisheries; the incidental
harvest of Pacific sardine would
initially be limited to 40-percent by
weight of all fish per trip when caught

with other CPS or up to 2 metric tons
(mt) when caught with non-CPS. The
proposed annual catch limit (ACL) for
the 2016–2017 Pacific sardine fishing
year is 8,000 mt. This proposed rule is
intended to conserve and manage the
Pacific sardine stock off the U.S. West
Coast.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: During
public meetings each year, the estimated
biomass for Pacific sardine is presented
to the Pacific Fishery Management
Council’s (Council) CPS Management
Team (Team), the Council’s CPS
Advisory Subpanel (Subpanel) and the
Council’s Scientific and Statistical
Committee (SSC), and the biomass and
the status of the fishery are reviewed
and discussed. The biomass estimate is
then presented to the Council along
with the calculated overfishing limit
