On August 12, 2016, FRA
published a final rule requiring
commuter and intercity passenger
railroads to develop and implement a
system safety program (SSP) to improve
the safety of their operations. On
February 10, 2017, FRA stayed the SSP
final rule’s requirements until March 21,
2017. This document extends that stay
until May 22, 2017.
DATES: Effective March 20, 2017, 49 CFR

SUMMARY:

To provide time for that review, FRA
needs to extend the stay until May 22,
2017.
FRA’s implementation of this action
without opportunity for public
comment is based on the good cause
exceptions in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and
553(d)(3), in that seeking public
comment is impracticable, unnecessary
and contrary to the public interest. The
delay in the effective date until May 22,
2017, is necessary to provide the
opportunity for further review and
consideration of this new regulation,
consistent with the new
Administration’s January 20, 2017
guidance. Given the imminence of the
effective date of the ‘‘System Safety
Program’’ final rule, seeking prior public
comment on this temporary delay
would be impractical, as well as
contrary to the public interest in the
orderly promulgation and
implementation of regulations.

In accordance with the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
FMCSA
bases this action on the Presidential
directive as expressed in the
memorandum of January 20, 2017, from
the Assistant to the President and Chief
of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Freeze
Pending Review’’ (the January 20, 2017,
memorandum). That memorandum
directed the heads of Executive
Departments and Agencies to
temporarily postpone for 60 days from
the date of the memorandum the
effective dates of certain regulations that
had been published in the Federal
Register, but had not yet taken effect.
Because the original effective date of the
final rule published on December 8,
2016, fell within that 60-day window,
the effective date of the rule was
extended to March 21, 2017, in a final
rule published on February 1, 2017 (82
FR 8903). Consistent with the
memorandum of the Assistant to the
President and Chief of Staff, and as
stated in the February 1, 2017, final rule
delaying the effective date, the Agency
further delays the effective date of this
regulation until May 22, 2017.
The Agency’s implementation of this
action without opportunity for public
comment is based on the good cause
exceptions in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and
553(d)(3), in that seeking public
comment is impracticable, unnecessary
and contrary to the public interest. The
delay in the effective date until May 22,
2017, is necessary to provide the
opportunity for further review and
consideration of this new regulation,
consistent with the January 20, 2017,
memorandum. Given the imminence of
the effective date of the ‘‘Minimum

final rule, seeking prior public comment
on this temporary delay would be
impractical, as well as contrary to the
public interest in the orderly

NMFS implements
accountability measures (AMs) for the
greater amberjack recreational sector in
the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of
the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) for the 2017
fishing year through this temporary rule.
NMFS has determined that the 2016
recreational annual catch limit (ACL) for
Gulf greater amberjack was exceeded;
therefore, NMFS reduces the greater
amberjack recreational ACL and annual
catch target (ACT) in 2017. NMFS has
also determined that the reduced
recreational ACT for Gulf greater
amberjack will be reached by March 24,
2017. Therefore, the greater amberjack
recreational season in the Gulf EEZ will
close on March 24, 2017. This closure
is necessary to protect the Gulf greater
amberjack resource.
DATES: This rule is effective from 12:01
a.m., local time, March 24, 2017, until
12:01 a.m., local time, on January 1,
2018.

Regional Office, telephone: 727–824–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the Gulf reef fish fishery,
which includes greater amberjack,
under the Fishery Management Plan for
the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf
(FMP). The Gulf of Mexico Fishery
Management Council (Council)
prepared the FMP and NMFS
implements the FMP under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by
regulations at 50 CFR part 622. All
greater amberjack weights discussed in
this temporary rule are in round weight.
The 2017 recreational ACL for Gulf
greater amberjack specified in 50 CFR
622.41(a)(2)(iii) is 1,255,600 lb (569,531
kg) and the recreational ACT specified
in 50 CFR 622.39(a)(2)(ii) is 1,092,372 lb
(495,492 kg). However, NMFS has
determined that in 2016, the
recreational harvest of greater amberjack
exceeded the 2016 recreational ACL by
756,631 lb (343,202 kg). Under 50 CFR
622.41(a)(2)(ii), NMFS is required to
reduce the recreational ACT and the
recreational ACL for greater amberjack
in the year following an overage of the
recreational ACL, by the amount of any
recreational overage in the prior fishing
year. Therefore, NMFS reduces the
recreational ACL for greater amberjack
in 2017 to 498,969 lb (226,329 kg) and
the recreational ACT to 335,741 lb
(152,290 kg).
Under 50 CFR 622.41(a)(2)(i), NMFS
is required to close the recreational
sector for greater amberjack when the
recreational ACT is reached, or is

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Presidential directive as expressed in
the memorandum of January 20, 2017, from the Assistant to the President

published on December 8, 2016 (81 FR 88732), delayed until March 21,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FMCSA bases this action on the Presidential
directive as expressed in the memorandum of January 20, 2017, from the
Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled ``Regulatory
Freeze Pending Review'' (the January 20, 2017, memorandum). That
memorandum directed the heads of Executive Departments and Agencies to
temporarily postpone for 60 days from the date of the memorandum the
effective dates of certain regulations that had been published in the
Federal Register, but had not yet taken effect. Because the original
effective date of the final rule published on December 8, 2016, fell
within that 60-day window, the effective date of the rule was extended
to March 21, 2017, in a final rule published on February 1, 2017 (82 FR
8903). Consistent with the memorandum of the Assistant to the President
and Chief of Staff, and as stated in the February 1, 2017, final rule
delaying the effective date, the Agency further delays the effective
date of this regulation until May 22, 2017.
The Agency's implementation of this action without opportunity for
public comment is based on the good cause exceptions in 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3), in that seeking public comment is
impracticable, unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. The
delay in the effective date until May 22, 2017, is necessary to provide

imminence of the effective date of the ``Minimum Training Requirements

seeking prior public comment on this temporary delay would be
impractical, as well as contrary to the public interest in the orderly
