principles and preemption requirements
described in Executive Order 13132.
Also, this rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes. If you
believe this rule has implications for
federalism or Indian tribes, please

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have
determined that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves the
establishment of a permanent safety
zone in a small section of the Lower
Niagara River. It is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your

In accordance with 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,’’ this action
temporarily delays, until June 5, 2017,
the effective date of the final rule titled
‘‘Minimum Training Requirements for
Entry-Level Commercial Motor Vehicle
Operators,’’ initially effective on
February 6, 2017.
DATES: The effective date of the final
rule published on December 8, 2016 (81
FR 88732), delayed to March 21, 2017
at 82 FR 8903 and then further delayed
to May 22, 2017 at 82 FR 14476, is
further delayed until June 5, 2017.

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 delayed the effective date of this
regulation until May 22, 2017 (82 FR
14476, March 21, 2017). The Agency
now delays the effective date until June
5, 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 June 5,
2017, is necessary to provide the
opportunity for further review and
consideration of this new regulation,
consistent with the January 20, 2017,

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
NMFS is prohibiting directed
fishing for sablefish by vessels using
trawl gear in the Bering Sea subarea of
the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
management area (BSAI). This action is
necessary to prevent exceeding the 2017
sablefish initial total allowable catch

BSAI.
DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local
time (A.l.t.), May 18, 2017, through 2400
hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Steve Whitney, 907–586–7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
BSAI according to the Fishery
Management Plan for Groundfish of the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area (FMP) prepared by
the North Pacific Fishery Management
Council under authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act.
Regulations governing fishing by U.S.
vessels in accordance with the FMP
appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600
and 50 CFR part 679.
The 2017 sablefish trawl ITAC in the
Bering Sea subarea of the BSAI is 541
metric tons (mt) as established by the
final 2017 and 2018 harvest
specifications for groundfish in the
BSAI (82 FR 11826; February 27, 2017).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i), the
Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS
(Regional Administrator), has
determined that the 2017 sablefish trawl
ITAC in the Bering Sea subarea of the
BSAI will soon be reached. Therefore,
the Regional Administrator is
establishing a directed fishing
allowance of 350 mt, and is setting aside
the remaining 191 mt as incidental
catch. In accordance with
§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional
Administrator finds that this directed
fishing allowance has been reached.
Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting
directed trawl fishing for sablefish in
the Bering Sea subarea of the BSAI.
After the effective date of this closure
the maximum retainable amounts at

§ 679.20(e) and (f) apply at any time
during a trip.
Classification
This action responds to the best
available information recently obtained
from the fishery. The Acting Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA
(AA), finds good cause to waive the
requirement to provide prior notice and
opportunity for public comment
pursuant to the authority set forth at 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as such a requirement
is impracticable and contrary to the
public interest. This requirement is
impracticable and contrary to the public
interest as it would prevent NMFS from
responding to the most recent fisheries
data in a timely fashion and would
delay the directed fishing closure for
sablefish by vessels using trawl gear in
the Bering Sea subarea of the BSAI.
NMFS was unable to publish a notice
providing time for public comment
because the most recent, relevant data
only became available as of May 17,
2017.
The AA also finds good cause to
waive the 30-day delay in the effective
date of this action under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3). This finding is based upon
the reasons provided above for waiver of
prior notice and opportunity for public
comment.
This action is required by § 679.20
and is exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
