Address
Waste description
If any of this information is determined by EPA in its sole discretion to be false, inaccurate or incomplete, and upon conveyance of this fact to the company, I recognize and agree that this exclusion of
waste will be void as if it never had effect or to the extent directed by EPA and that the company
will be liable for any actions taken in contravention of the company’s RCRA and CERCLA obligations premised upon the company’s reliance on the void exclusion.’’
(5) Reopener:
(A) If any time after disposal of the delisted waste Samsung possesses or is otherwise made aware of
any environmental data (including but not limited to underflow water data or ground water monitoring data) or any other data relevant to the delisted waste indicating that any constituent identified
for the delisting verification testing is at level higher than the delisting level allowed by the Division
Director in granting the petition, then the facility must report the data, in writing, to the Division Director within 10 days of first possessing or being made aware of that data.
(B) If either the verification testing (and retest, if applicable) of the waste does not meet the delisting
requirements in paragraph 1, Samsung must report the data, in writing, to the Division Director within 10 days of first possessing or being made aware of that data.
(C) If Samsung fails to submit the information described in paragraphs (5),(6)(A) or (6)(B) or if any
other information is received from any source, the Division Director will make a preliminary determination as to whether the reported information requires EPA action to protect human health and/or
the environment. Further action may include suspending, or revoking the exclusion, or other appropriate response necessary to protect human health and the environment.
(D) If the Division Director determines that the reported information requires action by EPA, the Division Director will notify the facility in writing of the actions the Division Director believes are necessary to protect human health and the environment. The notice shall include a statement of the
proposed action and a statement providing the facility with an opportunity to present information as
to why the proposed EPA action is not necessary. The facility shall have 10 days from receipt of the
Division Director’s notice to present such information.
(E) Following the receipt of information from the facility described in paragraph (6)(D) or (if no information is presented under paragraph (6)(D)) the initial receipt of information described in paragraphs
(5), (6)(A) or (6)(B), the Division Director will issue a final written determination describing EPA actions that are necessary to protect human health and/or the environment. Any required action described in the Division Director’s determination shall become effective immediately, unless the Division Director provides otherwise.
(6) Notification Requirements:
Samsung must do the following before transporting the delisted waste. Failure to provide this notification will result in a violation of the delisting petition and a possible revocation of the decision.
(A) Provide a one-time written notification to any state Regulatory Agency to which or through which it
will transport the delisted waste described above for disposal, 60 days before beginning such activities.
(B) For onsite disposal, a notice should be submitted to the State to notify the State that disposal of
the delisted materials has begun.
(C) Update one-time written notification, if it ships the delisted waste into a different disposal facility.
(D) Failure to provide this notification will result in a violation of the delisting exclusion and a possible
revocation of the decision.

The Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS, has determined that 900 mt of
the Atka mackerel ICA for the BS/EAI
will not be harvested. Therefore, in
accordance with § 679.91(f), NMFS

1 Section 679.20(a)(8)(ii) allocates the Atka mackerel TACs, after subtracting the CDQ reserves, jig gear allocation, and ICAs, to the Amendment 80 and BSAI trawl limited access sectors. The allocation of the ITAC for Atka mackerel to the Amendment 80 and BSAI trawl limited access sectors is established in Table 33 to 50 CFR part 679 and § 679.91. The CDQ reserve is 10.7 percent of the TAC for use by CDQ participants (see §§ 679.20(b)(1)(ii)(C) and 679.31).
2 Sections 679.20(a)(8)(ii)(A) and 679.22(a) establish temporal and spatial limitations for the Atka mackerel fishery.
3 The seasonal allowances of Atka mackerel are 50 percent in the A season and 50 percent in the B season.
4 Section 679.23(e)(3) authorizes directed fishing for Atka mackerel with trawl gear during the A season from January 20 to June 10 and the B
season from June 10 to December 31.
5 Section 679.20(a)(8)(ii)(C)(1)(i) limits no more than 60 percent of the annual TACs in Areas 542 and 543 to be caught inside of critical habitat; § 679.20(a)(8)(ii)(C)(1)(ii) equally divides the annual TACs between the A and B seasons as defined at § 679.23(e)(3); and
§ 679.20(a)(8)(ii)(C)(2) requires the TAC in Area 543 shall be no more than 65 percent of ABC.
6 Section 679.20(a)(8)(i) requires that up to 2 percent of the Eastern Aleutian District and the Bering Sea subarea TAC be allocated to jig gear
after subtracting the CDQ reserve and ICA. The amount of this allocation is 0.5 percent. The jig gear allocation is not apportioned by season.
Note: Seasonal or sector apportionments may not total precisely due to rounding.
This will enhance the socioeconomic
well-being of harvesters dependent
upon Atka mackerel in this area. The
Regional Administrator considered the
following factors in reaching this
decision: (1) The current catch of Atka
mackerel ICA in the BS/EAI, (2) the
harvest capacity and stated intent on
future harvesting patterns of the
Amendment 80 cooperatives that
participate in this BS/EAI fishery.

under authority of the MagnusonStevens 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 C season apportionment of the
2017 total allowable catch (TAC) of
pollock in Statistical Area 610 of the
GOA is 23,483 metric tons (mt) as
established by the final 2017 and 2018
harvest specifications for groundfish in
the GOA (82 FR 12032, February 27,
2017) and inseason adjustment (82 FR
41567, September 1, 2017).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Regional Administrator has
determined that the C season
apportionment of the 2017 TAC of
pollock in Statistical Area 610 of the
GOA will soon be reached. Therefore,
the Regional Administrator is
establishing a directed fishing
allowance of 23,300 mt and is setting
aside the remaining 183 mt as bycatch
to support other anticipated groundfish
fisheries. In accordance with
§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional
Administrator finds that this directed

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 Atka mackerel ICA for the BS/EAI is 1,000 metric tons (mt)
and 2017 Atka mackerel total allowable catch allocated to the Amendment
80 cooperatives is 26,694 mt as established by the final 2017 and 2018
harvest
[[Page 45741]]
specifications for groundfish in the BSAI (82 FR 11826; February 27,
2017).
The Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS, has determined that 900 mt
of the Atka mackerel ICA for the BS/EAI will not be harvested.
Therefore, in accordance with Sec. 679.91(f), NMFS reallocates 900 mt
of Atka mackerel from the BS/EAI ICA to the Amendment 80 cooperatives
in the BSAI. In accordance with Sec. 679.91(f), NMFS will reissue
cooperative quota permits for the reallocated Atka mackerel following
the procedures set forth in Sec. 679.91(f)(3).
The harvest specifications for Atka mackerel included in the
harvest specifications for groundfish in the BSAI (82 FR 11826;
February 27, 2017) are revised as follows: 100 mt of Atka mackerel for
the BS/EAI ICA and 27,594 mt of Atka mackerel for the Amendment 80

notification is necessary to allow for the orderly conduct and
efficient operation of this fishery, to allow the industry to plan for
the fishing season, and to avoid potential disruption to the fishing
fleet as well as processors. NMFS was unable to publish a notice
providing time for public comment because the most recent, relevant
data only became available as of September 19, 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 Sec. 679.91 and is exempt from review
under Executive Order 12866.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
Dated: September 27, 2017.
Alan D. Risenhoover,
Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries
Service.
