However, authorized tribes are under no obligation to continue to administer the LBP Activities program, and if they do not wish to adopt new DLHS they can relinquish their authorization. In the absence of a Tribal authorization, EPA will administer these requirements. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action. are higher than the nationwide average. The revised hazard standards would reduce exposure to lead for all residents of affected housing. Therefore, EPA has determined that the regulatory options will not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on any population, including any minority population or low-income population. H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks This action is subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is economically significant as defined in Executive Order 12866, and because the environmental health or safety risk addressed by this action may have a disproportionate effect on children. (Ref. 18) The primary purpose of this rule is to reduce exposure to dust-lead hazards in target housing where children reside and in target housing or COFs. EPA’s analysis indicates that there will be approximately 50,000 to 200,000 children per year affected by the rule (Ref. 14). L. Congressional Review Act (CRA) I. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution or Use This action is not a ‘‘significant energy action’’ as defined in Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution or use of energy. khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES J.

Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations This action is not expected to have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority populations, low-income populations and/or indigenous peoples, as specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

The FMP was prepared by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council and is implemented by NMFS under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by regulations at 50 CFR part 622. The commercial ACL for the Other Jacks Complex is 189,422 lb (85,920 kg), round weight. Under 50 CFR 622.193(l)(1)(i), NMFS is required to close the commercial sector for the Other Jacks Complex when the commercial ACL has been reached, or projected to be reached, by filing a notification to that effect with the Office of the Federal Register. NMFS has determined that the commercial sector for this complex is projected to reach its ACL by July 16, 2019.

These recreational bag and possession limits apply in the South Atlantic on board a vessel for which a valid Federal commercial or charter vessel/headboat permit for South Atlantic snappergrouper has been issued, regardless of whether such species were harvested in state or Federal waters. During the commercial closure, the sale or purchase of lesser amberjack, almaco jack, or banded rudderfish taken from the South Atlantic EEZ is prohibited.

Such procedures are unnecessary because the rule implementing the AM itself has been subject to notice and comment, and all that remains is to notify the public of the closure. Such procedures are contrary to the public interest because of the need to immediately implement this action to protect the species in the Other Jacks Complex, since the capacity of the fishing fleet allows for rapid harvest of the commercial ACL.

lesser amberjack, almaco jack, and banded rudderfish complex (Other 
Jacks Complex) commercial sector in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) 
of the South Atlantic for the 2019 fishing year through this temporary 
rule. NMFS projects that commercial landings of the Other Jacks Complex 
will reach the combined commercial annual catch limit (ACL) by July 16,

until the start of the next fishing year on January 1, 2020. This 
closure is necessary to protect the lesser amberjack, almaco jack, and 
banded rudderfish resources.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The snapper-grouper fishery of the South 
Atlantic includes lesser amberjack, almaco jack, and banded rudderfish, 
which combined are the Other Jacks Complex. The Other Jacks Complex is 
managed under the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper-Grouper 
Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (FMP). The FMP was prepared by the 
South Atlantic Fishery Management Council and is implemented by NMFS 
under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by regulations at 50 CFR part 
622.
    The commercial ACL for the Other Jacks Complex is 189,422 lb 
(85,920 kg), round weight. Under 50 CFR 622.193(l)(1)(i), NMFS is 
required to close the commercial sector for the Other Jacks Complex 
when the commercial ACL has been reached, or projected to be reached, 
by filing a notification to that effect with the Office of the Federal 
Register. NMFS has determined that the commercial sector for this 
complex is projected to reach its ACL by July 16, 2019. Therefore, this 
temporary rule implements an AM to close the commercial sector for the 
Other Jacks Complex in the South Atlantic, effective at 12:01 a.m., 
local time, on July 16, 2019.
    The operator of a vessel with a valid commercial permit for South 
Atlantic snapper-grouper having lesser amberjack, almaco jack, or 
banded rudderfish on board must have landed and bartered, traded, or 
sold such species prior to 12:01 a.m., local time, on July 16, 2019. 
During the commercial closure, the recreational bag limit specified in 
50 CFR 622.187(b)(8) and the possession limits specified in 50 CFR 
622.187(c) apply to all harvest or possession of lesser amberjack, 
almaco jack, or banded rudderfish in or from the South Atlantic EEZ, 
while the recreational sector is open. These recreational bag and 
possession limits apply in the South Atlantic on board a vessel for 
which a valid Federal commercial or charter vessel/headboat permit for 
South Atlantic snapper-grouper has been issued, regardless of whether 
such species were harvested in state or Federal waters. During the 
commercial closure, the sale or purchase of lesser amberjack, almaco 
jack, or banded rudderfish taken from the South Atlantic EEZ is 
prohibited.

Classification

    The Regional Administrator for the NMFS Southeast Region has 
determined this temporary rule is necessary for the conservation and 
management of the fish in the Other Jacks Complex, a component of the 
South Atlantic snapper-grouper fishery, and is consistent with the FMP, 
the Magnuson-Stevens Act and other applicable laws.
    This action is taken under 50 CFR 622.193(l)(1)(i) and is exempt 
from review under Executive Order 12866.
    These measures are exempt from the procedures of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act because the temporary rule is issued without 
opportunity for prior notice and public comment.
    This action responds to the best scientific information available. 
The Assistant Administrator for NOAA Fisheries (AA) finds that the need 
to immediately implement this action to close the commercial sector for 
the Other Jacks Complex constitutes good cause to waive the 
requirements to provide prior notice and opportunity for public comment 
pursuant to the authority set forth in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), as such 
procedures are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. Such 
procedures are unnecessary because the rule implementing the AM itself 
has been subject to notice and comment, and all that remains is to 
notify the public of the closure. Such procedures are contrary to the 
public interest because of the need to immediately implement this 
action to protect the species in the Other Jacks Complex, since the 
capacity of the fishing fleet allows for rapid harvest of the 
commercial ACL. Prior notice and opportunity for public comment would 
require time and would potentially result in a harvest well in excess 
of the established commercial ACL.
    For the aforementioned reasons, the AA also finds good cause to 
waive the 30-day delay in the effectiveness of this action under 5 
U.S.C. 553(d)(3).

    Authority:  16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
