SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 28, 2022, the Department published in the Federal Register final regulations that, among other things, establish requirements for postsecondary educational institutions to offer PEPs (87 FR 65426), effective July 1, 2023. The approval process for new PEPs under § 668.237(b) requires SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 18255 review by the postsecondary educational institution’s accrediting agency. Specifically, under § 668.237(b)(4), the accrediting agency must have reviewed and approved the methodology for how the institution, in collaboration with the oversight entity, made the determination that the prison education program meets the same standards as substantially similar programs that are not prison education programs at the institution. Under § 668.236(a)(3), however, the oversight entity is not required to make this determination until two years after the initial PEP is approved to operate by the Department. We are correcting § 668.237(b)(4) by adding the words ‘‘If the requirements of § 668.236(a)(3) are satisfied,’’ to make clear that, as part of its review of new PEPs, the accrediting agency reviews the referenced methodology only after the two-year period set forth in § 668.236(a)(3).

ACTION: Final rule; correction. AGENCY: NMFS is correcting a final rule for in-season action announcement procedures for commercial Pacific bluefin tuna (PBF) that appeared in the Federal Register on January 27, 2023. In that rule, NMFS did not address a public comment because of an error on the deadline for comment submissions. This correction responds to the comment, which does not change the action in the January 27 final rule. DATES: Effective March 28, 2023. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Celia Barroso, NMFS, 562–432–1850, Celia.Barroso@noaa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 27, 2023, NMFS published a final rule on in-season action announcement procedures for PBF (88 FR 5273). Due to an error on the deadline for comment submissions, NMFS did not see, and therefore did not respond, to a public comment submitted during the public comment period of the proposed rule. Upon learning of this error, NMFS immediately took steps to issue this correction to the final rule that addresses the comment. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:02 Mar 27, 2023 Jkt 259001 Classification The NMFS Assistant Administrator has determined that this final rule is consistent with the Tuna Conventions Act and other applicable laws. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866. Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and comment procedures for rules when the agency for ‘‘good cause’’ finds that those procedures are ‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’’ The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries determined that there is good cause to waive prior notice and an opportunity for public comment on this action because this action is simply to correct an inadvertent error in the January 27 final rule (88 FR 5273) that would not change the final action. Immediate correction of the error is necessary to adequately respond to public comments received during the proposed rulemaking stage in accordance with the APA. Under section 553(d) of the APA, an agency must delay the effective date of regulations for 30 days after the date of publication, unless the agency finds good cause to make the regulations effective sooner. For the same reasons stated above, the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries has determined good cause exists to waive the 30-day delay in the date of effectiveness. This correction only addresses a public comment but does not change the action in the January 27 final rule, which became effective on February 27, 2023, and NMFS does not anticipate in-season action on PBF until spring 2023 at the earliest. Delaying effectiveness of the January 27 final rule due to this correction would result in confusion among fishery participants and increase the risk of exceeding PBF catch limits, and would therefore be contrary to public interest. The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604, requires an agency to prepare an initial and a final regulatory flexibility analysis whenever an agency is required by section 553 of the APA or any other law to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking. Because NMFS found good cause under section 553(b)(3)(B) of the APA to forgo publication of a notice of proposed rulemaking, the regulatory flexibility analyses described in 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604 are not required for this rulemaking. Paperwork Reduction Act This final rule contains no collection of information requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Correction In FR Rule Doc. 2023–01447 (88 FR 5273), appearing in the Federal Register on Friday, January 27, 2023, the following corrections are made: 1. On page 5273, in the second column, in the second paragraph, the last sentence is revised to read, ‘‘NMFS received two public comments on the proposed rule, which are addressed later in this preamble.’’ 2. On page 5273, in the third column, above the Classification section, a new section is added to read as follows: Public Comments and Responses NMFS received two public comments on the proposed rule. One comment, from an individual commenter, voiced general support for management actions to conserve Pacific bluefin tuna (PBF). The other comment, from the Center for Biological Diversity, asserted that NMFS has failed to consider the impacts to protected species of the proposed rule and asked NMFS to delay publication of the final rule until an updated Endangered Species Act (ESA) consultation on the impacts of the drift gillnet fleet on humpback whales is ‘‘complete.’’ NMFS has considered the comment and will not change the final rule to implement the previously described revision in regulations. The comment included two main components, and NMFS’ response to each component is below. Component 1: The commenter asserts that, because drift gillnet catches of PBF have increased, NMFS mischaracterized these catches as ‘‘incidental.’’ The commenter also states that this is illustrated by NMFS characterizing the purse seine fleet as targeting PBF when the majority of the purse seine-caught landings, or tuna landings, are not PBF. NMFS Response to Component 1: NMFS acknowledges the drift gillnet fleet off of the West Coast catches and retains various marketable species, including PBF. Drift gillnet has a long history of catching PBF incidentally, and it has always been a marketable species that contributes to drift gillnet revenues (see Pacific Fisheries Information Network [PacFIN] Apex Reports Highly Migratory Species SAFE Reports 003 and 009 at https:// pacfin.psmfc.org/). PBF have become more abundant in U.S. waters in recent years and, therefore, are more likely to be caught. Additionally, this coincides with a reduction in landings (PacFIN) in recent years and anecdotal evidence from fishermen that swordfish were locally less abundant off California in 2021 and 2022, which may be the cause for the landings composition presented in the comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 28, 2022, the Department 
published in the Federal Register final regulations that, among other 
things, establish requirements for postsecondary educational 
institutions to offer PEPs (87 FR 65426), effective July 1, 2023. The 
approval process for new PEPs under Sec.  668.237(b) requires review by 
the postsecondary educational institution's accrediting agency. 
Specifically, under Sec.  668.237(b)(4), the accrediting agency must 
have reviewed and approved the methodology for how the institution, in 
collaboration with the oversight entity, made the determination that 
the prison education program meets the same standards as substantially 
similar programs that are not prison education programs at the 
institution. Under Sec.  668.236(a)(3), however, the oversight entity 
is not required to make this determination until two years after the 
initial PEP is approved to operate by the Department.
    We are correcting Sec.  668.237(b)(4) by adding the words ``If the 
requirements of Sec.  668.236(a)(3) are satisfied,'' to make clear 
that, as part of its review of new PEPs, the accrediting agency reviews 
the referenced methodology only after the two-year period set forth in 
Sec.  668.236(a)(3).
