protecting the privacy of the employee
to allow the successor nonprofit agency
to conduct interviews with those
identified employees. If selected
employees agree, the deauthorized
nonprofit agency shall release them at a
mutually agreeable date and negotiate
transfer of their earned fringe benefits
and other relevant employment and
Program eligibility information to the
successor nonprofit agency. The
requirement for a successor nonprofit
agency to offer the right of first refusal
also applies to an authorized nonprofit
agency that is no longer serving as the
mandatory source because of a
competitive distribution under § 51–
3.4(d) of this chapter.

1. The authority citation for part 73
continues to read as follows:
This document amends the
Table of FM Allotments, of the Federal
Communications Commission’s
(Commission) rules, by reinstating
certain channels as a vacant FM
allotment in various communities. The
FM allotments were previously removed
from the FM Table because a
construction permit and/or license was
granted. These FM allotments are now
considered vacant because of the
cancellation of the associated FM
authorizations or the dismissal of longform auction FM applications. A staff
engineering analysis confirms that all of
the vacant FM allotments complies with
the Commission’s regulations. The
window period for filing applications
for these vacant FM allotments will not
be opened at this time. Instead, the issue
of opening these allotments for filing
will be addressed by the Commission in
subsequent order.
DATES: Effective March 22, 2024.

50 CFR Part 648
[Docket No.: 240314–0080]
RIN 0648–BM78
Fisheries of the Northeastern United
States; Framework Adjustment 38 to
the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery
Management Plan
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
NMFS approves and
implements the measures included in
Framework Adjustment 38 to the
Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery
Management Plan as adopted and
submitted by the New England Fishery
Management Council. Framework 38
establishes scallop specifications and
other measures for fishing years 2024
and 2025. Framework 35 implements
measures to protect small scallops
which would thereby support rotational
access area trips to the fleet in future
years. To promote uniformity in the
fishery, this final rule also corrects and
clarifies regulatory text that is
unnecessary, outdated, or unclear. This
action is necessary to prevent
overfishing and improve both yield-perrecruit and the overall management of
the Atlantic sea scallop resource.
DATES: Effective on April 1, 2024, except
for the amendment to § 648.10(c)(1)(ii),
which is effective April 22, 2024.
ADDRESSES: The New England Fishery
Management Council (Council) has
prepared an environmental assessment
(EA) for this action that describes the
SUMMARY:
measures in Framework 38 and other
considered alternatives and analyzes the
impacts of the measures and
alternatives. The Council submitted
Framework 38 to NMFS that includes
the draft EA, a description of the
Council’s preferred alternatives, the
Council’s rationale for selecting each
alternative, and an Initial Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis (IRFA). Copies of
the draft of Framework 38, the draft EA,
the IRFA, and information on the
economic impacts of this rulemaking are
available upon request from Dr. Cate
O’Keefe, Executive Director, New
England Fishery Management Council,
50 Water Street, Newburyport, MA
01950 and accessible via the internet in
documents available at: https://

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Travis Ford, Fishery Policy Analyst,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The New
England Fishery Management Council
adopted Framework Adjustment 38 to
the Atlantic Sea Scallop FMP on
December 6, 2023. The Council
submitted Framework 38, including a
draft EA, for NMFS review and approval
on February 26, 2024. NMFS published
a proposed rule for Framework 38 on
February 12, 2024 (89 FR 9819). To help
ensure that the final rule would be
implemented before the start of the
fishing year on April 1, 2024, the
proposed rule included a 15-day public
comment period that closed on February
27, 2024. Except as explained below
with respect to section 305(d), NMFS is
issuing this rule pursuant to
304(b)(1)(A) rulemaking authority.
NMFS has approved all of the measures
in Framework 38 recommended by the
Council. This final rule implements
Framework 38, which sets scallop
specifications and other measures for
fishing years 2024 and 2025, including
changes to the catch, effort, and quota
allocations and adjustments to the
rotational area management program for
20341
fishing year 2024, and default
specifications for fishing year 2025. The
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) allows NMFS
to approve, partially approve, or
disapprove measures proposed by the
Council based on whether the measures
are consistent with the FMP, the
Magnuson-Stevens Act and its National
Standards, and other applicable law.
Details concerning the development of
these measures were contained in the
preamble of the proposed rule and are
not repeated here. This final rule also
addresses regulatory text that is
unnecessary, outdated, or unclear
pursuant to section 305(d) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act.
Specification of Scallop Overfishing
Limit (OFL), Acceptable Biological
Catch (ABC), Annual Catch Limits
(ACL), Annual Catch Targets (ACT),
Annual Projected Landings (APL) and
Set-Asides for the 2024 Fishing Year,
and Default Specifications for Fishing
Year 2025
The Council set the OFL based on a
fishing mortality rate (F) of 0.61,
equivalent to the F threshold updated
through the Northeast Fisheries Science
Center’s most recent scallop benchmark
stock assessment that was completed in
September 2020. The ABC and the
equivalent total ACL for each fishing
year are based on an F of 0.45, which
is the F associated with a 25-percent
probability of exceeding the OFL. The
Council’s Scientific and Statistical
Committee (SSC) recommended scallop
fishery ABCs of 47.4 million pounds (lb;
21,497 metric tons (mt)) for 2024 and
49.8 million lb (22,586 mt) for the 2025
fishing year, after accounting for
discards and incidental mortality. The
SSC will reevaluate and potentially
adjust the ABC for 2025 when the
Council develops the next framework
adjustment.
Table 1 outlines the scallop fishery
catch limits.
