Addition, Removals, and Revisions to the List of Validated End-Users in the People's Republic of China
In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to improve the display and readability of the list of Validated End-Users (VEU) and their respective eligible items and destinations; revise the existing VEU listing for the People's Republic of China (PRC) to add one end-user, Shanghai Huahong Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, Ltd. (HHGrace); remove two end-users, Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (GSMC) and Shanghai Huahong NEC Electronics Company, Ltd. (HHNEC); and update the list of eligible items for CSMC Technologies Corporation (CSMC). Specifically, BIS amends Supplement No. 7 to part 748 of the EAR to remove GSMC and HHNEC as a result of the merger of the two companies to create HHGrace, which is being added as a VEU. With this rule, exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) of certain items to three facilities of HHGrace are now authorized under Authorization VEU. In addition, BIS is updating CSMC's list of eligible items in Supplement No. 7 to part 748. These actions are not being taken in response to activities of concern. Rather, the actions are being taken at the companies' request.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Fisheries of the Gulf of Alaska; Amendment 89 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska
The North Pacific Fishery Management Council has submitted Amendment 89 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMP). Amendment 89 would modify the FMP in two ways, if approved. First, Amendment 89 would establish a protection area in Marmot Bay, northeast of Kodiak Island, and close that area to fishing with trawl gear except for directed fishing for pollock with pelagic trawl gear to reduce bycatch of Tanner crab (Chionoecetes bairdi) in Gulf of Alaska (GOA) groundfish fisheries. Second, Amendment 89 would require the use of modified nonpelagic trawl gear when directed fishing for flatfish in the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA and would provide authority in the FMP to specify in regulation the modifications that are required to raise portions of the gear off the sea floor. The use of modified nonpelagic trawl gear in these fisheries would reduce the unobserved injury and mortality of Tanner crab and the potential adverse impacts of nonpelagic trawl gear on bottom habitat. This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the FMP, and other applicable law. Comments from the public are encouraged.
Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic; 2013 Recreational Accountability Measure and Closure for South Atlantic Golden Tilefish
NMFS implements accountability measures (AMs) for the recreational sector of golden tilefish in the South Atlantic for the 2013 fishing year through this temporary rule. Recreational landings from 2012, as estimated by the Science and Research Director (SRD), exceeded the recreational annual catch limit (ACL) for golden tilefish. Furthermore, information from 2013 recreational landings indicate that landings are projected to reach the recreational ACL on June 3, 2013. To account for the 2012 ACL overage and to prevent an ACL overage in 2013, NMFS closes the recreational sector for golden tilefish on June 3, 2013. This closure is necessary to protect the golden tilefish resource.
