Safety. 
Adoption of the Amendment 
Accordingly, under the authority 
delegated to me by the Administrator, 
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: 
PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 
DIRECTIVES 
■1. The authority citation for part 39 
continues to read as follows: 
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 
§ 39.13 [Amended] 
■2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 
the following new airworthiness directive (AD): 
2017–05–03 Airbus Helicopters 
Deutschland GmbH (Previously 
Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH): Amendment 39–18813; Docket No. FAA–2017–0155; Directorate Identifier 2016–SW–051–AD.

This AD becomes effective March 17, 2017. 
(d) Compliance 
You are responsible for performing each 
action required by this AD within the specified compliance time unless it has 
already been accomplished prior to that time. 
(e) Required Actions 
Within 10 hours TIS, and thereafter at 
intervals not to exceed 50 hours TIS: 
(1) Inspect by tap test each MRB for 
debonding of the shell. 
(2) If the shell has debonded in any area, 
before further flight, repair any debonding 
that does not exceed the maximum repair damage limits, or replace the MRB.

TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS COMPLIANCE BOARD 
36 CFR Parts 1193 and 1194 
RIN 3014–AA37 
Information and Communication 
Technology (ICT) Standards and Guidelines 
AGENCY : Architectural and 
Transportation Barriers Compliance Board. 
ACTION : Final rule; delay of effective 
date. 
SUMMARY : The Architectural and 
Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) is briefly postponing the effective date of its recently-promulgated final rule that establishes revised accessibility standards and guidelines for information and communication technology (ICT). The ICT final rule was published in the Federal Register on 
January 18, 2017, and is scheduled to become effective on March 20, 2017. A brief postponement of this effective date is necessitated by the memorandum from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending Review’’ (Jan. 20, 2017), which generally calls on Federal agencies to delay the effective dates of published, but not-yet-effective, final rules for 60 days from the date of the memorandum. The ICT final rule will take effect on March 21, 2017. 
DATES : The effective date of the final 
rule published on January 18, 2017 at 82 FR 5790 is delayed to March 21, 2017. However, compliance with the section 508-based standards is not required until January 18, 2018, which is one year after the final rule’s original publication date. Compliance with the section 255-based guidelines is not required until the guidelines are adopted by the Federal Communications Commission. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the final rule published on January 18, 2017 at 82 FR 5790 is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of March 21, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : On 
January 18, 2017, the Access Board issued a final rule that revised and

updated, in a single rulemaking, our 
existing standards for information and technology (ICT) covered by section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (which includes, among other things, ICT developed, procured, maintained, or used by Federal agencies) (hereafter, ‘‘Revised 508 Standards’’), and our existing guidelines for telecommunications equipment and customer premises equipment covered by Section 255 of the Communications Act of 1934 (hereafter, ‘‘Revised 255 Guidelines.’’). See Information and 
Communication Technology Standards and Guidelines, 82 FR 5790 (Jan. 18, 2017) (to be codified at 36 CFR parts 1193 and 1194). The published notice for the ICT final rule provided that the rule would take effect on March 20, 2017. 
Subsequently, on January 20, 2017, 
the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, issued a memorandum entitled ‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending Review.’’ This memorandum instructed Federal departments and agencies, among other things, to temporarily postpone for 60 days (dating from the date of the memorandum) the effective dates of their respective regulations that had been published in the Federal Register but were not yet effective. 
In accordance with the January 20 
memorandum, the Access Board is briefly postponing the effective date of the ICT final rule until March 21, 2017, which represents a one-day delay in the effective date of this final rule relative to its originally-scheduled effective date. There is no change to the substance of the Revised 508 Standards or Revised 255 Guidelines. Nor does this brief postponement of the effective date alter the compliance date for certain ICT covered by the Revised 508 Standards, which remains January 18, 2018 (i.e., one year after original 
publication date of ICT final rule). 
Pursuant to the Administrative 
Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553), the Access Board generally provides interested parties the opportunity to comment on proposed regulations and publishes rules not less than 30 days before their effective dates. However, the APA provides that an agency is not required to conduct notice-and- comment rulemaking or delay effective dates when the agency, for good cause, 
finds that these procedural requirements would be impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. See 5 
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and (d)(3). Here, a one- day postponement of the effective date of the ICT final rule, as called for in the January 20 memorandum, would neither delay the final rule’s implementation to any material degree nor alter the originally-established compliance date for the Revised 508 Standards. Accordingly, because a one-day delay in the effective date of the ICT final rule will have no material impact on its implementation, the Access Board finds that good cause exists to exempt the instant rule from notice-and-comment requirements. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). 
Additionally, because a one-day postponement of the ICT final rule’s originally-published effective date will have no substantive impact, the instant rule is being made effective upon publication in the Federal Register and, in any event, a 30-day delay in its effective date would be impracticable and unnecessary in these circumstances. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) (exempting 
substantive rules from requisite 30-day delay in effective date upon finding of good cause).

Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; 
Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Fisheries 
AGENCY : National Marine Fisheries 
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce. 
ACTION : Temporary rule; annual 
adjustment of Atlantic bluefin tuna Purse Seine and Reserve category quotas; inseason quota transfer from the Reserve category to the Longline category. 
SUMMARY : NMFS is adjusting the 
Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) Purse Seine and Reserve category quotas for 2017, as it does annually. NMFS is also transferring inseason 45 metric tons (mt) of BFT quota from the Reserve category to the Longline category. This action is based on consideration of the regulatory determination criteria regarding inseason adjustments. NMFS has decided that the transfer to the Longline category will be distributed to permitted Atlantic Tunas Longline vessels with recent fishing activity, rather than to all qualified Individual Bluefin Quota (IBQ) shares recipients. As a result of this 
transfer, the associated IBQ accounts will each receive 1,102 lb (0.5 mt) of IBQ. 
DATES : Effective February 28, 2017, 
through December 31, 2017.

Sarah McLaughlin, Tom Warren, or Brad McHale, 978–281–9260, or Carrie Soltanoff, 301–427–8503. 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
Regulations implemented under the 
authority of the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA; 16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act; 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) governing the harvest of BFT by persons and vessels subject to U.S. jurisdiction are found at 50 CFR part 635. Section 635.27 subdivides the U.S. BFT quota recommended by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) among the various domestic fishing categories, per the allocations established in the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (2006 Consolidated HMS FMP) (71 FR 58058, October 2, 2006), as amended by Amendment 7 to the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP (Amendment 7) (79 FR 71510, December 2, 2014). NMFS is required under ATCA and the Magnuson-Stevens Act to provide U.S. fishing vessels with a reasonable opportunity to harvest the ICCAT- recommended quota. 
Annual Adjustment of the BFT Purse 
Seine and Reserve Category Quotas 
In 2015, NMFS implemented a final 
rule that increased the U.S. BFT quota and subquotas consistent with ICCAT Recommendation 14–05 (80 FR 52198, August 28, 2015). As a result, based on the currently codified U.S. quota of 1,058.79 mt (not including the 25 mt allocated by ICCAT to the United States to account for bycatch of BFT in pelagic longline fisheries in the Northeast Distant Gear Restricted Area), the baseline Purse Seine, Longline, and Reserve category quotas are codified as 184.3 mt, 148.3 mt, and 24.8 mt, respectively. See § 635.27(a). 
Pursuant to § 635.27(a)(4), NMFS has 
determined the amount of quota available to individual Atlantic Tunas Purse Seine category participants in 2017, based on their BFT catch (landings and dead discards) in 2016. In accordance with the regulations, NMFS is making available to each Purse Seine category participant either 100 percent, 75 percent, 50 percent, or 25 percent of the individual baseline quota
