contractors may avail themselves of the 

TCPA’s exemptions to the prior express 

consent requirement, such as calls made 

for ‘‘emergency purposes.’’ Nothing in 

the Commission’s decision impedes the 

ability of local governments or 

contractors to make emergency calls to 

wireless telephone numbers when such 

calls are necessary to protect the health 

and safety of citizens. The Commission 

has recently confirmed, for example, 

that government officials and public 

health care authorities, as well as a 

person under the express direction of 

such organizations and acting on its 

behalf, can make automated calls 

directly related to the imminent health 

or safety risks arising out of the COVID– 

19 pandemic without the prior express 

consent of the called party.

General Services Administration 

Acquisition Regulation; Removing 

Erroneous Guidance on Illustration of 

Forms 

AGENCY: Office of Acquisition Policy, 

General Services Administration (GSA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The General Services 

Administration (GSA) is issuing this 

direct final rule amending the General 

Services Administration Acquisition 

Regulation (GSAR) to make a needed 

technical amendment. This technical 

amendment is to correct the Code of 

Federal Regulations and remove 

erroneous guidance on the illustration 

of forms. 

DATES: Effective: March 15, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

GSA has been conducting a regulatory 

review initiative to identify areas which 

might be revised or eliminated. Upon 

review of GSAR part 553, we uncovered 

a discrepancy between the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) and 

acquisition.gov. The current language in 

subpart 553.2 in the CFR was published 

in the Federal Register, Vol. 64, No. 

131, on July 9, 1999 and has not 

changed since. However, 

acquisition.gov has no such language. It 

is determined that all of the guidance in 

GSAR Part 553 in the CFR should be 

removed. 

II. Discussion of the Rule 

This direct final rule amends the 

GSAR to remove regulations regarding 

forms from subpart 553.2 and section 

553.300. The subpart has no content, 

just the header of ‘‘Illustrations of 

Forms’’. There is no prescription 

information that follows. In addition, 

text at 553.300 contains erroneous 

information on how to obtain copies of 

forms. Therefore, the entirety of GSAR 

Part 553 is unnecessary.

Fisheries Off West Coast States; West 

Coast Salmon Fisheries; Rebuilding 

Coho Salmon Stocks 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: NMFS issues this final rule 

under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (MSA) to approve and 

implement rebuilding plans 

recommended by the Pacific Fishery 

Management Council (Council) for three 

overfished salmon stocks: Juan de Fuca, 

Queets, and Snohomish natural coho 

salmon. NMFS determined in 2018 that 

these stocks were overfished under the 

MSA, due to spawning escapement 

falling below the required level for the 

3-year period 2014–2016. The MSA 

requires overfished stocks to be rebuilt, 

generally within 10 years. 

DATES: This final rule is effective March 

15, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 18, 2018, NMFS notified the 

Council that three stocks of coho salmon 

managed under the Council’s Pacific 

Coast Salmon Fishery Management Plan 

(FMP) met the overfished criteria of the 

FMP and the MSA, and the overfished 

determinations were announced in the 

Federal Register on August 6, 2018 (83 

FR 38292). Overfished is defined in the 

FMP to be when the 3-year geometric 

mean of a salmon stock’s annual 

spawning escapement falls below the 

reference point known as the minimum 

stock size threshold (MSST). The 3-year 

geometric mean of spawning 

escapement fell below MSST for all 

three coho salmon stocks for the period 

2014–2016. In response to the 

overfished determination, the Council 

developed rebuilding plans for these 

stocks, and the rebuilding plans were 

transmitted to NMFS on October 17, 

2019, for approval and implementation. 

NMFS published a proposed rule (85 FR 

61912, October 1, 2020) describing the 

rebuilding plans and soliciting 

comments from the public on the 

proposed rule and on the draft 

environmental assessments (EAs) that 

were prepared under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). 

In this final rule, NMFS approves and 

implements the rebuilding plans for the 

three overfished coho salmon stocks. 

For Juan de Fuca and Queets natural 

coho, this rule adopts the existing 

harvest control rules, which use an 

annual abundance-based stepped 

harvest rate control rule with stockspecific abundance levels governing the 

total exploitation rates applied to 

forecast stock abundance levels. For 

Snohomish natural coho, this final rule 

amends the existing harvest control rule 

by adding a 10-percent buffer to the 

existing escapement goal and adjusting 

the abundance steps during the
