71312 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 231 / Tuesday, December 2, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

updating the airport name and 

geographic coordinates of Apalachicola 

Regional Airport, formerly Apalachicola 

Municipal Airport, Apalachicola, FL. 

This is an administrative change and 

does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, 

or operating requirements of the 

surrounding controlled airspace, 

therefore, notice and public procedure 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it amends 

controlled airspace in Apalachicola, FL.

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

removing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Halifax County Airport, Roanoke 

Rapids, NC. The airport has been 

abandoned, therefore, no longer requires 

controlled airspace. This is an 

administrative change and does not 

affect the boundaries, altitudes, or 

operating requirements of the 

surrounding controlled airspace, 

therefore, notice and public procedure 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Gulf of Alaska Trawl 

Economic Data Report 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: NMFS issues a final rule to 

implement the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) 

Trawl Economic Data Report Program to 

evaluate the economic effects of current 

and potential future fishery 

management measures for the GOA 

trawl fisheries. This data collection 

program will provide the North Pacific 

Fishery Management Council (Council) 

and NMFS with baseline economic 

information on harvesters, crew, 

processors, and communities active in 

the GOA trawl fisheries, which will be 

used to assess the impacts of anticipated 

future GOA trawl groundfish 

management measures on stakeholders. 

The data collected for this program will 

be submitted by owners and 

leaseholders of GOA trawl vessels, 

owners and leaseholders of processors 

receiving deliveries from those trawl 

vessels, and owners and leaseholders of 

trawl catcher/processors. The types of 

data collected will include, but not be 

limited to, labor data, revenues, capital 

and operational expenses, and other 

operational or financial data. This 

action is intended to promote the goals 

and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), the 

Fishery Management Plan for 

Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska, and 

other applicable laws. 

DATES: Effective: January 1, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Electronic copies of this

Hartman, 907–586–7228 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

manages the groundfish fisheries in the 

exclusive economic zone of the GOA 

and Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

Management Area under the Fishery 

Management Plan for Groundfish of the 

Gulf of Alaska and the Fishery 

Management Plan for Groundfish of the 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

Management Area (collectively, the 

FMPs). The Council prepared these 

FMPs under the authority of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 

et seq. Regulations implementing the 

FMPs appear at 50 CFR part 679. 

General regulations governing U.S. 

fisheries also appear at 50 CFR part 600. 

This final rule implements the Gulf of 

Alaska Trawl Economic Data Report 

Program to collect baseline economic 

data on the GOA trawl groundfish 

fishery. The data will help the Council 

and NMFS to evaluate the effect of a 

prospective GOA trawl catch share 

management program on harvesters, 

processors, and communities. The 

program will collect data annually from 

January 1, 2015, onward and require 

that participants submit the data in an 

economic data report (EDR). The 

program will minimize the economic 

data reporting burden by only collecting 

reliable, relevant data that NMFS cannot 

obtain from existing data collections. 

The Council is considering new 

management measures so participants in 

the GOA trawl fisheries can efficiently 

reduce prohibited species catch (PSC). 

One of the management measures the 

Council is considering for the GOA 

groundfish trawl fishery is a catch share 

program. A catch share program 

allocates exclusive harvest privileges for 

certain groundfish or shellfish species to 

specific fishery participants. An 

exclusive harvest privilege allows 

fishery participants to tailor their 

fishing operations, such as choosing 

when to fish, with their available 

groundfish or other species allocation. 

This contrasts with open access 

programs, where participants engage in 

a ‘‘race for fish’’ with other fishery 

participants seeking to maximize their 

harvest before the total allowable catch 

is reached.
