SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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 establishes 

controlled airspace at Downtown 

Airport, Springfield, MO. 

History 

On June 25, 2015, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 

establish Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Downtown Airport, Springfield, MO 

(80 FR 36496). Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. No 

comments were received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Z, airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015. FAA 

Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.0 mile radius of Downtown 

Airport, Springfield, MO, to 

accommodate new Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures at the airport. 

This action enhances the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. It, therefore: (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 


srobinson on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 190 / Thursday, October 1, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 59037 

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. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

International Fisheries; Western and 

Central Pacific Fisheries for Highly 

Migratory Species; Fishing Effort and 

Catch Limits and Other Restrictions 

and Requirements 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule; final specifications. 

SUMMARY: NMFS issues a final rule and 

final specifications under authority of 

the Western and Central Pacific 

Fisheries Convention Implementation 

Act (WCPFC Implementation Act). The 

final rule establishes a framework under 

which NMFS will specify limits on 

fishing effort and catches, as well as 

spatial and temporal restrictions on 

particular fishing activities and other 

requirements, in U.S. fisheries for 

highly migratory fish species in the 

western and central Pacific Ocean 

(WCPO). NMFS will issue the 

specifications as may be necessary to 

implement conservation and 

management measures adopted by the 

Commission for the Conservation and 

Management of Highly Migratory Fish 

Stocks in the Western and Central 

Pacific Ocean (Commission or WCPFC). 

The final rule also requires that certain 

U.S. fishing vessels operating in the 

WCPO obtain ‘‘IMO numbers.’’ The final 

rule also includes changes to regulations 

regarding tuna catch retention 

requirements for purse seine vessels, 

requirements to install and carry vessel 

monitoring system (VMS) units, daily 

reporting requirements, and other 

changes that are administrative in 

nature. 

Using the regulatory framework 

described above, NMFS also issues final 

specifications for 2015 that restrict the 

use of fish aggregating devices (FADs) 

by purse seine vessels. 

These actions are necessary to satisfy 

the obligations of the United States 

under the Convention on the 

Conservation and Management of 

Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the 

Western and Central Pacific Ocean 

(Convention), to which it is a 

Contracting Party. 

DATES: Effective November 30, 2015, 

except for the amendments to 

§§ 300.222(xx) and 300.227, and the 

final specifications for 2015, which 

shall be effective October 1, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of supporting 

documents prepared for this final rule, 

including the proposed rule, the 

regulatory impact review (RIR), and the 

programmatic environmental 

assessment (PEA), are available via the 

Federal e-Rulemaking Portal, at 

www.regulations.gov (search for Docket 

ID NOAA–NMFS–2015–0072). Those 

documents are also available from 

NMFS at the following address: Michael 

D. Tosatto, Regional Administrator, 

NMFS, Pacific Islands Regional Office 

(PIRO), 1845 Wasp Blvd., Building 176, 

Honolulu, HI 96818. 

A final regulatory flexibility analysis 

(FRFA) prepared under authority of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act is included in 

the Classification section of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of 

this document. 

Written comments regarding the 

burden-hour estimates or other aspects 

of the collection-of-information 

requirements contained in this final rule 

may be submitted to Michael D. Tosatto, 

Regional Administrator, NMFS PIRO 

(see address above) and by email to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 23, 2015, NMFS published a 

proposed rule and proposed 

specifications in the Federal Register 

(80 FR 43694) to revise regulations at 50 

CFR part 300, subpart O, and to specify 

limits for 2015, to implement decisions 

of the Commission. The proposed rule 

and proposed specifications were open 

for public comment through August 7, 

2015. 

This final rule and final specifications 

are issued under the authority of the 

WCPFC Implementation Act (16 U.S.C. 

6901 et seq.), which authorizes the 

Secretary of Commerce, in consultation 

with the Secretary of State and the 

Secretary of the Department in which 

the United States Coast Guard is 

operating (currently the Department of 

Homeland Security), to promulgate such 

regulations as may be necessary to carry 

out the obligations of the United States 

under the Convention, including the 

decisions of the Commission. The 

Secretary of Commerce may, in certain 

cases, promulgate such regulations in 

accordance with the procedures 

established by the Magnuson-Stevens
