Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), part 71 by amending Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface to accommodate 

new standard instrument approach 

procedures at Commerce Municipal 

Airport, Commerce, TX. Small segments 

would extend from the current 6.3-mile 

radius of the airport to 9.5 miles north 

and 9.3 miles south of the airport to 

provide adequate controlled airspace for 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. Geographic 

coordinates would also be updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012, and 

effective September 15, 2012, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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 will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this rule, 

when promulgated, will 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 would 

amend controlled airspace at Commerce 

Municipal Airport, Commerce, TX. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E,

Fisheries of the Northeastern United

Amendment 5 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Proposed rule, request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS proposes regulations to 

implement measures in Amendment 5 

to the Atlantic Herring Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP). Amendment 5 

was developed by the New England 

Fishery Management Council (Council) 

to: Improve the collection of real-time, 

accurate catch information; enhance the 

monitoring and sampling of catch at-sea; 

and address bycatch issues through 

responsible management. The proposed 

Amendment 5 management measures 

include: Revising fishery management 

program provisions (permitting 

provisions, dealer and vessel reporting 

requirements, measures to address 

herring carrier vessels, regulatory 

definitions, requirements for vessel 

monitoring systems, and trip 

notifications); increasing observer 

coverage and requiring industry to 

contribute funds towards the cost of 

increased observer coverage; expanding 

vessel requirements to maximize 

observer’s ability to sample catch at-sea; 

minimizing the discarding of 

unsampled catch; addressing the 

incidental catch and bycatch of river 

herring; and revising the criteria for 

midwater trawl vessels’ access to 

groundfish closed areas. 

DATES: Public comments must be 

received no later than July 18, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of supporting 

documents used by the Council, 

including the Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) and Regulatory Impact 

Review (RIR)/Initial Regulatory 

Flexibility Analysis (IRFA), are 

available from: Thomas A. Nies, 

Executive Director, New England 

Fishery Management Council, 50 Water 

Street, Newburyport, MA 01950. The 

EIS/RIR/IRFA is also accessible via the 

internet at http://www.nero.nmfs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 8, 2008 (73 FR 26082), the 

Council published a notice of intent 

(NOI) to prepare an EIS for Amendment 

4 to the Atlantic Herring FMP to 

consider measures to: Improve longterm monitoring of catch (landings and 

bycatch) in the herring fishery, 

implement annual catch limits (ACLs) 

and accountability measures (AMs) 

consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (MSA), and develop a sector 

allocation process or other limited 

access privilege program for the herring
