aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this 

proposed rule would not result in such 

an expenditure, we do discuss the 

effects of this rule elsewhere in this 

preamble. 

8. Taking of Private Property 

This proposed rule would not cause a 

taking of private property or otherwise 

have taking implications under 

Executive Order 12630, Governmental 

Actions and Interference with 

Constitutionally Protected Property 

Rights. 

9. Civil Justice Reform 

This proposed rule meets applicable 

standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform, to minimize litigation, 

eliminate ambiguity, and reduce 

burden. 

10. Protection of Children From 

Environmental Health Risks 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Executive Order 13045, 

Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks. This rule is not an economically 

significant rule and would not create an 

environmental risk to health or risk to 

safety that might disproportionately 

affect children. 

11. Indian Tribal Governments 

This proposed rule does not have 

tribal implications under Executive 

Order 13175, Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal 

Governments, because it would not have 

a substantial direct effect on one or 

more Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes. 

12. Energy Effects 

This proposed rule is not a 

‘‘significant energy action’’ under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. 

13. Technical Standards 

This proposed rule does not use 

technical standards. Therefore, we did 

not consider the use of voluntary 

consensus standards. 

14. Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Department of Homeland 

Security Management Directive 023–01 

and Commandant Instruction 

M16475.lD, which guide the Coast 

Guard in complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have made a preliminary determination 

that this action is one of a category of 

actions that do not individually or 

cumulatively have a significant effect on 

the human environment. This proposed 

rule involves a special local regulation 

involving a high media event and the 

potential for high boating traffic. This 

rule is categorically excluded from 

further review under paragraph 34(h) of 

Figure 2–1 of the Commandant 

Instruction. A preliminary 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination and a 

Categorical Exclusion Determination are 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. We seek any 

comments or information that may lead 

to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this 

proposed rule.

International Fisheries; Pacific Tuna 

Fisheries; Establishment of Tuna 

Vessel Monitoring System in the 

Eastern Pacific Ocean 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Supplemental proposed rule; 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS revises a proposed rule 

published on February 6, 2014, to 

implement Inter-American Tropical 

Tuna Commission (IATTC) Resolution 

C–04–06. Under the original proposed 

rule Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) 

would be required for any U.S. 

commercial fishing vessels that are 24 

meters (78.74 feet) or more in overall 

length and used to target tuna in the 

eastern Pacific Ocean. After publication 

of the proposed rule on February 6, 

2014, the IATTC adopted Resolution C– 

14–02, which expands the applicability 

of the VMS requirements to vessels 

engaged in fishing activities for either 

tuna or tuna-like species; this action 

would implement that expanded 

application. This action would also 

revise the original proposed rule by 

allowing additional conditions to 

authorize a vessel owner or operator to 

shut down a VMS unit, and in a few 

non-substantive ways as described 

below. This rule is intended to ensure 

full U.S. compliance with its 

international obligations under the 

IATTC Convention. 

DATES: Written comments on this 

supplemental proposed rule must be 

received on or before June 18, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on this document, identified by NOAA– 

NMFS–2013–0117, by any of the

Region, 562–980–4036. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

published a proposed rule in the 

Federal Register (79 FR 7152) on 

February 6, 2014, to broaden the 

existing Vessel Monitoring System 

(VMS) requirements in the Pacific 

Ocean and to clarify the applicability of 

VMS requirements to U.S. commercial 

fishing vessels, 24 meters (78.74 feet) or 

more in overall length, used to target 

tuna (i.e., any fish of the genus Thunnus 

or of the species Euthynnus 

(Katsuwonus) pelamis (skipjack tuna)) 

in the waters of the Convention Area. 

The Convention Area is bounded by the 

west coast of the Americas and on the 

north, south, and west respectively, by 

the 50° N. and 50° S. parallels, and the 

150° W. meridian. The original 

proposed rule was intended to ensure 

full U.S. implementation of Resolution 

C–04–06, adopted by the Inter-American 

Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) at 

its 72nd Meeting in June 2004. 

After publication of the original 

proposed rule, the IATTC adopted 

Resolution C–14–02 at its 87th Meeting 

in July 2014, which amends and 

replaces Resolution C–04–06. This 

supplemental proposed rule revises the 

applicability of the VMS requirements 

to reflect Resolution C–14–02 and 

updates other sections of the regulatory 

text that was published in the original 

proposed rule. The regulatory text of the 

original proposed rule is republished in 

this supplemental proposed rule with 

the changes described above and in 

more detail below. 

Background and Need for Action 

A detailed description of the original 

proposed rule was published in the 

preamble to that rule, which is available 

online (https://federalregister.gov/a/

2014-02598) and from NMFS (see 

ADDRESSES). The VMS requirements 

from the original proposed rule are 

briefly summarized here. 

Commercial fishing vessels that are 24 

meters or more in overall length are 

required to install, activate, carry and 

operate VMS units (also known as 

‘‘mobile transmitting units’’). The VMS 

units and mobile communications 

service providers must be typeapproved by NOAA for fisheries in the 

IATTC Convention Area. Information 

for current NOAA type-approved VMS 

units can be obtained from: NOAA,
