require a Statement of Energy Effects 

under Executive Order 13211. 

Technical Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 

U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use 

voluntary consensus standards in their 

regulatory activities unless the agency 

provides Congress, through the Office of 

Management and Budget, with an 

explanation of why using these 

standards would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise impractical. 

Voluntary consensus standards are 

technical standards (e.g., specifications 

of materials, performance, design, or 

operation; test methods; sampling 

procedures; and related management 

systems practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guides the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f). A final 

‘‘Environmental Analysis Check List’’

and a final ‘‘Categorical Exclusion 

Determination’’ will be available in the 

docket where indicated under

assistance. This document updates the 

specified income levels to reflect the 

annual amendments to the Federal 

Poverty Guidelines as issued by the 

Department of Health and Human

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1007(a)(2) of the Legal Services 

Corporation Act (‘‘Act’’), 42 U.S.C. 

2996f(a)(2), requires the Corporation to 

establish maximum income levels for 

individuals eligible for legal assistance,

specified factors shall be taken into 

account along with income. 

Section 1611.3(b) of the Corporation’s 

regulations establishes a maximum 

income level equivalent to one hundred 

and twenty-five percent (125%) of the 

Federal Poverty Guidelines. Since 1982, 

the Department of Health and Human

125% of the current Federal Poverty 

Guidelines as published on January 24, 

2006 (71 FR 3848). 

In addition, LSC is publishing charts 

listing income levels that are 200% of 

the Federal Poverty Guidelines. These 

charts are for reference purposes only as 

an aid to grant recipients in assessing 

the financial eligibility of an applicant 

whose income is greater than 125% of 

the applicable Federal Poverty 

Guidelines amount, but less than 200% 

of the applicable Federal Poverty 

Guidelines amount (and who may be 

found to be financially eligible under 

duly adopted exceptions to the annual 

income ceiling in accordance with 

sections 1611.3, 1611.4 and 1611.5).

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of

Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic; Trip 

Limit Increase 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; inseason trip 

limit increase. 

SUMMARY: NMFS increases the trip limit 

in the commercial hook-and-line fishery 

for king mackerel in the Florida east 

coast subzone to 75 fish per day in or 

from the exclusive economic zone 

(EEZ). This trip limit increase is 

necessary to maximize the 

socioeconomic benefits of the quota. 

DATES: This rule is effective 12:01 a.m., 

local time, February 1, 2006, through 

March 31, 2006, unless changed by 

further notification in the Federal 

Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

fishery for coastal migratory pelagic fish 

(king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, cero, 

cobia, little tunny, and, in the Gulf of 

Mexico only, dolphin and bluefish) is 

managed under the Fishery 

Management Plan for the Coastal 

Migratory Pelagic Resources of the Gulf 

of Mexico and South Atlantic (FMP). 

The FMP was prepared by the Gulf of 

Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery 

Management Councils (Councils) and is 

implemented under the authority of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act) by regulations 

at 50 CFR part 622. 

Based on the Councils’ recommended 

total allowable catch and the allocation 

ratios in the FMP, on April 30, 2001 (66 

FR 17368, March 30, 2001) NMFS 

implemented a commercial quota of 

2.25 million lb (1.02 million kg) for the 

eastern zone (Florida) of the Gulf 

migratory group of king mackerel. That 

quota is further divided into separate 

quotas for the Florida east coast subzone 

and the northern and southern Florida 

west coast subzones. The quota 

implemented for the Florida east coast 

subzone is 1,040,625 lb (472,020 kg) (50 

CFR 622.42(c)(1)(i)(A)(1)). 

In accordance with 50 CFR 

622.44(a)(2)(i), beginning on February 1, 

if less than 75 percent of the Florida east 

coast subzone quota has been harvested 

by that date, king mackerel in or from 

that subzone may be possessed on board 

or landed from a permitted vessel in 

amounts not exceeding 75 fish per day. 

The 75–fish daily trip limit will 

continue until a closure of the subzone’s 

fishery has been effected or the fishing 

year ends on March 31, 2006. 

NMFS has determined that 75 percent 

of the quota for Gulf group king 

mackerel for vessels using hook-andline gear in the Florida east coast 

subzone will not be reached before 

February 1, 2006. Accordingly, a 75–fish 

trip limit applies to vessels in the 

commercial hook-and-line fishery for 

king mackerel in or from the EEZ in the 

Florida east coast subzone effective 

12:01 a.m., local time, February 1, 2006. 

The 75–fish trip limit will remain in 

effect until the fishery closes or until the 

end of the current fishing season (March
