and 1852.235–73, Final Scientific and 

Technical Reports, by deleting the street 

address and substituting the Internet 

address. 

This is not a significant regulatory 

action and, therefore, was not subject to 

review under Section 6(b) of Executive 

Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. This 

interim rule is not a major rule under 5 

U.S.C. 804. 

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act does 

not apply to this final rule. This final 

rule does not constitute a significant 

revision within the meaning of FAR 

1.501 and Public Law 98–577, and 

publication for public comment is not 

required. However, NASA will consider 

comments from small entities 

concerning the affected NFS coverage in 

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested 

parties should cite 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., 

in correspondence. 

C. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act (Pub. 

L. 104-13) is not applicable because the 

NFS changes do not impose information 

collection requirements that require the 

approval of the Office of Management 

and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et 

seq.

States; Atlantic Herring Fishery; Total 

Allowable Catch Harvested for 

Management Area 1B 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces that 95 

percent of the Atlantic herring total 

allowable catch (TAC) allocated to 

Management Area 1B (Area 1B) for 

fishing year 2006 is projected to be 

harvested by December 8, 2006. 

Therefore, effective 0001 hours, 

December 8, 2006, federally permitted 

vessels may not fish for, catch, possess, 

transfer or land more than 2,000 lb 

(907.2 kg) of Atlantic herring in or from 

Area 1B per trip or calendar day until 

January 1, 2007, when the 2007 TAC 

becomes available, except for transiting 

purposes as described in this document. 

Regulations governing the Atlantic 

herring fishery require publication of 

this notification to advise vessel and 

dealer permit holders that 95 percent of 

the Atlantic herring TAC allocated to 

Area 1B has been harvested, and no 

TAC is available for the directed fishery 

for Atlantic herring harvested from Area 

1B.

December 8, 2006, through 2400 hrs 

local time, December 31, 2006.

71074 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 236 / Friday, December 8, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 

The regulations at 50 CFR 648.202 

require the Administrator, Northeast 

Region, NMFS (Regional Administrator) 

to monitor the Atlantic herring fishery 

in each of the four management areas 

designated in the Fishery Management 

Plan for the Atlantic Herring Fishery 

and, based upon dealer reports, state 

data, and other available information, to 

determine when the harvest of Atlantic 

herring is projected to reach 95 percent 

of the TAC allocated. When such a 

determination is made, NMFS is 

required to publish notification in the 

Federal Register of this determination. 

Effective upon a specific date, NMFS 

must notify vessel and dealer permit 

holders that vessels are prohibited from 

fishing for, catching, possessing, 

transferring or landing more than 2,000 

lb (907.2 kg) of herring per trip or 

calendar day in or from the specified 

management area for the remainder of 

the closure period. Transiting of Area 

1B is allowed under the conditions 

specified below. 

The Regional Administrator has 

determined, based upon dealer reports 

and other available information, that 95 

percent of the total Atlantic herring TAC 

allocated to Area 1B for the 2006 fishing 

year is projected to be harvested by 

December 8, 2006. Therefore, effective 

0001 hrs local time, December 8, 2006, 

federally permitted vessels may not fish 

for, catch, possess, transfer or land more 

than 2,000 lb (907.2 kg) of Atlantic 

herring in or from Area 1B per trip or 

calendar day through December 31, 

2006; except a vessel may transit, or 

land herring in Area 1B with more than 

2,000 lb (907.2 kg) of herring on board, 

provided such herring were not caught 

in Area 1B, and provided all fishing gear 

is stowed and not available for 

immediate use as required by ’

648.23(b). Effective December 8, 2006, 

federally permitted dealers are also 

advised that they may not purchase 

Atlantic herring from federally 

permitted Atlantic herring vessels that 

harvest more than 2,000 lb (907.2 kg) of 

Atlantic herring from Area 1B through 

December 31, 2006, 2400 hrs local time. 

Classification 

This action is required by 50 CFR part 

648 and is exempt from review under
