(i) If a vehicle manufacturer is not

is not aware of the TIN, at the time the 

incident is initially reported, the 

manufacturer shall submit an updated 

report of such incident in its report 

covering the reporting period in which 

the VIN or TIN is identified. A 

manufacturer need not submit an 

updated report if the VIN or TIN is 

identified by the manufacturer in a 

reporting period that is more than one 

year later than the initial report to 

NHTSA. 

(ii) If a manufacturer indicated code 

99 in its report because a system or 

component had not been identified in 

the claim or notice that led to the report, 

and the manufacturer becomes aware 

during a subsequent calendar quarter 

that one or more of the specified 

systems or components allegedly 

contributed to the incident, the 

manufacturer shall submit an updated 

report of such incident in its report 

covering the reporting period in which 

the involved specified system(s) or 

component(s) is (are) identified. A 

manufacturer need not submit an 

updated report if the system(s) or 

component(s) is(are) identified by the 

manufacturer in a reporting period that 

is more than one year later than the 

initial report to NHTSA.

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of 

Mexico, and South Atlantic; Reef Fish 

Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico; Closure 

of the 2007 Deep-Water Grouper 

Commercial Fishery 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS closes the commercial 

fishery for deep-water grouper (misty 

grouper, snowy grouper, yellowedge 

grouper, warsaw grouper, and speckled 

hind) in the exclusive economic zone 

(EEZ) of the Gulf of Mexico. NMFS has 

determined that the deep-water grouper 

quota for the commercial fishery will 

have been reached by June 2, 2007. This 

closure is necessary to protect the deepwater grouper resource. 

DATES: Closure is effective 12:01 a.m., 

local time, June 2, 2007, until 12:01 

a.m., local time, on January 1, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The reef 

fish fishery of the Gulf of Mexico is 

managed under the Fishery 

Management Plan for the Reef Fish 

Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP). 

The FMP was prepared by the Gulf of 

Mexico Fishery Management Council 

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. Those regulations 

set the commercial quota for deep-water 

grouper in the Gulf of Mexico at 1.02 

million lb (463,636 kg) for the current 

fishing year, January 1 through 

December 31, 2007. 

Under 50 CFR 622.43(a), NMFS is 

required to close the commercial fishery 

for a species or species group when the 

quota for that species or species group 

is reached, or is projected to be reached, 

by filing a notification to that effect with 

the Office of the Federal Register. Based 

on current statistics, NMFS has 

determined that the available 

commercial quota of 1.02 million lb 

(463,636 kg) for deep-water grouper will 

be reached on or before June 2, 2007. 

Accordingly, NMFS is closing the 

commercial deep-water grouper fishery 

in the Gulf of Mexico EEZ from 12:01 

a.m., local time, on June 2, 2007, until 

12:01 a.m., local time, on January 1, 

2008. The operator of a vessel with a 

valid commercial vessel permit for Gulf 

reef fish having deep-water grouper 

aboard must have landed and bartered, 

traded, or sold such deep-water grouper 

prior to 12:01 a.m., local time, June 2, 

2007. 

During the closure, the sale or 

purchase of deep-water grouper taken 

from the Gulf EEZ is prohibited and the 

bag and possession limits specified in 

50 CFR 622.39(b) apply to all harvest or 

possession of deep-water grouper in or 

from the Gulf EEZ, except that no such 

bag limits may be possessed aboard a 

vessel with commercial quantities of 

Gulf reef fish (i.e., Gulf reef fish in 

excess of applicable bag/possession 

limits). The prohibition on sale or 

purchase does not apply to sale or 

purchase of deep-water grouper that 

were harvested, landed ashore, and sold 

prior to 12:01 a.m., local time, June 2, 

2007, and were held in cold storage by 

a dealer or processor. 

Classification 

This action responds to the best 

available scientific information recently 

obtained from the fishery. The Assistant 

Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA, 

finds that the need to immediately 

implement this action to close the 

fishery constitutes good cause to waive 

the requirements to provide prior notice

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 102 / Tuesday, May 29, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 29445 

and opportunity for public comment 

pursuant to the authority set forth in 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), as such procedures 

would be unnecessary and contrary to 

the public interest. Similarly, there is a 

need to implement these measures in a 

timely fashion to prevent an overrun of 

the commercial quota of Gulf of Mexico 

deep-water grouper, given the capacity 

of the fishing fleet to harvest the quota 

quickly. Any delay in implementing this 

action would be impractical and 

contrary to the Magnuson-Stevens Act, 

the FMP, and the public interest. For 

these same reasons, NMFS finds good 

cause that the implementation of this 

action cannot be delayed for 30 days. 

Accordingly, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), a 

delay in the effective date is waived. 

This action is taken under 50 CFR 

622.43(a) and is exempt from review 

under Executive Order 12866. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
