read as follows: 

§ 51.900 Definitions. 

* * * * * 

(v) Summer day emissions means an 

average day’s emissions for a typical 

summer work weekday. The state will 

select the particular month(s) in 

summer and the day(s) in the work 

week to be represented. The selection of 

conditions should be coordinated with 

the conditions assumed in the 

development of RFP plans, ROP plans 

and demonstrations, and/or emissions 

budgets for transportation conformity, to 

allow comparability of daily emission 

estimates. 

■ 12. Revise § 51.915 to read as follows:

New Source Performance Standards 

and National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants; Delegation 

of Authority to Albuquerque-Bernalillo 

County Air Quality Control Board 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule; delegation of 

authority. 

SUMMARY: The Albuquerque-Bernalillo 

County Air Quality Control Board 

(ABCAQCB) has submitted updated 

regulations for receiving delegation of 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) authority for implementation and 

enforcement of New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) and 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) 

for all sources (both part 70 and nonpart 70 sources). The delegation of 

authority under this action applies only 

to sources located in Bernalillo County, 

New Mexico, and does not extend to 

sources located in Indian Country. EPA 

is providing notice that it is updating 

the delegation of certain NSPS to 

ABCAQCB, and taking direct final 

action to approve the delegation of 

certain NESHAPs to ABCAQCB. 

DATES: This rule is effective on April 20, 

2015 without further notice, unless EPA 

receives relevant adverse comment by 

March 23, 2015. If EPA receives such 

comment, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the updated 

NESHAPs delegation will not take 

effect; however, the NSPS delegation 

will not be affected by such action.

XIV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. What does this action do? 

EPA is providing notice that it is 

delegating authority for implementation 

and enforcement of certain NSPS to 

ABCAQCB. EPA is also taking direct 

final action to approve the delegation of 

certain NESHAPs to ABCAQCB. With 

this delegation, ABCAQCB has the 

primary responsibility to implement 

and enforce the delegated standards. 

II. What is the authority for delegation? 

Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) authorizes EPA to delegate 

authority to any state agency which 

submits adequate regulatory procedures 

for implementation and enforcement of 

the NSPS program. In addition, a state 

may authorize a local agency to carry 

out a plan (program) within the local 

agency’s jurisdiction under certain 

conditions. See 40 CFR 60.26(e). The 

NSPS standards are codified at 40 CFR 

part 60. 

Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 CFR 

part 63, subpart E, authorizes EPA to 

delegate authority to any state or local 

agency which submits an adequate 

regulatory program for implementation 

and enforcement of emission standards 

for hazardous air pollutants. The 

hazardous air pollutant standards are 

codified at 40 CFR parts 61 and 63. 

III. What criteria must ABCAQCB’s 

programs meet to be approved? 

In order to receive delegation of NSPS 

a state must develop and submit to the 

EPA a procedure for implementing and 

enforcing the NSPS in the state, or in 

the local agency’s jurisdiction as 

discussed above, and their regulations 

and resources must be adequate for the 

implementation and enforcement of the 

NSPS. EPA initially approved the 

ABCAQCB program for the delegation of 

NSPS on December 20, 1989 (54 FR 

52031). EPA reviewed the rules and 

regulations of the ABCAQCB and 

determined the ABCAQCB’s procedures, 

regulations and resources adequate for 

the implementation and enforcement of 

the Federal standards. The NSPS 

delegation was most recently updated 

on December 9, 2005 (70 FR 73138). 

This action notifies the public that EPA 

is updating ABCAQCB’s delegation to 

implement and enforce certain 

additional NSPS. 

As to the NESHAP standards in 40 

CFR parts 61 and 63, section 112(l)(5) of 

the CAA enables EPA to approve state 

air toxics programs or rules to operate 

in place of the Federal air toxics 

program or rules. 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart E governs EPA’s approval of 

State programs or rules under section 

112(l). 

EPA will approve the State’s 

submittal of a program for 

implementation and enforcement of the 

NESHAPs if we find that: 

(1) The State program is ‘‘no less 

stringent’’ than the corresponding 

Federal program or rule; 

(2) The State has adequate authority 

and resources to implement the 

program; 

(3) The schedule for implementation 

and compliance is sufficiently 

expeditious; and 

(4) The program otherwise complies 

with Federal guidance. 

In order to obtain approval of its 

program to implement and enforce 

Federal section 112 rules as 

promulgated without changes (straight 

delegation), a State must demonstrate 

that it meets the approval criteria of 40 

CFR 63.91(d). 40 CFR 63.91(d)(3) 

provides that interim or final Title V 

program approval will satisfy the 

criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d) for part 70 

sources (sources required to obtain Title 

V operating permits pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act). 

IV. How did ABCAQCB meet the 

approval criteria? 

As to the NSPS standards in 40 CFR 

part 60, ABCAQCB adopted the Federal 

standards via incorporation by 

reference. The ABCAQCB regulations 

are, therefore, at least as stringent as 

EPA’s rules. See 40 CFR 60.10(a). Also, 

in the EPA initial approval of NSPS 

delegation, we determined that 

ABCAQCB developed procedures for 

implementing and enforcing the NSPS 

in Bernalillo County, and that 

ABCAQCB’s regulations and resources 

are adequate for the implementation and 

enforcement of the Federal standards. 

See 54 FR 52031 (December 20, 1989). 

As to the NESHAP standards in 40 

CFR parts 61 and 63, as part of its Title 

V submission ABCAQCB stated that it 

intended to use the mechanism of 

incorporation by reference to adopt 

unchanged Federal section 112 

standards into its regulations. This 

commitment applied to both existing 

and future standards as they applied to 

part 70 sources. EPA’s final interim 

approval of ABCAQCB’s Title V 

operating permits program delegated the 

authority to implement certain 

NESHAPs on March 10, 1995 (60 FR 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 33 / Thursday, February 19, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 8801 

13046). On November 26, 1996, EPA 

promulgated final full approval of the 

ABCAQCB’s operating permits program. 

(61 FR 60032). These interim and final 

title V program approvals satisfy the 

upfront approval criteria of 40 CFR 

63.91(d). Under 40 CFR 63.91(d)(2), 

once a state has satisfied the up-front 

approval criteria, it needs only to 

reference the previous demonstration 

and reaffirm that it still meets the 

criteria for any subsequent submittals 

for delegation of the section 112 

standards. ABCAQCB has affirmed that 

it still meets the up-front approval 

criteria. 

V. What is being delegated? 

By letter dated December 14, 2006, 

EPA received a request from ABCAQCB 

to update their NSPS delegation and 

NESHAPs delegation. With certain 

exceptions noted in section VI below, 

ABCAQCB’s request included NSPS in 

40 CFR part 60, and NESHAPs in 40 

CFR parts 61 and 63, as amended 

between July 2, 2004 and October 28, 

2006. 

By letter dated January 16, 2009, EPA 

received a second request from 

ABCAQCB to update their NSPS 

delegation and NESHAPs delegation. 

With certain exceptions noted in section 

VI below, ABCAQCB’s request included 

NSPS in 40 CFR part 60, and NESHAPs 

in 40 CFR parts 61 and 63, as amended 

between October 29, 2006 and August 1, 

2008. 

By letter dated November 18, 2011, 

EPA received a third request from 

ABCAQCB to update their NSPS 

delegation and NESHAPs delegation. 

With certain exceptions noted in section 

VI below, ABCAQCB’s request included 

NSPS in 40 CFR part 60, and NESHAPs 

in 40 CFR parts 61 and 63, as amended 

between August 2, 2008, and August 29, 

2011. 

By letter dated January 15, 2014, EPA 

received a fourth request from 

ABCAQCB to update ABCAQCB’s NSPS 

delegation and NESHAPs delegation. 

With certain exceptions noted in section 

VI below, ABCAQCB’s request included 

NSPS in 40 CFR part 60, and NESHAPs 

in 40 CFR parts 61 and 63, as amended 

between August 30, 2011, and 

September 13, 2013. 

VI. What is not being delegated? 

The following part 60, 61 and 63 

authorities listed below are not 

delegated. All of the inquiries and 

requests concerning implementation 

and enforcement of the excluded 

standards for the ABCAQCB should be 

directed to the EPA Region 6 Office. 

• 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAA 

(Standards of Performance for New 

Residential Wood Heaters); 

• 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart B (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Underground Uranium 

Mines); 

• 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart H (National 

Emission Standards for Emissions of 

Radionuclides Other Than Radon From 

Department of Energy Facilities); 

• 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart I (National 

Emission Standards for Radionuclide 

Emissions from Federal Facilities Other 

Than Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

Licensees and Not Covered by Subpart 

H); 

• 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart K (National 

Emission Standards for Radionuclide 

Emissions from Elemental Phosphorus 

Plants); 

• 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart Q (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Department of Energy 

facilities); 

• 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart R (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Phosphogypsum 

Stacks); 

• 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart T (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from the Disposal of Uranium 

Mill Tailings); and 

• 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart W 

(National Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Operating Mill 

Tailings). 

In addition, EPA cannot delegate to a 

State or local authority any of the 

Category II Subpart A authorities set 

forth in 40 CFR 63.91(g)(2). These 

include the following provisions: 

§ 63.6(g), Approval of Alternative NonOpacity Standards; § 63.6(h)(9), 

Approval of Alternative Opacity 

Standards; § 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), 

Approval of Major Alternatives to Test 

Methods; § 63.8(f), Approval of Major 

Alternatives to Monitoring; and 

§ 63.10(f), Approval of Major 

Alternatives to Recordkeeping and 

Reporting. Also, some Part 63 standards 

have certain provisions that cannot be 

delegated to the States. Therefore, any 

Part 63 standard that EPA is delegating 

to ABCAQCB that provides that certain 

authorities cannot be delegated are 

retained by EPA and not delegated. 

Furthermore, no authorities are 

delegated that require rulemaking in the 

Federal Register to implement, or where 

Federal overview is the only way to 

ensure national consistency in the 

application of the standards or 

requirements of CAA section 112. 

Finally, section 112(r), the accidental 

release program authority, is not being 

delegated by this approval. 

In addition, this delegation to 

ABCAQCB to implement and enforce 

certain NSPS and NESHAPs does not 

extend to sources or activities located in 

Indian country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 

1151. Under this definition, EPA treats 

as reservations, trust lands validly set 

aside for the use of a Tribe even if the 

trust lands have not been formally 

designated as a reservation. Consistent 

with previous federal program 

approvals or delegations, EPA will 

continue to implement the NSPS and 

NESHAPs in Indian country because 

ABCAQCB has not submitted 

information to demonstrate authority 

over sources and activities located 

within the exterior boundaries of Indian 

reservations and other areas in Indian 

country. 

VII. How will applicability 

determinations be made? 

In approving the NSPS delegation, 

ABCAQCB will obtain concurrence from 

EPA on any matter involving the 

interpretation of section 111 of the CAA 

or 40 CFR part 60 to the extent that 

application, implementation, 

administration, or enforcement of these 

provisions have not been covered by 

prior EPA determinations or guidance. 

See 54 FR 52031 (December 20, 1989). 

In approving the NESHAPs 

delegation, ABCAQCB will obtain 

concurrence from EPA on any matter 

involving the interpretation of section 

112 of the CAA or 40 CFR parts 61 and 

63 to the extent that application, 

implementation, administration, or 

enforcement of these provisions have 

not been covered by prior EPA 

determinations or guidance. 

VIII. What authority does EPA have? 

We retain the right, as provided by 

CAA section 111(c)(2), to enforce any 

applicable emission standard or 

requirement under section 111. 

We retain the right, as provided by 

CAA section 112(l)(7), to enforce any 

applicable emission standard or 

requirement under section 112. EPA 

also has the authority to make certain 

decisions under the General Provisions 

(subpart A) of part 63. We are granting 

ABCAQCB some of these authorities, 

and retaining others, as explained in 

sections V and VI above. In addition, 

EPA may review and disapprove 

determinations by State and local 

authorities and subsequently require 

corrections. (See 40 CFR 63.91(g) and 65 

FR 55810, 55823, September 14, 2000, 

as amended at 70 FR 59887, October 13, 

2005; 72 FR 27443, May 16, 2007.) 

Furthermore, we retain any authority 

in an individual emission standard that 

may not be delegated according to 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
8802 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 33 / Thursday, February 19, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

provisions of the standard. Also, listed 

in the footnotes of the part 63 delegation 

table at the end of this rule are the 

authorities that cannot be delegated to 

any State or local agency which we 

therefore retain. 

Finally, we retain the authorities 

stated in the initial notice of delegation 

of authority. See 54 FR 52031 

(December 20, 1989). 

IX. What information must ABCAQCB 

provide to EPA? 

Under 40 CFR 60.4(b), all 

notifications under NSPS must be sent 

to both EPA and to ABCAQCB. Please 

send notifications and reports to Chief, 

Air/Toxics Inspection and Coordination 

Branch at the EPA Region 6 office. 

ABCAQCB must provide any 

additional compliance related 

information to EPA, Region 6, Office of 

Enforcement and Compliance 

Assurance, within 45 days of a request 

under 40 CFR 63.96(a). In receiving 

delegation for specific General 

Provisions authorities, ABCAQCB must 

submit to EPA Region 6, on a semiannual basis, copies of determinations 

issued under these authorities. For 40 

CFR parts 61 and 63 standards, these 

determinations include: Section 63.1, 

Applicability Determinations; Section 

63.6(e), Operation and Maintenance 

Requirements—Responsibility for 

Determining Compliance; Section 

63.6(f), Compliance with Non-Opacity 

Standards—Responsibility for 

Determining Compliance; Section 

63.6(h), Compliance with Opacity and 

Visible Emissions Standards— 

Responsibility for Determining 

Compliance; Sections 63.7(c)(2)(i) and 

(d), Approval of Site-Specific Test 

Plans; Section 63.7(e)(2)(i), Approval of 

Minor Alternatives to Test Methods; 

Section 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval 

of Intermediate Alternatives to Test 

Methods; Section 63.7(e)(iii), Approval 

of Shorter Sampling Times and Volumes 

When Necessitated by Process Variables 

or Other Factors; Sections 63.7(e)(2)(iv), 

(h)(2), and (h)(3), Waiver of Performance 

Testing; Sections 63.8(c)(1) and (e)(1), 

Approval of Site-Specific Performance 

Evaluation (Monitoring) Test Plans; 

Section 63.8(f), Approval of Minor 

Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 

63.8(f), Approval of Intermediate 

Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 63.9 

and 63.10, Approval of Adjustments to 

Time Periods for Submitting Reports; 

Section 63.10(f), Approval of Minor 

Alternatives to Recordkeeping and 

Reporting; Section 63.7(a)(4), Extension 

of Performance Test Deadline. 

X. What is EPA’s oversight role? 

EPA must oversee ABCAQCB’s 

decisions to ensure the delegated 

authorities are being adequately 

implemented and enforced. We will 

integrate oversight of the delegated 

authorities into the existing mechanisms 

and resources for oversight currently in 

place. If, during oversight, we determine 

that ABCAQCB made decisions that 

decreased the stringency of the 

delegated standards, then ABCAQCB 

shall be required to take corrective 

actions and the source(s) affected by the 

decisions will be notified, as required 

by 40 CFR 63.91(g)(1)(ii). We will 

initiate withdrawal of the program or 

rule if the corrective actions taken are 

insufficient. 

XI. Should sources submit notices to 

EPA or ABCAQCB? 

All of the information required 

pursuant to the Federal NSPS and 

NESHAPs (40 CFR parts 60, 61 and 63) 

should be submitted by sources located 

inside the boundaries of Bernalillo 

County and areas outside of Indian 

country, directly to the ABCAQCB at the 

following address: City of Albuquerque, 

Albuquerque Environmental Health 

Department, P.O. Box 1293, 

Albuquerque, NM 87103. The 

ABCAQCB is the primary point of 

contact with respect to delegated NSPS 

and NESHAPs. Sources do not need to 

send a copy to EPA. EPA Region 6 

waives the requirement that 

notifications and reports for delegated 

standards be submitted to EPA in 

addition to ABCAQCB, in accordance 

with 40 CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii) and 

63.10(a)(4)(ii). Also, see 51 FR 20648 

(June 6, 1986). For those standards that 

are not delegated, sources must 

continue to submit all appropriate 

information to EPA. 

XII. How will unchanged authorities be 

delegated to ABCAQCB in the future? 

In the future, ABCAQCB will only 

need to send a letter of request to update 

their delegation to EPA, Region 6, for 

those NSPS which they have adopted by 

reference. EPA will amend the relevant 

portions of the Code of Federal 

Regulations showing which NSPS 

standards have been delegated to 

ABCAQCB. Also, in the future, 

ABCAQCB will only need to send a 

letter of request for approval to EPA, 

Region 6, for those NESHAPs 

regulations that ABCAQCB has adopted 

by reference. The letter must reference 

the previous up-front approval 

demonstration and reaffirm that it still 

meets the up-front approval criteria. We 

will respond in writing to the request 

stating that the request for delegation is 

either granted or denied. A Federal 

Register action will be published to 

inform the public and affected sources 

of the delegation, indicate where source 

notifications and reports should be sent, 

and to amend the relevant portions of 

the Code of Federal Regulations 

showing which NESHAP standards have 

been delegated to ABCAQCB. 

XIII. Final Action 

The public was provided the 

opportunity to comment on the 

proposed interim approval (60 FR 2570) 

and direct final interim approval (60 FR 

2527) of ABCAQCB’s Title V operating 

permit program, and mechanism for 

delegation of section 112 standards as 

they apply to part 70 sources, on 

January 10, 1995. On March 10, 1995, 

EPA published an informational notice 

in the Federal Register informing the 

public that the direct final interim 

approval would remain final. (60 FR 

13046). In today’s action, the public is 

given the opportunity to comment on 

the approval of ABCAQCB’s request for 

delegation of authority to implement 

and enforce certain section 112 

standards for all sources (both part 70 

and non-part 70 sources) which have 

been adopted by reference into 

ABCAQCB’s regulations. However, the 

Agency views the approval of these 

requests as a noncontroversial action 

and anticipates no adverse comments. 

Therefore, EPA is publishing this rule 

without prior proposal. However, in the 

‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of today’s 

Federal Register publication, EPA is 

publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposal to approve the 

program and NESHAPs delegation of 

authority described in this action if 

adverse comments are received. This 

action will be effective April 20, 2015 

without further notice unless the 

Agency receives relevant adverse 

comments by March 23, 2015. 

If EPA receives relevant adverse 

comments, we will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public the rule will not 

take effect with respect to the updated 

NESHAPs delegation. We will address 

all public comments in a subsequent 

final rule based on the proposed rule. 

The EPA will not institute a second 

comment period on this action. Any 

parties interested in commenting must 

do so at this time. Please note that if we 

receive relevant adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of a 

relevant adverse comment.

XIV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and 

therefore is not subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget. For 

this reason, this action is also not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). This action merely approves 

state law as meeting Federal 

requirements and imposes no additional 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

state law. Accordingly, the 

Administrator certifies that this rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this 

rule approves pre-existing requirements 

under state law and does not impose 

any additional enforceable duty beyond 

that required by state law, it does not 

contain any unfunded mandate or 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments, as described in the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

(Pub. L. 104–4). 

In addition, this rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the 

delegation is not approved to apply in 

Indian country located in the State, and 

the EPA notes that it will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law. This 

action also does not have Federalism 

implications because it does not have 

substantial direct effects on the states, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the states, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This action merely 

approves a state request to receive 

delegation of certain Federal standards, 

and does not alter the relationship or 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities established in the Clean 

Air Act. This rule also is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 ‘‘Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it is not 

economically significant. 

In reviewing delegation submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve submissions, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the 

absence of a prior existing requirement 

for the state to use voluntary consensus 

standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 

to disapprove a delegation submission 

for failure to use VCS. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA to use VCS in place of a delegation 

submission that otherwise satisfies the 

provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, 

the requirements of section 12(d) of the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 

272 note) do not apply. This rule does 

not impose an information collection 

burden under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this rule and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by April 20, 2015. 

Filing a petition for reconsideration by 

the Administrator of this final rule does 

not affect the finality of this rule for the 

purposes of judicial review nor does it 

extend the time within which a petition 

for judicial review may be filed, and 

shall not postpone the effectiveness of 

such rule or action. This action may not 

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2)).

International Fisheries; Western and 

Central Pacific Fisheries for Highly 

Migratory Species; Fishing 

Restrictions Regarding the Oceanic 

Whitetip Shark, the Whale Shark, and 

the Silky Shark 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: NMFS issues regulations 

under authority of the Western and 

Central Pacific Fisheries Convention 

Implementation Act (WCPFC 

Implementation Act) to implement 

decisions of the Commission for the 

Conservation and Management of 

Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the 

Western and Central Pacific Ocean 

(Commission or WCPFC) on fishing 

restrictions related to the oceanic 

whitetip shark (Carcharhinus 

longimanus), the whale shark 

(Rhincodon typus), and the silky shark 

(Carcharhinus falciformis). The 

regulations apply to owners and 

operators of U.S. fishing vessels used for 

commercial fishing for highly migratory 

species (HMS) in the area of application 

of the Convention on the Conservation 

and Management of Highly Migratory 

Fish Stocks in the Western and Central 

Pacific Ocean (Convention). The 

regulations for oceanic whitetip sharks 

and silky sharks prohibit the retention, 

transshipment, storage, or landing of 

oceanic whitetip sharks or silky sharks, 

and require the release of any oceanic 

whitetip shark or silky shark as soon as 

possible after it is caught, with as little 

harm to the shark as possible. The 

regulations for whale sharks prohibit 

setting a purse seine on a whale shark 

and specify certain measures to be taken 

and reporting requirements in the event 

a whale shark is encircled in a purse 

seine net. This action is necessary for 

the United States to satisfy its 

obligations under the Convention, to 

which it is a Contracting Party. 

DATES: This rule is effective March 23, 

2015.

This final rule is issued under the 

authority of the WCPFC Implementation 

Act (16 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.), which 

authorizes the Secretary of Commerce, 

in consultation with the Secretary of 

State and the Secretary of the 

Department in which the United States 

Coast Guard is operating (currently the 

Department of Homeland Security), to 

promulgate such regulations as may be 

necessary to carry out the obligations of
