Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 108 / Friday, June 5, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 32039 

certain products in the Committee’s 

program, which are identified by special 

military resale number series. 41 CFR 

51–6.4 references number series 0– (0– 

99), 200–, 300–, 400–, 500–, 600–, 

700–, 800–, 900–, 

1000–, 1100–, 1200– (1200–9999), and 

10000– (10000–10999), with the 300– 

800–, 900–, 1000–, 1100–, and 10000– 

(10000–10999) series being stocked 

exclusively and all series being stocked 

in as broad a range as practicable. 

Additional number series are required 

because the numbers cannot be re-used 

after being assigned to a product. The 

expansion of the number series will not 

expand the scope of the military resale 

products, rather it will allow for the 

effective administration and 

maintenance of the military resale 

program at its current level. This final 

rule adds series 11000 (11000–11999); 

12000 (12000–12999); 13000 (13000– 

13999); 14000 (14000–14999); 15000 

(15000–15999); and 16000 (16000– 

16999) to 41 CFR 51–6.4(b), (c)(2), (c)(4), 

and (d) to be stocked in as broad a range 

as practicable. 

Executive Order 12866: This agency 

has made the determination that this 

rule is not significant for the purposes 

of EO 12866. 

Administrative Procedure Act: The 

Committee finds under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(B) that good cause exists to 

waive prior notice and opportunity for 

public comment. This final rule simply 

adds numbers to a series of number that 

already exist. These series are internal 

to this agency and have no impact on 

nonprofit agencies not working in the 

military resale area. National Industries 

for the Blind, a central nonprofit agency 

in the Committee’s program, requested 

these specific number series on behalf of 

the nonprofit agencies that participate 

in the military resale arena. The Defense 

Commissary Agency also asked the 

Committee to take this action. Since 

both the Federal and nonprofit agencies 

requested these number series, it is 

highly unlikely that there would be any 

adverse comments on this rule. Because 

this amendment is not a substantive 

change to the regulation, it is 

unnecessary to provide notice and 

opportunity for public comment. 

Further, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(A), this rule of agency 

organization, procedure and practice is 

not subject to the requirement to 

provide prior notice and opportunity for 

public comment. The Committee also 

finds that the 30-day delay in 

effectiveness, required under 5 U.S.C. 

553(d), is inapplicable because this rule 

is not a substantive rule. This final rule 

merely expands the series of item 

numbers for use in the military resale 

program. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act: Because 

notice and opportunity for comment are 

not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or 

any other law, the analytical 

requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are 

inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory 

flexibility analysis is not required and 

has not been prepared.

RIN 0648–XD980 

Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; 

Commercial Blacknose Sharks and 

Non-Blacknose Small Coastal Sharks 

in the Atlantic Region 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is closing the fisheries 

for commercial blacknose sharks and 

non-blacknose small coastal sharks 

(SCS) in the Atlantic region. This action 

is necessary because the commercial 

landings of Atlantic blacknose sharks 

for the 2015 fishing season have 

exceeded 80 percent of the available 

commercial quota as of May 29, 2015, 

and the blacknose shark and nonblacknose SCS fisheries are quota-linked 

under current regulations. 

DATES: The commercial fisheries for 

blacknose sharks and non-blacknose 

SCS in the Atlantic region are closed 

effective 11:30 p.m. local time June 7, 

2015 until the end of the 2015 fishing 

season on December 31, 2015, or until 

and if NMFS announces via a notice in 

the Federal Register that additional 

quota is available and the season is 

reopened. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Alexis Jackson or Karyl Brewster-Geisz 

301–427–8503; fax 301–713–1917. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Atlantic shark fisheries are managed 

under the 2006 Consolidated HMS 

Fishery Management Plan (FMP), its 

amendments, and its implementing 

regulations (50 CFR part 635) issued 

under authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et 

seq.). 

Under § 635.5(b)(1), dealers must 

electronically submit reports on sharks 

that are first received from a vessel on 

a weekly basis through a NMFSapproved electronic reporting system. 

Reports must be received by no later 

than midnight, local time, of the first 

Tuesday following the end of the 

reporting week unless the dealer is 

otherwise notified by NMFS. Under 

§ 635.28(b)(2), the quotas of certain 

species and/or management groups are 

linked. The quotas for blacknose sharks 

and the non-blacknose SCS management 

group in the Atlantic region are linked 

(§ 635.28(b)(3)(iii)). Under 

§ 635.28(b)(2), when NMFS calculates 

that the landings for any species and/or 

management group of a linked group 

has reached or is projected to reach 80 

percent of the available quota, NMFS 

will file for publication with the Office 

of the Federal Register a notice of 

closure for all of the species and/or 

management groups in a linked group 

that will be effective no fewer than 5 

days from date of filing. From the 

effective date and time of the closure 

until and if NMFS announces, via a 

notice in the Federal Register, that 

additional quota is available and the 

season is reopened, the fisheries for all 

linked species and/or management 

groups are closed, even across fishing 

years. 

On December 2, 2014 (79 FR 71331), 

NMFS announced that the 2015 

commercial Atlantic blacknose shark 

quota is 17.5 metric tons (mt) dressed 

weight (dw) (38,638 lb dw) and the nonblacknose SCS quota is 176.1 mt dw 

(388,222 lb dw). 

Dealer reports recently received 

through May 29, 2015, indicated that 

16.3 mt dw or 93 percent of the 

available Atlantic blacknose shark quota 

had been landed and 86.1 mt dw or 49 

percent of the available Atlantic nonblacknose SCS quota had been landed. 

Based on these dealer reports, landings 

of Atlantic blacknose sharks have 

already exceeded 80 percent of the 

quota. Accordingly, NMFS is closing 

both the commercial blacknose shark 

fishery and non-blacknose SCS 

management group in the Atlantic 

region as of 11:30 p.m. local time June 

7, 2015. The only shark species or 

management groups that remain open in 

the Atlantic region are research large 

coastal sharks, sandbar sharks within 

the shark research fishery, blue shark, 

and pelagic sharks other than porbeagle 

or blue shark management groups. On 

July 1, 2015, in the Atlantic region, the 

aggregated large coastal shark and 

hammerhead shark management groups 

will open. 

At § 635.27(b)(1), the boundary 

between the Gulf of Mexico region and 

the Atlantic region is defined as a line 

beginning on the East Coast of Florida 

at the mainland at 25°20.4′ N. lat, 

proceeding due east. Any water and 

land to the south and west of that 

boundary is considered, for the 

purposes of monitoring and setting 

quotas, to be within the Gulf of Mexico 

region. 

During the closure, retention of 

blacknose sharks and non-blacknose 

SCS in the Atlantic region is prohibited 

for persons fishing aboard vessels issued 

a commercial shark limited access 

permit (LAP) under § 635.4. However, 

persons aboard a commercially 

permitted vessel that is also properly 

permitted to operate as a charter vessel 

or headboat for highly migratory species 

(HMS) and is engaged in a for-hire trip 

could fish under the recreational 

retention limits for sharks and ‘‘no sale’’ 

provisions (§ 635.22(a) and (c)). 

During this closure, a shark dealer 

issued a permit pursuant to § 635.4 may 

not purchase or receive blacknose 

sharks or non-blacknose SCS in the 

Atlantic region from a vessel issued a 

shark LAP, except that a permitted 

shark dealer or processor may possess 

blacknose sharks and/or non-blacknose 

SCS in the Atlantic region that were 

harvested, off-loaded, and sold, traded, 

or bartered prior to the effective date of 

the closure and were held in storage 

consistent with § 635.28(b)(5). Similarly, 

a shark dealer issued a permit pursuant 

to § 635.4, in accordance with relevant 

state regulations, may purchase or 

receive blacknose sharks and/or nonblacknose SCS in the Atlantic region if 

the sharks were harvested, off-loaded, 

and sold, traded, or bartered from a 

vessel that fishes only in state waters 

and that has not been issued a shark 

LAP, HMS Angling permit, or HMS 

Charter/Headboat permit pursuant to 

§ 635.4. 

Classification 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the 

Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, 

NOAA (AA), finds that providing prior 

notice and public comment for this 

action is impracticable and contrary to 

the public interest because the fisheries 

are currently underway and any delay 

in this action would result in
