Final Listing of High-Theft Lines for

1998 Model Year; Motor Vehicle Theft

Prevention Standard

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA),

Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This document corrects errors

in the final listing of high-theft lines for

the 1998 Model Year (MY), that was

published on July 31, 1997 (62 FR

40949) by incorporating information

that manufacturers brought to the

agency’s attention subsequent to the

final listing. In the amended list in this

document, one Honda line, the Civic, is

removed from Appendix A; errors in the

name of two Nissan lines, the Sentra

/200SX and the Infiniti I30 are

corrected; and an error in the vehicle

class of one Subaru line, the Forester, is

corrected.
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 193 / Monday, October 6, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 52045

EFFECTIVE DATE: The amendment made

by this final rule is effective October 6,

1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.

Rosalind Proctor, Motor Vehicle Theft

Group, Office of Planning and

Consumer Programs, NHTSA, 400

Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.

(202) 493–2739.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA is

correcting errors in the final list of hightheft vehicle lines for Model Year (MY)

1998, that appeared in the Federal

Register on July 31, 1997 (62 FR 40949).

This correction document incorporates

updated information brought to

NHTSA’s attention subsequent to the

publication of the final list for MY 1998.

The following are corrections to

Appendix A of 49 CFR Part 541, the

Theft Prevention Standard:

Comments were received from

American Honda Motor Co., Inc.,

requesting that the ‘‘Honda Civic’’ line,

which was erroneously listed in

Appendix A, be deleted from the listing

because it was also listed in Appendix

B. The Honda Civic, a line subject to the

requirements of this standard but whose

theft rate fell below the 1990/91 median,

will be deleted from Appendix A but

will remain listed in Appendix B. (See

59 FR 64164.)

Comments were also received from

Nissan requesting that two vehicle lines

be deleted from the Appendix A listing

because they are no longer being

produced. Those lines are the ‘‘300ZX’’

and the ‘‘Infiniti M30’’. The agency

understands Nissan’s reasons for

requesting deletion of the ‘‘300ZX’’ and

the ‘‘Infiniti M30’’ from the list of

vehicles subject to the parts-marking

requirements of the Theft Prevention

Standard. However, NHTSA cannot

delete the ‘‘300ZX’’ from the list

because it has been covered by the Theft

Prevention Standard since MY 1988,

and the ‘‘Infiniti M30’’ has been covered

since the MY 1990. Pursuant to 49

U.S.C. § 33104(d), a vehicle line on the

list of lines subject to parts marking

cannot be removed from that list unless

the manufacturer has obtained an

exemption from the parts-marking

requirement based on the installation of

a qualified antitheft device as standard

equipment on the entire line.

Nissan also informed the agency that

two of its lines were incorrectly

identified. The Nissan line, erroneously

listed in Appendix A as ‘‘Sentra 1’’, has

been identified respectively ‘‘Sentra/

200SX 1’’ and ‘‘Infiniti I’’ erroneously

listed in Appendix A–I has been

identified respectively ‘‘Infiniti I30’’.

Comments were also received from

Subaru of America, Inc. informing the

agency that the vehicle class for one of

its lines was incorrectly identified. The

Subaru line, erroneously listed as

‘‘Forester (MPV) 2’’, has been identified

respectively ‘‘Forester 2’’, as a passenger

car.

Since the corrections made by this

document only inform the public of

previous agency actions, and do not

impose any additional obligations on

any party, NHTSA finds for good cause

that the revisions made by this notice

should be effective as soon as it is

published in the Federal Register.

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of

Mexico, and South Atlantic; Reef Fish

Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico; Closure

of the Commercial Red Snapper

Component

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Closure.

SUMMARY: NMFS closes the commercial

fishery for red snapper in the exclusive

economic zone (EEZ) of the Gulf of

Mexico. NMFS has projected that the

annual commercial quota for red

snapper will be reached on October 6,

1997. This closure is necessary to

protect the red snapper resource.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Closure is effective

noon, local time, October 6, 1997,

through December 31, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert Sadler, 813–570–5305.

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 by

regulations at 50 CFR part 622. Those

regulations set the commercial quota for

red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico at

4.65 million lb (m lb) (2.11 million kg

(m kg)) for the current fishing year,

January 1 through December 31, 1997.

The 1997 commercial quota was split

between two seasons, the first beginning

on February 1 with a quota of 3.06 m

lb (1.39 m kg) and the second beginning

with an initial period of September 2 to

September 15 and thereafter from the

first to the 15th of each month until the

annual commercial quota is reached.

Openings and closings in the fall 1997

season are at noon on the date

indicated.

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 publishing notification to that effect

in the Federal Register. Based on

current statistics, NMFS has projected
