Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 173 / Thursday, September 6, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 45199 

level decision to establish this interim 

final supplementary rule through 

publication in the Federal Register. 

The Salt Lake Field Manager sent 

project information and invited the 

initiation of formal consultation with 

the following Native American Tribes 

via certified letter dated June 29, 2015: 

Jemez Pueblo, Skull Valley Band of 

Goshute Indians of Utah, Confederated 

Tribes of the Goshute Reservation, 

Paiute Indian Tribe, Ute Indian Tribe, 

and Eastern Shoshone. The BLM 

contacted these same tribes via phone 

between July 1 and 7, 2015, to schedule 

telephone conferences with the Salt 

Lake Field Manager, if desired. The 

Paiute Indian Tribe requested a meeting 

and a presentation was made to the 

Paiute Tribal Council on July 16, 2015, 

at which the tribe expressed their 

support for the Eastern Lake Mountains 

Target Shooting RMPA. Additionally, 

these tribes received formal invitations 

to participate in the planning process as 

a consulting party and/or cooperating 

agency; none of the tribes accepted 

either role. These same tribes were 

included on the project mailing list and 

received notification of the scoping 

period and associated open houses, the 

public comment period and associated 

open house, and the protest period. 

Only the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah 

submitted a comment letter during the 

public comment period expressing 

concern over preserving and protecting 

Native American petroglyphs. To 

discuss this in detail with the tribe, the 

BLM attended a Paiute Tribal Council 

meeting on November 1, 2016, in which 

the tribal leaders expressed their 

support for the Proposed RMPA. 

The Salt Lake Field Manager and staff 

also attended the November 15, 2016 

Utah Tribal Leaders Conference in 

Wendover, Nevada, at which time tribal 

leaders of the Confederated Tribes of the 

Goshute Reservation, Paiute, Ute, and 

Eastern Shoshone were informed of the 

Proposed RMPA and invited to make 

comments. Tribal leaders asked 

questions and made verbal comments in 

support of the Proposed RMPA. A final 

letter was mailed to these same tribes on 

December 14, 2016, inviting them to 

consult on the Proposed RMPA and 

associated environmental assessment. 

The BLM also contacted these tribes via 

telephone. No further comments were 

received. 

Executive Order 13352, Facilitation of 

Cooperative Conservation 

Under Executive Order 13352, the 

BLM has determined that this rule 

would not impede the facilitation of 

cooperative conservation. This rule 

would take appropriate account of and 

consider the interests of persons with 

ownership or other legally recognized 

interests in land or other natural 

resources; properly accommodate local 

participation in the Federal decisionmaking process; and provide that the 

programs, projects, and activities are 

consistent with protecting public health 

and safety. 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This rule does not constitute a 

‘‘significant energy action,’’ as defined 

in Executive Order 13211. The rule 

would not have an adverse effect on 

energy supplies, production, or 

consumption and has no connection 

with energy policy. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule does not contain 

information collection requirements that 

the Office of Management and Budget 

must approve under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq. 

IV. Interim Final Supplementary Rule

Lake Mountains in Utah County, Utah, 

subject to the Pony Express Resource 

Management Plan, to read as follows: 

Prohibited Act

Suspension of Community Eligibility 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule identifies 

communities where the sale of flood 

insurance has been authorized under 

the National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) that are scheduled for 

suspension on the effective dates listed 

within this rule because of 

noncompliance with the floodplain 

management requirements of the 

program. If the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) receives 

documentation that the community has 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
45200 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 173 / Thursday, September 6, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

adopted the required floodplain 

management measures prior to the 

effective suspension date given in this 

rule, the suspension will not occur and 

a notice of this will be provided by 

publication in the Federal Register on a 

subsequent date. Also, information 

identifying the current participation 

status of a community can be obtained 

from FEMA’s Community Status Book 

(CSB). The CSB is available at https:// 

www.fema.gov/national-floodinsurance-program-community-statusbook. 

DATES: The effective date of each 

community’s scheduled suspension is 

the third date (‘‘Susp.’’) listed in the 

third column of the following tables. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you want to determine whether a 

particular community was suspended 

on the suspension date or for further 

information, contact Adrienne L. 

Sheldon, PE, CFM, Federal Insurance 

and Mitigation Administration, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 400 C 

Street SW, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 

212–3966. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP 

enables property owners to purchase 

Federal flood insurance that is not 

otherwise generally available from 

private insurers. In return, communities 

agree to adopt and administer local 

floodplain management measures aimed 

at protecting lives and new construction 

from future flooding. Section 1315 of 

the National Flood Insurance Act of 

1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, 

prohibits the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance unless an appropriate public 

body adopts adequate floodplain 

management measures with effective 

enforcement measures. The 

communities listed in this document no 

longer meet that statutory requirement 

for compliance with program 

regulations, 44 CFR part 59. 

Accordingly, the communities will be 

suspended on the effective date in the 

third column. As of that date, flood 

insurance will no longer be available in 

the community. We recognize that some 

of these communities may adopt and 

submit the required documentation of 

legally enforceable floodplain 

management measures after this rule is 

published but prior to the actual 

suspension date. These communities 

will not be suspended and will continue 

to be eligible for the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance. A notice withdrawing the 

suspension of such communities will be 

published in the Federal Register. 

In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood 

Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that 

identifies the Special Flood Hazard 

Areas (SFHAs) in these communities. 

The date of the FIRM, if one has been 

published, is indicated in the fourth 

column of the table. No direct Federal 

financial assistance (except assistance 

pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act not in connection with a 

flood) may be provided for construction 

or acquisition of buildings in identified 

SFHAs for communities not 

participating in the NFIP and identified 

for more than a year on FEMA’s initial 

FIRM for the community as having 

flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the 

Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 

42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This 

prohibition against certain types of 

Federal assistance becomes effective for 

the communities listed on the date 

shown in the last column. The 

Administrator finds that notice and 

public comment procedures under 5 

U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and 

unnecessary because communities listed 

in this final rule have been adequately 

notified. 

Each community receives 6-month, 

90-day, and 30-day notification letters 

addressed to the Chief Executive Officer 

stating that the community will be 

suspended unless the required 

floodplain management measures are 

met prior to the effective suspension 

date. Since these notifications were 

made, this final rule may take effect 

within less than 30 days. 

National Environmental Policy Act. 

FEMA has determined that the 

community suspension(s) included in 

this rule is a non-discretionary action 

and therefore the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) does not apply. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The 

Administrator has determined that this 

rule is exempt from the requirements of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act because 

the National Flood Insurance Act of 

1968, as amended, Section 1315, 42 

U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance 

coverage unless an appropriate public 

body adopts adequate floodplain 

management measures with effective 

enforcement measures. The 

communities listed no longer comply 

with the statutory requirements, and 

after the effective date, flood insurance 

will no longer be available in the 

communities unless remedial action 

takes place. 

Regulatory Classification. This final 

rule is not a significant regulatory action 

under the criteria of section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 

1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 

58 FR 51735. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism. 

This rule involves no policies that have 

federalism implications under Executive 

Order 13132. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform. This rule meets the applicable 

standards of Executive Order 12988. 

Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule 

does not involve any collection of 

information for purposes of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Pollock in Statistical 

Area 620 in the Gulf of Alaska 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed 

fishing for pollock in Statistical Area 

620 in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This 

action is necessary to prevent exceeding 

the C season allowance of the 2018 total 

allowable catch of pollock for Statistical 

Area 620 in the GOA. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hours, Alaska 

local time (A.l.t.), September 1, 2018, 

through 1200 hours, A.l.t., October 1, 

2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh 

Keaton, 907–586–7228. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

manages the groundfish fishery in the 

GOA exclusive economic zone 

according to the Fishery Management 

Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of 

Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North 

Pacific Fishery Management Council 

under authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act. Regulations governing 

fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance 

with the FMP appear at subpart H of 50 

CFR part 600 and 50 CFR part 679. 

The C season allowance of the 2018 

total allowable catch (TAC) of pollock in 

Statistical Area 620 of the GOA is 

10,441 metric tons (mt) as established 

by the final 2018 and 2019 harvest 

specifications for groundfish in the GOA 

(83 FR 8768, March 1, 2018) and 

inseason adjustment (83 FR 42609, 

August 23, 2018). 

In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i), 

the Regional Administrator has 

determined that the C season allowance 

of the 2018 TAC of pollock in Statistical 

Area 620 of the GOA will soon be 

reached. Therefore, the Regional 

Administrator is establishing a directed 

fishing allowance of 10,241 mt and is 

setting aside the remaining 200 mt as 

bycatch to support other anticipated 

groundfish fisheries. In accordance with 

§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional 

Administrator finds that this directed 

fishing allowance has been reached. 

Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting 

directed fishing for pollock in Statistical 

Area 620 of the GOA. While this closure 

is effective the maximum retainable 

amounts at § 679.20(e) and (f) apply at 

any time during a trip. 

Classification 

This action responds to the best 

available information recently obtained 

from the fishery. The Assistant 

Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA 

(AA), finds good cause to waive the 

requirement to provide prior notice and 

opportunity for public comment 

pursuant to the authority set forth at 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as such requirement is 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest. This requirement is 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest as it would prevent NMFS from 

responding to the most recent fisheries 

data in a timely fashion and would 

delay the closure of directed fishing for 

pollock in Statistical Area 620 of the 

GOA. NMFS was unable to publish a 

notice providing time for public 

comment because the most recent, 

relevant data only became available as 

of August 30, 2018. 

The AA also finds good cause to 

waive the 30-day delay in the effective 

date of this action under 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3). This finding is based upon 

the reasons provided above for waiver of 

prior notice and opportunity for public 

comment. 

This action is required by § 679.20 

and is exempt from review under 

Executive Order 12866. 

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

Dated: August 31, 2018.
