SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document corrects: (1) Footnote text that 

was omitted from the Gainful 

Employment rule; (2) § 668.412 of the 

regulations to include the 

implementation date for the disclosure 

requirements; (3) the equations for 

calculating completion rates for fulltime students in § 668.413(b)(1)(i) of the 

regulations; (4) § 668.413 to add mean 

earnings in addition to median earnings; 

and (5) the notification provisions in 

§ 668.413(c)(2) of the regulations. 

In the Gainful Employment rule: 

• The text of certain footnotes was 

omitted; 

• We discussed that institutions must 

begin complying with the requirements 

in § 668.412 of the regulations beginning 

January 1, 2017. However, that language 

was inadvertently omitted from the 

regulatory text; 

• Dividing lines were omitted from 

the chart on page 64954 that would 

enhance the data presentation; 

• We revised § 668.412(a)(11) of the 

proposed regulations to add mean 

earnings, in addition to median 

earnings, as a possible disclosure item 

to be included on the disclosure 

template, but we did not revise 

§ 668.413 of the regulations to reflect 

this addition; and 

• Section 668.413(c)(2) referred 

incorrectly to the cohort period with 

respect to the calculation of median 

loan debt.

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of

Commercial Accountability Measure 

and Closure for Atlantic Migratory 

Group Cobia 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS implements 

accountability measures (AMs) for 

commercial Atlantic migratory group 

cobia in the exclusive economic zone 

(EEZ) of the South Atlantic. Commercial 

landings for Atlantic migratory group 

cobia, as estimated by the Science 

Research Director (SRD), are projected 

to reach the commercial annual catch 

limit (ACL) on December 11, 2014. 

Therefore, NMFS closes the commercial 

sector for Atlantic migratory group cobia 

on December 11, 2014, and it will 

remain closed throughout the remainder 

of the fishing year, through December 

31, 2014. This closure is necessary to 

protect the resource of Atlantic 

migratory group cobia. 

DATES: This rule is effective 12:01 a.m., 

local time, December 11, 2014, until 

12:01 a.m., local time, January 1, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

fishery for coastal migratory pelagic fish 

(king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and 

cobia) is managed under the Fishery 

Management Plan for Coastal Migratory 

Pelagic Resources in the Gulf of Mexico 

and Atlantic Region (FMP). The FMP 

was prepared by the Gulf of Mexico and 

South Atlantic Fishery Management 

Councils (Councils) and is implemented 

under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens 

Act) by regulations at 50 CFR part 622. 

Separate migratory groups of cobia 

were established in Amendment 18 to 

the FMP. The southern boundary for 

Atlantic migratory group cobia occurs at 

the division between Gulf of Mexico 

and Atlantic migratory groups, which is 

set at the intercouncil jurisdictional 

boundary, off the Florida Keys. As 

specified in 50 CFR 600.105(c), the 

South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico 

intercouncil boundary coincides with 

the line of demarcation between the 

Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, 

which begins at the intersection of the 

outer boundary of the EEZ, as specified 

in the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and 

83°00′ W. longitude, proceeds 

northward along that meridian to 24°35′ 

N. latitude, (near the Dry Tortugas 

Islands), then eastward along that 

parallel, through Rebecca Shoal and the 

Quicksand Shoal, to the Marquesas 

Keys, and then through the Florida Keys 

to the mainland at the eastern end of 

Florida Bay, the line so running that the 

narrow waters within the Dry Tortugas 

Islands, the Marquesas Keys and the 

Florida Keys, and between the Florida 

Keys and the mainland, are within the 

Gulf of Mexico. The northern boundary 

for Atlantic migratory group cobia is at 

the jurisdictional boundary between the 

Mid-Atlantic and New England 

Councils. As specified in 50 CFR 

600.105(a), the northern boundary 

begins at the intersection point of 

Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New 

York at 41°18′16.249′′ N. latitude and 

71°54′28.477′′ W. longitude and 

proceeds south along 37°22′32.75′′ E. 

longitude to the point of intersection 

with the outward boundary of the EEZ 

as specified in the Magnuson-Stevens 

Act. 

The commercial ACL or commercial 

quota (quota) for Atlantic migratory 

group cobia is 125,712 lb (57,022 kg), 

round weight, for the current fishing 

year, January 1 through December 31, 

2014, as specified in 50 CFR 

622.384(d)(2). 

The AMs specified at 50 CFR 

622.388(f)(1)(i) require NMFS to close 

the commercial sector for Atlantic 

migratory group cobia when its quota is 

reached or is projected to be reached, by 

filing a notification with the Office of 

the Federal Register to close the 

commercial sector for the remainder of 

the fishing year. NMFS has determined 

that the quota for Atlantic migratory 

group cobia will have been reached by 

December 11, 2014. Accordingly, the 

commercial sector for Atlantic migratory 

group cobia is closed effective 12:01 

a.m., local time, December 11, 2014, 

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

2015. 

The possession limit for cobia located 

at 50 CFR 622.383(b), specifies that no 

person may possess more than two 

cobia per day in or from the EEZ in the 

Gulf of Mexico, Mid-Atlantic, or South 

Atlantic, regardless of the number of 

trips or duration of a trip. In addition, 

a person who fishes in the EEZ may not 

combine this harvest limitation with a 

harvest limitation applicable to state 

waters. Atlantic migratory group cobia 

taken in the EEZ may not be transferred 

at sea, regardless of where such transfer 

takes place, and may not be transferred 

in the EEZ.
