GENERAL SERVICES

ADMINISTRATION

41 CFR Part 101–45

[FPMR Amendment H–207]

RIN 3090–AH29

Sale, Abandonment, or Destruction of

Personal Property

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide

Policy, GSA.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The General Services

Administration revised the regulations

governing the abandonment and

destruction of Federal personal property

in the custody of executive agencies.

The revised regulations are found in the

Federal Management Regulation (FMR).

This final rule removes from the Federal

Property Management Regulations

(FPMR) the old regulations governing

use of the abandonment/destruction

authority. This action is necessary to

avoid duplicative coverage in the FPMR

and the FMR. A cross reference is added

to the FPMR to direct readers to the

location of the new regulations in the

FMR.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 24, 2000.

Martha Caswell, Director, Personal

Property Management Policy Division

(MTP), 202–501–3828.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Executive Order 12866

The General Services Administration

(GSA) has determined that this final

rule is not a significant rule for the

purposes of Executive Order 12866 of

September 30, 1993.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

This final rule is not required to be

published in the Federal Register for

public comment. Therefore, the

Regulatory Flexibility Act does not

apply.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act (44

U.S.C. chapter 35) does not apply

because this final rule does not contain

any information collection requirements

that require the approval of the Office of

Management and Budget under 44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

D. Small Business Regulatory

Enforcement Fairness Act

This final rule is exempt from

Congressional review prescribed under

5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to

agency management and personnel.

50 CFR Part 648

[Docket No. 000407096-0096-01; I.D.

101700A]

Fisheries of the Northeastern United

States; Northeast Multispecies

Fishery; Commercial Haddock Harvest

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Removal of haddock daily trip

limit.

SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the

Administrator, Northeast Region, NMFS

(Regional Administrator), has projected

that less than 75 percent of the haddock

target total allowable catch (TAC) will

be harvested (4,689 metric tons (mt) of

the 6,252 mt target TAC) for the 2000

fishing year under the present landing

limit, so the daily landing limit is being

suspended until March 1, 2001.

Therefore, between October 26, 2000,

and February 28, 2001, vessels fishing

under a multispecies day-at-sea (DAS)

may possess no more than 50,000 lb

(22,680 kg) per trip, but are not

restricted to a limit per DAS. Unless

subsequent projections indicate some

other measure is required to ensure that

the haddock target TAC is harvested but

not exceeded, the existing daily trip

limit of 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) per DAS will

go back into effect on March 1.

DATES: Effective October 26, 2000,

through February 28, 2001.

Pearson, Fishery Policy Analyst, 978-

281-9279.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulations implementing the haddock

trip limit in Framework Adjustment 33

(65 FR 21658, April 24, 2000) became

effective May 1, 2000. To ensure that

haddock landings remain within the

target TAC of 6,252 mt established for

the 2000 fishing year, Framework 33

established an initial landing limit of

3,000 lb (1,360.8 kg) per DAS fished and

30,000 lb (13,608 kg) per trip maximum,

followed by an increased landing limit

of 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) per DAS and

50,000 lb (22,680 kg) per trip from

October 1, 2000, through April 30, 2001.

Framework 33 also provided a

mechanism to adjust the haddock trip

limit based upon the percentage of TAC

which is projected to be harvested.

Section 648.86(a)(1)(iii)(B) specifies that

if the Regional Administrator has

projected that less than 75 percent

(4,689 mt) of the haddock target TAC

will be harvested in the 2000 fishing

year, the landing limit may be adjusted.

Further, this section stipulates that

NMFS will publish a notification in the

Federal Register informing the public of

the date of any changes to the landing

limit.

Based on the available information,

the Regional Administrator has

projected that 4,689 mt will not be

harvested by April 30, 2001, under the

existing landing limit. The Regional

Administrator has determined that

removal of the daily landing limit of

5,000 lb (2,268 kg) per DAS through

February 28, 2001, while retaining the

50,000 lb (22,680 kg) per trip possession

limit, provides the industry with the

opportunity to harvest at least 75

percent of the target TAC for the 2000

fishing year. However, because of

difficulties inherent in collecting realtime haddock landings information, the
