**RIN 9991–AA56**

**Organization and Delegation of Powers and Duties; Assistant Secretary for**  **Administration**

**AGENCY :**  Office of the Secretary of Transportation.

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  This rule delegates authorities vested in the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (Act) (Pub. L. 110–140; December 19, 2007) to the Assistant Secretary for Administration.

**DATES :**  This rule is effective March 21,
2011.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Eugene Tumblin in the Office of Facilities, Information, and Asset Management at (202) 366–0266 or Brett Jortland in the Office of the General Counsel at (202) 366–9314.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On December 19, 2007, the Act was signed into law. Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1.59 delegates to the Assistant Secretary for Administration the authority to carry out various functions and activities related to the mission of the agency vested in or delegated to the Secretary. The Secretary has determined that certain authority vested in the Secretary under the Act concerning DOT fleet management activities should be delegated to the Assistant Secretary for Administration. This rulemaking adds subparagraph (a)(7) to § 1.59 to reflect these delegations.

Since this amendment relates to departmental management, organization, procedure, and practice, notice and comment are unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b). Further, since the amendment expedites the Department’s ability to meet the statutory intent of the applicable laws and regulations covered by this delegation, the Secretary finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) for the final rule to be effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register

. Regulatory Analyses and Notices

A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures

The final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034). There are no costs associated with this rule.

B. Executive Order 13132

This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132 ( ‘‘Federalism’’ ). This final rule does not have a substantial direct effect on, or sufficient federalism implications for, the States, nor would it limit the policymaking discretion of the States. Therefore, the consultation requirements of Executive Order 13132 do not apply.

C. Executive Order 13175

This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 ( ‘‘ Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments ’’ ). Because this final rule does not significantly or uniquely affect the


### 15222 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 54 / Monday, March 21, 2011 / Rules and Regulations

communities of the Indian tribal governments and does not impose substantial direct compliance costs, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive Order 13175 do not apply. D. Regulatory Flexibility Act

No notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule under the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553, so the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. ) do not apply. This rule will impose no costs on small entities because it simply delegates authority from one official to another. Therefore, I certify this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small businesses. E. Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule contains no information collection requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

The Department of Transportation has determined that the requirements of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 do not apply to this rulemaking. List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 1

**RIN 0648–BA58**

**Hawaii Bottomfish and Seamount Groundfish Fisheries; Modification of**  **Fishery Closures**

**AGENCY :**  National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  This final rule changes theadvance notification period for inseason closure of the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) Deep-7 bottomfish fishery from 14 to 7 days. The intent of the change is to enhance administration of the fishery.

**DATES :**  This final rule is effective April 20, 2011.

**ADDRESSES :**  Copies of the Fishery Ecosystem Plan for the Hawaiian Archipelago are available from the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council), 1164 Bishop St., Suite 1400, Honolulu, HI 96813, tel 808–522–8220, fax 808–522–8226, http://www.wpcouncil.org.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Jarad Makaiau, NMFS PIR Sustainable Fisheries, 808–944–2108.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The fishery for main Hawaiian Islands Deep 7 bottomfish is managed under a total allowable catch (TAC) limit. NMFS and the State of Hawaii monitor progress towards the TAC based on records of commercial bottomfish landings collected by the State. When bottomfish landings approach the TAC, NMFS, the State, and the Council determine the date the TAC is projected to be reached,and the commercial and noncommercial fisheries for Deep 7 bottomfish will be closed.

Federal regulations at 50 CFR 665.211 require NMFS to notify fishermen and the public of the date when the fisheries will close through a notice in the Federal Register and other means. This final rule changes the minimum required advance notification period from 14 to 7 days. The objective of this final rule is to enhance administration of the fishery by streamlining the advanced notification.

Additional background information on this final rule is found in the preamble to the proposed rule published on February 14, 2011 (76 FR 8330). Briefly, reducing the advance notification period for a closure of the Deep 7 bottomfish fishery will allow NMFS to more accurately determine the closure date, while still providing fishermen with sufficient notice of the impending closure. The comment period for the proposed rule ended on March 1, 2011, and NMFS did not receive any comments. Changes From the Proposed Rule

There are no changes from the proposed rule in this final rule.

Classification

The Administrator, Pacific Islands Region, NMFS, determined that this final rule is necessary for the conservation and management of the Hawaii bottomfish fishery, and that it is consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and other applicable laws.

This final rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866.

The Chief Counsel for Regulation of the Department of Commerce certified to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration during the proposed rule stage that this action would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The factual basis for the certification was published in the proposed rule and is not repeated here. No comments were received regarding this certification. As a result, a regulatory flexibility analysis was not required and none was prepared. List of Subjects in 50 CFR Part 665
