Interconnection and Resale

Obligations Pertaining to Commercial

Mobile Radio Services; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: On September 29, 2000, the

Commission published a document in

the Federal Register which established

service rules governing the manual

roaming responsibilities of Commercial

Mobile Radio Services (CMRS)

providers. This document makes

corrections to that document.

DATES: Effective November 28, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul

Murray at (202) 418–7240.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission, in its summary of the

Memorandum Opinion and Order

(MO&O), FR Doc. 00–24964, published

in the Federal Register of September 29,

2000 (65 FR 58477) released information

that requires correction. First, it

misstated the correct agency docket

number for the item (CC Docket No. 94–

54) in the headings section. Then, in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of

the preamble, the Commission

erroneously incorporated a docket

number and the associated adoption and

release dates from another proceeding

into this item thereby omitting the

correct docket number for this

proceeding (CC Docket No. 94–54), the

correct adoption date of the MO&O (July

13, 2000), and the correct release date of

the MO&O (August 28, 2000). Further,

this item corrects the phone listing for

Paul Murray to 418–7240.

In FR Doc. 00–24964, published in the

Federal Register of September 29, 2000

(65 FR 58477), make the following

corrections:

column, in the Agency Docket number,

correct ‘‘PR Docket No. 94–54’’ to read

‘‘CC Docket No. 94–54.’’

(2) On the same page, in the third

column, line four, correct ‘‘(202) 418–

0688’’ to read ‘‘(202) 418–7240.’’

[Docket No. 000211040–0040–01; I.D.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic

Zone Off Alaska; Reallocation of

Pollock

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Reallocation.

SUMMARY: NMFS is reallocating

projected unused amounts of Bering Sea

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 203 / Thursday, October 19, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 62647

subarea (BS) pollock from the incidental

catch allowance to the directed

fisheries. This action is necessary to

allow the 2000 total allowable catch

(TAC) of pollock to be harvested.

DATES: Effective October 13, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Andrew Smoker, 907–586-7228.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS

manages the groundfish fishery in the

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands area

(BSAI) according to the Fishery

Management Plan for the Groundfish

Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian

Islands Area (FMP) prepared by the

North Pacific Fishery Management

Council under authority of the

Magnuson–Stevens 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.

In accordance with section 206(b) of

the American Fisheries Act (AFA),

NMFS specified a pollock incidental

catch allowance equal to 5 percent of

the pollock total allowable catch after

subtraction of the 10 percent

Community Development Quota reserve

in the Final 2000 Harvest Specifications

for Groundfish for the BSAI (65 FR

8282, February 18, 2000).

As of October 10, 2000, the

Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS

(Regional Administrator), has

determined that approximately 14,000

metric tons (mt) of pollock remain in the

incidental catch allowance. Based on

projected harvest rates of other

groundfish species and the expected

bycatch of pollock in those fisheries, the

Regional Administrator has determined

that 9,000 mt of pollock specified in the

incidental catch account will not be

necessary as incidental catch. Therefore,

NMFS is apportioning the projected

unused amount, 9,000 mt, of pollock

from the incidental catch allowance to

the directed fishing allowances

established at section 206(b) of the AFA.

This transfer will increase the allocation

to catcher vessels harvesting pollock for

processing by the inshore component by

4,500 mt, to catcher/processors and

catcher vessels harvesting pollock for

processing by catcher processors in the

offshore component by 3,600 mt, and to

catcher vessels harvesting pollock for

processing by motherships in the

offshore component by 900 mt. Pursuant

to section 210(c) of the AFA, no less

than 8.5 percent of the 3,600 mt

allocated to catcher processors in the

offshore component, 306 mt, will be

available for harvest only by eligible

catcher vessels delivering to listed

catcher processors.

Regulations in the emergency interim

rule establishing Steller sea lion

protection measures for the pollock

fisheries off Alaska (65 FR 3892, January

25, 2000) and extended (65 FR 36795,

June 12, 2000) allow for catch to occur

within the C/D season so that pollock

removals from all sectors do not exceed

60 percent of the annual TAC. Sixty

percent of the annual pollock TAC is

equal to 683,400 mt tons. With this

apportionment the C/D season catch for

the three combined directed fisheries,

the CDQ fishery, and bycatch of pollock

in other directed groundfish fisheries

will be less than 679,000 mt, thereby not

violating the 60 percent restriction.

The emergency interim rule to

establish AFA permit requirements (65

FR 380, January 5, 2000) and the

extension (65 FR 39107, June 23, 2000)

set out procedures for AFA inshore

catcher vessel pollock cooperatives to

apply for and receive cooperative

fishing permits and inshore pollock

allocations. NMFS received applications

from seven inshore catcher vessel

cooperatives by the application deadline

of December 31, 1999. Table 1 revises

the final 2000 BS subarea allocations to

include the seven inshore catcher vessel

pollock cooperatives that have been

approved and permitted by NMFS for

the 2000 fishing year consistent with

this reallocation.

Classification

This action responds to the best

available information recently obtained

from the fishery. NMFS finds that the

need to implement this action

immediately in order to allow full

utilization of the pollock TAC

constitutes good cause to waive prior

notice and comment as such procedures

are unnecessary and contrary to the

public interest. As further delay would

only disrupt the AFA and the FMP’s

objective of providing pollock for

harvest in directed fisheries, NMFS

finds for good cause that the

implementation of this action cannot be

delayed for 30 days. Accordingly, under

5 U.S.C. 553(d), a delay in the effective

date is hereby waived.

This action is taken under 50 CFR

679.20, and is exempt from review

under E.O. 12866.
