pre-existing requirements under State

law and does not impose any additional

enforceable duty beyond that required

by State law, it does not contain any

unfunded mandate or significantly or

uniquely affect small governments, as

described in the Unfunded Mandates

Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4). For

the same reason, this action also does

not significantly or uniquely affect the

communities of Tribal governments, as

specified by Executive Order 13084 (63

FR 27655, May 10, 1998). This action

will not have substantial direct effects

on the States, on the relationship

between the national government and

the States, or on the distribution of

power and responsibilities among the

various levels of government, as

specified in Executive Order 13132 (64

FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it

merely authorizes State requirements as

part of the State RCRA hazardous waste

program without altering the

relationship or the distribution of power

and responsibilities established by

RCRA. This action also is not subject to

Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,

April 23, 1997), because it is not

economically significant and it does not

make decisions based on environmental

health or safety risks.

Under RCRA 3006(b), EPA grants a

State’s application for authorization as

long as the State meets the criteria

required by RCRA. It would thus be

inconsistent with applicable law for

EPA, when it reviews a State

authorization application, to require the

use of any particular voluntary

consensus standard in place of another

standard that otherwise satisfies the

requirements of RCRA. Thus, the

requirements of section 12(d) of the

National Technology Transfer and

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.

272 note) do not apply. As required by

section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61

F.R. 4729, February 7, 1996), in issuing

this rule, EPA has taken the necessary

steps to eliminate drafting errors and

ambiguity, minimize potential litigation,

and provide a clear legal standard for

affected conduct. EPA has complied

with Executive Order 12630 (53 F.R.

8859, March 15, 1988) by examining the

takings implications of the rule in

accordance with the ‘‘Attorney

General’s Supplemental Guidelines for

the Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of

Unanticipated Takings’ issued under the

executive order. This rule does not

impose an information collection

burden under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

The Congressional Review Act, 5

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides

that before a rule may take effect, the

agency promulgating the rule must

submit a rule report, which includes a

copy of the rule, to each House of the

Congress and to the Comptroller General

of the United States. EPA will submit a

report containing this document and

other required information to the U.S.

Senate, the U.S. House of

Representatives, and the Comptroller

General of the United States prior to

publication in the Federal Register. A

major rule cannot take effect until 60

days after it is published in the Federal

Register. This action is not a ‘‘major

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This

action will be effective January 29, 2001.

Commission.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

SUMMARY: This document contains

corrections to the final regulations

which were published in the Federal

Register of Tuesday, August 29, 2000,

(65 FR 52323). The regulations related

to the competitive bidding rules for all

auctionable services in § 1.2110 of the

Commission’s rules.

DATES: Effective November 28, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the

Federal Register of August 29, 2000 (65

FR 52323), the Commission published a

summary of its Order on

Reconsideration of the Third Report and

Order, Fifth Report and Order (Order on

Reconsideration, Fifth Report and

Order) in WT Docket No. 97–82. That

document clarified and amended the

Commission’s competitive bidding rules

in an ongoing effort to establish a

uniform and streamlined set of general

competitive bidding rules for all

auctionable services and to reduce the

burden on both the Commission and the

public of conducting service-specific

auction rule makings.

Need for Correction

As published, the final regulations

contain errors which may prove to be

misleading and need to be clarified.

Company B (the applicant) and 10

percent of Company C, then Companies

A and C must be listed on Company B’s

application, where C is an FCC licensee

and/or license applicant);

50 CFR Part 622

[I.D. 112000B]

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of

Mexico, and South Atlantic; Reef Fish

Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico; Closure

of the Commercial Red Snapper

Component

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Closure.

SUMMARY: NMFS closes the commercial

fishery for red snapper in the exclusive

economic zone (EEZ) of the Gulf of

Mexico. NMFS has determined that the

fall portion of the annual commercial

quota for red snapper will be reached on

December 8, 2000. This closure is

necessary to protect the red snapper

resource.

DATES: Closure is effective noon, local

time, December 8, 2000, until noon,

local time, on February 1, 2001.

Steele, telephone: 727-570-5305; fax:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The reef

fish fishery of the Gulf of Mexico is

managed under the Fishery

Management Plan for the Reef Fish

Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP).

The FMP was prepared by the Gulf of

Mexico Fishery Management Council

and approved and implemented by

NMFS, under the authority of the

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

Conservation and Management Act, by

regulations at 50 CFR part 622. Those

regulations set the commercial quota for

red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico at

4.65 million lb (2.11 million kg) for the

current fishing year, January 1 through

December 31, 2000. The red snapper

commercial fishing season is split into

two time periods, the first commencing

at noon on February 1 with two-thirds

of the annual quota (3.10 million lb

(1.41 million kg)) available, and the

second commencing at noon on October

1 with the remainder of the annual

quota available. During the commercial

season, the red snapper commercial

fishery opens at noon on the first of

each month and closes at noon on the

10th of each month, until the applicable

commercial quotas are reached.

Under 50 CFR 622.43(a), NMFS is

required to close the commercial fishery

for a species or species group when the

quota for that species or species group

is reached, or is projected to be reached,

by filing a notification to that effect in

the Federal Register. Based on current

statistics, NMFS has determined that the

annual commercial quota of 4.65

million lb (2.11 million kg) for red

snapper will be reached when the

fishery closes at noon on December 8,

2000. Accordingly, the commercial

fishery in the EEZ in the Gulf of Mexico

for red snapper will remain closed until

noon, local time, on February 1, 2001.

The operator of a vessel with a valid reef

fish permit having red snapper aboard

must have landed and bartered, traded,

or sold such red snapper prior to noon,

local time, December 8, 2000.

During the closure, the bag and

possession limits specified in 50 CFR

622.39(b) apply to all harvest or

possession of red snapper in or from the

EEZ in the Gulf of Mexico, and the sale

or purchase of red snapper taken from

the EEZ is prohibited. In addition, the

bag and possession limits for red

snapper apply on board a vessel for

which a commercial permit for Gulf reef

fish has been issued, without regard to

where such red snapper were harvested.

However, the bag and possession limits

for red snapper apply only when the

recreational quota for red snapper has

not been reached and the bag and

possession limits have not been reduced

to zero. The prohibition on sale or

purchase does not apply to sale or

purchase of red snapper that were

harvested, landed ashore, and sold prior

to noon, local time, December 8, 2000,

and were held in cold storage by a

dealer or processor.

Classification

This action is taken under 50 CFR

622.43(a) and is exempt from review

under Executive Order 12866.

Dated: November 21, 2000.
