SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to 

be deleted from the NPL is: Midvale 

Slag Superfund Site (Site), located in 

Salt Lake County, Utah. A Notice of 

Intent to Delete for this Site was 

published in the Federal Register (80 

FR 6496) on February 5, 2015. 

The closing date for comments on the 

Notice of Intent to Delete was March 9, 

2015. One public comment was 

received. The comment requested that 

the Site not be deleted over concerns 

that water quality in the Jordan River 

would not be protected from the 

potential release of hazardous 

substances from the Kennecott North 

and Kennecott South Sites. The EPA 

believes the deletion action is 

appropriate as the remediation goals for 

this Site have been met and the water 

monitoring data shows that the Jordan 

River is not being adversely affected by 

this Site. A responsiveness summary 

was prepared and placed in both the 

docket, EPA–HQ–SFUND EPA–HQ– 

SFUND–1991–0006, on 

www.regulations.gov, and in the local 

repository listed above. 

EPA maintains the NPL as the list of 

sites that appear to present a significant 

risk to public health, welfare, or the 

environment. Deletion from the NPL 

does not preclude further remedial 

action. Whenever there is a significant 

release from a site deleted from the NPL, 

the deleted site may be restored to the 

NPL without application of the hazard 

ranking system. Deletion of a site from 

the NPL does not affect responsible 

party liability in the unlikely event that 

future conditions warrant further 

actions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In the 2014 annual management 

measures for ocean salmon fisheries (79 

FR 24580, May 1, 2014), NMFS 

announced the commercial and 

recreational fisheries in the area from 

the U.S./Canada border to the U.S./

Mexico border, beginning May 1, 2014, 

and 2015 salmon seasons opening 

earlier than May 1, 2015. NMFS is 

authorized to implement inseason 

management actions to modify fishing 

seasons and quotas as necessary to 

provide fishing opportunity while 

meeting management objectives for the 

affected species (50 CFR 660.409). 

Inseason actions in the salmon fishery 

may be taken directly by NMFS (50 CFR 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
18782 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 67 / Wednesday, April 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

660.409(a)—Fixed inseason 

management provisions) or upon 

consultation with the Pacific Fishery 

Management Council (Council) and the 

appropriate State Directors (50 CFR 

660.409(b)—Flexible inseason 

management provisions). The state 

management agencies that participate in 

these consultations are: California 

Department of Fish and Wildlife 

(CDFW), Oregon Department of Fish and 

Wildlife (ODFW), and Washington 

Department of Fish and Wildlife 

(WDFW). 

Management of the salmon fisheries is 

generally divided into two geographic 

areas: North of Cape Falcon (U.S./

Canada border to Cape Falcon, OR) and 

south of Cape Falcon (Cape Falcon, OR, 

to the U.S./Mexico border). The 

inseason actions reported in this 

document affect fisheries south of Cape 

Falcon. Within the south of Cape Falcon 

area, the Klamath Management Zone 

(KMZ) extends from Humbug Mountain, 

OR, to Humboldt South Jetty, CA, and 

is divided at the Oregon/California 

border into the Oregon KMZ to the 

north and California KMZ to the south. 

All times mentioned refer to Pacific 

daylight time. 

Inseason Actions 

Inseason Action #1 

Description of action: Inseason action 

#1 modified the dates for the pre-May 

2015 commercial salmon fishery from 

Cape Falcon, OR, to Humbug Mountain, 

OR (Newport/Tillamook and Coos Bay 

subareas) and from Humbug Mountain, 

OR, to the Oregon/California border 

(Oregon KMZ). These fisheries opened 

on April 1, 2015 rather than March 15, 

2015, as previously scheduled (79 FR 

24580). 

Effective dates: Inseason action #1 

took effect on March 15, 2015, and 

remains in effect through April 30, 

2015. 

Reason and authorization for the 

action: This action was taken to limit 

fishery impacts on age-4 Klamath River 

fall Chinook salmon (KRFC), the 

surrogate for managing impacts on 

California coastal Chinook salmon, 

which are listed as threatened under the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA). Inseason 

action to modify quotas and/or fishing 

seasons is authorized by 50 CFR 

660.409(b)(1)(i). 

Consultation date and participants: 

Consultation on inseason action #1 

occurred at the Council meeting on 

March 11, 2015. The state of Oregon 

recommended the Council adopt this 

action for recommendation to NMFS. 

Inseason Action #2 

Description of action: Inseason action 

#2 cancelled the pre-May 2015 

commercial salmon fishery from Horse 

Mountain, CA, to Point Arena, CA (Fort 

Bragg subarea), previously scheduled to 

open on April 16, 2015 (79 FR 24580). 

Effective dates: Inseason action #2 

takes effect on April 16, 2015, and 

remains in effect until April 30, 2015. 

Reason and authorization for the 

action: This action was taken to limit 

fishery impacts on age-4 Klamath River 

fall Chinook salmon (KRFC), the 

surrogate for managing impacts on 

California coastal Chinook salmon, 

which are listed as threatened under the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA). Inseason 

action to modify quotas and/or fishing 

seasons is authorized by 50 CFR 

660.409(b)(1)(i). 

Consultation date and participants: 

Consultation on inseason action #2 

occurred at the Council meeting on 

March 11, 2015. The state of California 

recommended the Council adopt this 

action for recommendation to NMFS. 

All other restrictions and regulations 

remain in effect as announced for the 

2014 ocean salmon fisheries and 2015 

fisheries opening prior to May 1, 2015 

(79 FR 24580, May 1, 2014). 

The RA determined that the best 

available information indicated that 

Chinook salmon abundance forecasts 

and estimates of fishery impacts 

supported the above inseason actions 

recommended by the states of Oregon 

and California. The states manage the 

fisheries in state waters adjacent to the 

areas of the U.S. exclusive economic 

zone in accordance with these Federal 

actions. As provided by the inseason 

notice procedures of 50 CFR 660.411, 

actual notice of the described regulatory 

actions was given, prior to the time the 

action was effective, by telephone 

hotline numbers 206–526–6667 and 

800–662–9825, and by U.S. Coast Guard 

Notice to Mariners broadcasts on 

Channel 16 VHF–FM and 2182 kHz. 

Classification 

The Assistant Administrator for 

Fisheries, NOAA (AA), finds that good 

cause exists for this notification to be 

issued without affording prior notice 

and opportunity for public comment 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) because such 

notification would be impracticable. As 

previously noted, actual notice of the 

regulatory actions was provided to 

fishers through telephone hotline and 

radio notification. These actions comply 

with the requirements of the annual 

management measures for ocean salmon 

fisheries (79 FR 24580, May 1, 2014), 

the West Coast Salmon Fishery 

Management Plan (Salmon FMP), and 

regulations implementing the Salmon 

FMP, 50 CFR 660.409 and 660.411. Prior 

notice and opportunity for public 

comment was impracticable because 

NMFS and the state agencies had 

insufficient time to provide for prior 

notice and the opportunity for public 

comment between the time Chinook 

salmon abundance forecasts and catch 

and effort projections were developed 

and fisheries impacts were calculated, 

and the time the fishery modifications 

had to be implemented in order to 

ensure that fisheries are managed based 

on the best available scientific 

information, ensuring that conservation 

objectives and ESA consultation 

standards are not exceeded. The AA 

also finds good cause to waive the 30- 

day delay in effectiveness required 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), as a delay in 

effectiveness of these actions would 

allow fishing at levels inconsistent with 

the goals of the Salmon FMP and the 

current management measures. 

These actions are authorized by 50 

CFR 660.409 and 660.411 and are 

exempt from review under Executive 

Order 12866. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. 

Dated: April 3, 2015.
