SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In a Federal Register document of

March 7, 1997 (62 FR 10514), NHTSA

announced a public workshop to be

held on March 24, 1997, to discuss

electronic accelerator control

technology and potential methods of

assuring its fail-safe performance. On

May 13, the American Automobile

Manufacturers Association (AAMA)

asked NHTSA to postpone the

workshop for sixty days. AAMA asked

for the additional time because the

proposed date of March 24 ‘‘does not

allow manufacturers adequate time to

prepare for the workshop and provide

meaningful input.’’ NHTSA also

received several oral requests for more

time by interested parties.

NHTSA is interested in receiving

well-informed and well-reasoned views

from the participants in its technical

workshop and believes that more

preparation time will enhance the

quality of participation. Therefore, it

grants AAMA’s request for more time.

The new date of the technical workshop

is May 20, 1997. The workshop’s

location is announced in the ADDRESSES

section at the beginning of this

document. The workshop will begin at

10 a.m.

As stated in its March 7, 1997

document, NHTSA wishes workshop

participants to discuss:

(1) The principles of operation of

existing and potential electronic

accelerator control systems for gasoline

and diesel engines;

(2) The principles of operation of

existing and potential means of

providing fail-safe performance in the

event of loss of accelerator control by

the primary system; and

(3) Suggestions for regulatory

requirements that will assure the failsafe performance of electronic

accelerator control systems.

Issued on: March 17, 1997.

John G. Womack,

Acting Chief Counsel.

Fisheries off West Coast States and in

the Western Pacific; Pacific Coast

Groundfish Fishery; Amendment 9

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: NMFS issues this proposed

rule to implement Amendment 9 to the

Fishery Management Plan for the Pacific

Coast Groundfish Fishery (FMP).

Amendment 9 would require a sablefish

endorsement on limited entry permits

for permit holders to participate in the

regular limited entry fixed gear sablefish

fishery north of 36°N. lat. (the U.S.-

Vancouver, Columbia, Eureka, and

Monterey management areas). The

intended effect of this proposed

sablefish endorsement is to promote

safety, stability, and economic viability

of the sablefish fishery by limiting or

reducing harvesting capacity in the

Pacific Coast sablefish fishery. This rule

also would eliminate limited entry

permit ‘‘B’’ endorsement language that

expired January 1, 1997. Elimination of

‘‘B’’ endorsement language is a routine

update of the Pacific Coast groundfish

regulations.

DATES: Comments on the proposed rule

must be received on or before May 5,

1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed

rule, Amendment 9, or supporting

documents should be sent to Mr.

William Stelle, Administrator,

Northwest Region, NMFS, Sand Point

Way NE., BIN C15700, Seattle, WA

98115–0070; or to Mr. William Hogarth,

Acting Administrator, Southwest

Region, NMFS, 501 West Ocean
