Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 15389

§ 648.86 Possession and landing

restrictions.

(a) Haddock—(1) NE multispecies

DAS vessels. (i) Except as provided in

paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section, a

vessel that is fishing under a NE

multispecies DAS may land or possess

on board up to 1,000 lb (453.6 kg) of

haddock provided it has at least one

standard tote on board. Haddock on

board a vessel subject to this possession

limit must be separated from other

species of fish and stored so as to be

readily available for inspection.

(ii) Beginning September 1, 1997, and

for the 1997 fishing year only, a vessel

may land up to 1,000 lb (453.6 kg) of

haddock per day, or any part of a day,

up to 10,000 lb (4,536.0 kg) per trip.

Once the Regional Administrator

projects that 1,150 mt will be harvested,

NMFS will publish a notice in the

Federal Register that on a specific date

the possession limit will revert to 1,000

lb (453.6 kg) per trip. At such time that

the 1,000 lb (453.6 kg) per trip

possession limit is reinstated, vessels

will be subject to the restrictions

specified in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this

section. Haddock on board a vessel

subject to this landing limit must be

separated from other species of fish and

stored so as to be readily available for

inspection.

(c) Cod. The following landing

restrictions apply May 1, 1997, through

April 30, 1998:

(1) Landing limit north of 42°00′

North Latitude. (i) Except as provided in

paragraph (c)(2) of this section, a vessel

fishing under a NE multispecies DAS

may land up to 1,000 lb (453.6 kg) of

cod per day, or any part of a day, for

each of the first 4 days of a trip, and may

land up to 1,500 lb (680.4 kg) of cod per

day for each day, or any part of a day,

in excess of 4 consecutive days. A day,

for the purposes of this paragraph,

means a 24 hour period. Vessels callingout of the multispecies DAS program

under § 648.10(c)(3) that have utilized

‘‘part of a day’’ (less than 24 hours) may

land up to an additional 1,000 lb (453.6

kg) of cod for that ‘‘part of a day’’,

however, such vessels may not end any

subsequent trip with cod on board

within the 24-hour period following the

beginning of the ‘‘part of the day’’

utilized (e.g., a vessel that has called-in

to the multispecies DAS program at 3

p.m. on a Monday and ends its trip the

next day (Tuesday) at 4 p.m. (accruing

a total of 25 hours) may legally land up

to 2,000 lb (907.2 kg) of cod on such a

trip, but the vessel may not end any

subsequent trip with cod on board until

after 3 p.m. on the following day

(Wednesday)). Cod on board a vessel

subject to this landing limit must be

separated from other species of fish and

stored so as to be readily available for

inspection.

(ii) A vessel subject to the cod landing

limit restrictions described in paragraph

(c)(1)(i) of this section may come into

port with, and offload cod in excess of

the landing limit as determined by the

number of DAS elapsed since the vessel

called into the DAS program, provided

that:

(A) The vessel operator does not callout of the DAS program as described

under § 648.10(c)(3) until sufficient time

has elapsed to account for and justify

the amount of cod harvested at the time

of offloading regardless if whether all of

the cod on board is offloaded (e.g., a

vessel that has called-in to the

multispecies DAS program at 3 p.m. on

Monday may fish and come back into

port at 4 p.m. on Wednesday of that

same week with 4,000 lb (1,814.4 kg) of

cod, and offload some or all of its catch,

but cannot call out of the DAS program

until 3:01 p.m. the next day, Thursday

(i.e., 3 days plus one minute)); and

(B) Upon entering port, and before

offloading, the vessel operator notifies

the Regional Administrator by calling

508–281–9278 and provides the

following information: Vessel name and

permit number, owner and caller name,

phone number, and the hail weight of

cod on board and the amount of cod to

be offloaded, if any. A vessel that has

not exceeded the landing limit and is

offloading and ending its trip by calling

out of the multispecies DAS program

does not have to report under this callin system.

(iii) A vessel that has not exceeded

the cod landing limit restrictions

described in paragraph (c)(1)(i) and is

offloading some or all of its catch but

not calling out of the multispecies DAS

program under § 648.10(c)(3), is subject

to the call-in requirement described in

paragraph (c)(1)(ii)(B) of this section.

(2) Exemption. A vessel fishing under

a NE multispecies DAS is exempt from

the landing limit described in paragraph

(c)(1) when fishing south of 42°00′ N.

lat., provided that it does not fish north

of this exemption area for a minimum

of 30 consecutive days (when fishing

under the multispecies DAS program),

and has on board an authorization letter

issued by the Regional Administrator.

Vessels exempt from the landing limit

requirement may transit the GOM/GB

Regulated Mesh Area north of the 42°00′

N. lat., provided that their gear is

stowed in accordance with one of the

provisions of § 648.81(e).

(d) Other possession restrictions.

Vessels are subject to any other

applicable possession limit restrictions

of this part.

In title 21 of the Code of Federal

Regulations, parts 1 to 99, revised as of

April 1, 1996, on page 369, in § 74.2101

a portion of the text for paragraph (a)

was inadvertently removed. Paragraph

(a) should read as follows:

§ 74.2101 FD&C Blue No. 1.

(a) Identity. The color additive FD&C

Blue No. 1 is principally the disodium

salt of ethyl[4-[p-[ethyl(msulfobenzyl)amino]-α-(osulfophenyl)benzylidene]-2,5-

cyclohexadien-1-ylidene](msulfobenzyl)ammonium hydroxide inner

salt with smaller amounts of the

isomeric disodium salts of ethyl[4-[p-

[ethyl(p-sulfobenzyl)amino]-α-(osulfophenyl)benzylidene]-2,5-

cyclohexadien-1-ylidene](psulfobenzyl)ammonium hydroxide inner

salt and ethyl[4-[p-[ethyl(osulfobenzyl)amino]-α-(osulfophenyl)benzylidene]-2,5-

cyclohexadien-1-ylidene](osulfobenzyl)ammonium hydroxide inner

salt. Additionally, FD&C Blue No. 1 is

manufactured by the acid catalyzed

condensation of one mole of sodium 2-

formylbenzenesulfonate with two moles

from a mixture consisting principally of

3-[(ethylphenylamino)methyl]

benzenesulfonic acid, and smaller

amounts of 4-

[(ethylphenylamino)methyl]

benzenesulfonic acid and 2-

[(ethylphenylamino)methyl]

benzenesulfonic acid to form the leuco

base. The leuco base is then oxidized

with lead dioxide and acid, or with

dichromate and acid, or with manganese

dioxide and acid to form the dye. The

intermediate sodium 2-

formylbenzenesulfonate is prepared

from 2-chlorobenzaldehyde and sodium

sulfite.
