voluntary consensus standards in

developing this proposed rule. EPA

invites public comment on this analysis.

VIII. Executive Order 13045

What Is Executive Order 13045?

On April 21, 1997, the President

issued Executive Order 13045 entitled

Protection of Children From

Environmental Health Risks and Safety

Risks (62 FR 19883). Under section 5 of

the Order, a federal agency submitting a

‘‘covered regulatory action’’ to OMB for

review under Executive Order 12866

must provide information regarding the

environmental health or safety effects of

the planned regulation on children. A

‘‘covered regulatory action’’ is defined

in section 2–202 as a substantive action

in a rulemaking, initiated after the date

of this order or for which a Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking is published 1

year after the date of this order, that is

likely to result in a rule that may be

‘‘economically significant’’ under

Executive Order 12866 and concern an

environmental health risk or safety risk

that an agency has reason to believe may

disproportionately affect children.

Does Executive Order 13045 Apply to

This Proposed Rule?

This proposed rule is not a ‘‘covered

regulatory action’’ as defined in the

Order and accordingly is not subject to

section 5 of the Order. As discussed

above this proposed rule does not

constitute economically significant

action (i.e., it is not expected to have an

annual adverse impact of $100 million

or more) under Executive Order 12866.

Further, this rule does not concern an

environmental health risk or safety risk

that disproportionately affects children.

IX. Paperwork Reduction Act

What Is the Paperwork Reduction Act?

According to the Paperwork

Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et

seq., an agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to a collection of information

that requires OMB approval under the

PRA, unless it has been approved by

OMB and displays a currently valid

OMB control number. The OMB control

numbers for EPA’s regulations, after

initial display in the preamble of the

final rules, are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

The information collection requirements

related to this action have already been

approved by OMB pursuant to the PRA

under OMB control number 2070–0012

(EPA ICR No. 574).

Does the Paperwork Reduction Act

Apply to This Proposed Rule?

This action does not impose any

burden requiring OMB approval under

the Paperwork Reduction Act.

X. Executive Order 12875

What is Executive Order 12875 and is it

Applicable to This Proposed Rule?

Enhancing the Intergovernmental

Partnership—This proposed rule does

not impose any enforceable duty or

contain any unfunded mandate that

would require any prior consultation

with State, local or tribal officials under

Executive Order 12875.

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: NMFS proposes this rule to

amend the regulations implementing the

Atlantic Sea Scallop and Northeast

Multispecies Fishery Management Plans

(FMP). This action would change the

name Vessel Tracking System (VTS) to

Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and

would change the VMS operating

requirements for vessels to allow the

VMS unit to be turned off if the vessel

is out of the water continuously for

more than 72 consecutive hours,

provided the vessel obtains and

complies with a letter of exemption. The

change in VMS operating requirements

is necessary to address the problem of
