CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND

45 CFR Parts 2510, 2516, 2517, 2519,

2521, and 2540

Administrative Costs for Learn and

Serve America and AmeriCorps Grants

Programs

AGENCY: Corporation for National and

Community Service.

ACTION: Interim final rule adopted as

final rule.

SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final

rule, without change, an interim final

rule that amended the Corporation’s

regulations relating to administrative

costs in 45 C.F.R. Parts 2510, 2516,

2517, 2519, 2521, and 2540 published at

63 FR 18135, April 14, 1998. The rule

amends the Corporation’s regulations

implementing a statutory limit on the

percentage of assistance to specified

national service programs that may be

used to pay for administrative costs. The

rule clarifies the definition of

administrative costs, adds an explicit

definition of program costs that are not

subject to the limitation on

administrative costs, and provides

additional guidelines for applying the

limitation on administrative costs.

DATES: The interim final rule was

effective April 14, 1998.

Michael Kenefick, Director of Grants

Management, Corporation for National

Service, (202) 606–5000, ext. 101.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On April 14, 1998, the Corporation for

National and Community Service

(Corporation) published an interim final

rule amending its regulations

implementing provisions of the National

and Community Service Act of 1990, as

amended, under which not more than

five percent of assistance for a fiscal

year may be used to pay for

administrative costs. This limitation

applies to the following types of

programs: (1) School-based servicelearning programs; (2) community-based

service-learning programs; (3) higher

education innovative programs for

community service; and (4) national

service programs assisted under sections

121(a) and 121(b) of the Act through

grants to State Commissions, Indian

Tribes, U.S. Territories, and national

nonprofit organizations.

The Act itself does not define

‘‘administrative costs’’ but directs the

Corporation to prescribe by rule the

manner and extent to which assistance

provided may be used to pay for

administrative costs and the distribution

of such costs between grantees and subgrantees. The final rule clarifies the

types of costs that are considered

subject to the five percent limitation on

administrative costs. The final rule

includes an itemization of costs that are

directly related to programs and

projects, and therefore excluded from

the definition of administrative costs.

The final rule also provides guidelines

for the implementation of the statutory

requirements, including the use of

indirect cost rates and the use of fixed

rates for administrative costs.

Comments on the interim final rule

were due June 15, 1998. We did not

receive any comments. The facts

presented in the interim final rule still

provide a basis for the rule.

This action also affirms the

information contained in the interim

rule concerning Executive Order 12866

and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the

Paperwork Reduction Act, the

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, and

Executive Order 12875.

[Docket No. 971208297–8054–02; I.D.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic

Zone Off Alaska; Pacific Ocean Perch

in the Western Regulatory Area

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Modification of a closure.

SUMMARY: NMFS is opening directed

fishing for Pacific ocean perch in the

Western Regulatory Area of the Gulf of

Alaska management area (GOA). This

action is necessary to fully utilize the

1998 total allowable catch (TAC) of

Pacific ocean perch in this area.

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local

time (A.l.t.), July 15, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Andrew Smoker, 907–586–7228.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS

manages the groundfish fishery in the

GOA exclusive economic zone

according to the Fishery Management

Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of

Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North

Pacific Fishery Management Council

under authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and

Management Act. Regulations governing

fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance

with the FMP appear at subpart H of 50

CFR part 600 and 50 CFR part 679.

In accordance with § 679.20(c)(3)(ii),

the Final 1998 Harvest Specifications of

Groundfish for the GOA (63 FR 12027,

March 12, 1998) established the amount

of the 1998 TAC of Pacific ocean perch

in the Western Regulatory Area of the

Gulf of Alaska as 1,810 metric tons (mt).

The Administrator, Alaska Region,

NMFS (Regional Administrator), has

established a directed fishing allowance

of 1,610 mt, and set aside the remaining

200 mt as bycatch to support other

anticipated groundfish fisheries. The

fishery for Pacific ocean perch in the

Western Regulatory Area of the GOA

was closed to directed fishing under

§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii) on July 3, 1998, (63 FR

36863, July 8, 1998).

NMFS has determined that as of July

14, 1998, 1,300 mt remain in the

directed fishing allowance. Therefore,

NMFS is terminating the previous

closure and is opening directed fishing

for Pacific ocean perch in the Western

Regulatory Area of the GOA.

Classification

All other closures remain in full force

and effect. This action responds to the

best available information recently

obtained from the fishery. It must be

implemented immediately in order to

allow full utilization of the Pacific

ocean perch TAC. Providing prior notice

and opportunity for public comment for

this action is impracticable and contrary

to the public interest. Further delay

would only disrupt the FMP objective of

providing the Pacific ocean perch TAC

for harvest. NMFS finds for good cause

that the implementation of this action

cannot be delayed for 30 days.

Accordingly, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), a

delay in the effective date is hereby

waived.

This action is required by § 679.20

and is exempt from review under E.O.

12866.

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

Dated: July 15, 1998.
