Northeast Multispecies Fishery;

Framework 9 Measures; Reporting

Requirements

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule; effectiveness of

collection-of-information requirements.

SUMMARY: NMFS announces approval by

the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) of collection-of-information

requirements contained in Framework

Adjustment 9 to the Northeast

Multispecies Fishery Management Plan

(FMP). This rule makes effective several

reporting requirements that are

associated with regulations that provide

significant regulatory relief to

fishermen, including transiting certain

closed areas under specified conditions,

fishing by vessels in a given state’s

winter flounder fishing program under

certain conditions using net mesh size

less than the minimum mesh size, and

fishing by party and charter boats in the

Nantucket Lightship Closed Area under

certain conditions.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Sections

651.20(a)(6)(iii)(B), 651.20(j)(1), and

651.21(c)(2)(iv)(A) published at 60 FR

19364 (April 18, 1995) are effective on

April 28, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Any comments regarding

burden-hour estimates for collection-ofinformation requirements contained in

this final rule should be sent to the

Regional Director, Northeast Regional

Office, National Marine Fisheries

Service, Gloucester, MA 01930, and to

the Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, (Attention: NOAA Desk Officer),

Office of Management and Budget,

Washington, DC 20503.

Analyst, 508–281–9252.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A final

rule that implemented the measures

contained in Framework 9 to the FMP

was published in the Federal Register

on April 18, 1995 (60 FR 19364), and

most of those measures were made

effective on April 13, 1995. However,

because OMB approval of the reporting

requirements contained in Framework 9

had not yet been received as of the

effective date of that rule, effectiveness

of those measures was delayed. OMB

approval for those measures was

received on April 26, 1995.

Consequently this rule makes the three

reporting measures

(§§ 651.20(a)(6)(iii)(B), 651.20(j)(1), and

651.21(c)(2)(iv)(A)), which were

codified in the April 18 final rule,

effective.

Classification

The Assistant Administrator for

Fisheries, NOAA, finds that, under 5

U.S.C. 553(d)(1), because immediate

implementation of this rule relieves

restrictions on the industry with

virtually no impact on the conservation

objectives of the FMP, there is no need

to delay the effectiveness of the

reporting requirements contained

herein.

This rule contains three new

collection-of-information requirements

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act

that have been approved by the Office

of Management and Budget under OMB

control number 0648–0202. The public

reporting burden for each of these

collections of information is estimated

to be 2 minutes per response, including

time for reviewing instructions,

searching existing data sources,

gathering and maintaining data needed,

and completing and reviewing the

collection of information. Send

comments regarding these reporting

burden estimates or any other aspect of

these collections of information,

including suggestions for reducing the

burdens, to NMFS and OMB (see

ADDRESSES).

NOAA codifies its OMB control

numbers for information collection at 50

CFR 204.1.

This action has been determined to be

not significant for purposes of E.O.

12866.

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

Dated: April 28, 1995.
