FUEL ECONOMY

The fuel economy grade gives a relative

value of the tire’s potential to affect a motor

vehicle’s fuel economy. For example, a

vehicle with four tires rated ‘‘A’’ for fuel

economy would have lower rolling resistance

and therefore greater fuel efficiency than a

vehicle with four tires rated ‘‘B’’ or ‘‘C’’.

Saving fuel reduces carbon dioxide emissions

which contribute to global warming. It

should be noted, however, that actual fuel

savings depend on driving habits, proper

vehicle and tire maintenance, proper tire

inflation pressure, road conditions, and

climate. The fuel economy grade is based on

testing the tire for rolling resistance under

controlled conditions using specified test

procedures. Only tires of the size appropriate

for your car should be compared.

FUEL ECONOMY

The fuel economy grade gives a relative

value of the tire’s potential to affect a motor

vehicle’s fuel economy. For example, a

vehicle with four tires rated ‘‘2%’’ for fuel

economy would achieve 2% higher fuel

economy than a vehicle with four tires rated

‘‘0%.’’ A vehicle with two tires rated ‘‘2%’’

and two tires rated ‘‘0%’’ would achieve 1%

higher fuel economy than a vehicle with four

tires rated ‘‘0%.’’ Saving fuel reduces carbon

dioxide emissions which contribute to global

warming. It should be noted, however, that

actual fuel savings depend on driving habits,

proper vehicle and tire maintenance, proper

tire inflation pressure, road conditions, and

climate. The fuel economy grade is based on

Groundfish of the Bering Sea and

Aleutian Islands Area; Apportionment

of Reserve

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration,

Commerce.

ACTION: Apportionment of reserve;

request for comments.

SUMMARY: NMFS proposes to apportion

reserve to certain target species in the

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands

management area (BSAI). This action is

necessary to allow for ongoing harvest

and account for previous harvest of the

total allowable catch (TAC). It is

intended to promote the goals and

objectives of the North Pacific Fishery

Management Council.

DATES: Comments must be received at

the following address no later than 4:30

p.m., Alaska local time June 7, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be sent to

Ronald J. Berg, Chief, Fisheries

Management Division, Alaska Region,

NMFS, 709 W. 9th, Room 453, Juneau,

AK 99801 or P.O. Box 21668, Juneau,

AK 99802, Attention: Lori Gravel.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nick

Hindman, 907–586-7228.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

groundfish fishery in the U.S. BSAI

exclusive economic zone is managed by

NMFS according to the Fishery

Management Plan for the Groundfish

Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian

Islands Area (FMP) prepared by the

North Pacific Fishery Management

Council under authority of the

Magnuson Fishery Conservation and

Management Act. Fishing by U.S.

vessels is governed by regulations

implementing the FMP at 50 CFR parts

620 and 675.

The Director, Alaska Region, NMFS,

has determined that the initial TACs

specified for pollock, Greenland turbot,

and Pacific ocean perch (POP) in the

Bering Sea (BS) subarea; for pollock,

Greenland turbot, POP, and sharpchin/

northern rockfish in the Aleutian

Islands (AI) subarea; for Atka mackerel

in the combined Eastern Aleutian

District and BS subarea; for Atka

mackerel in the Central and Western

Aleutian Districts; and for Pacific cod,

arrowtooth flounder, and the ‘‘other

species’’ category in the BSAI; need to

be supplemented from the non-specific

reserve in order to continue operations

and account for prior harvest.

Therefore, in accordance with

§ 675.20(b), NMFS proposes to

apportion from the reserve to TACs for

the following species: (1) For the Bering

Sea subarea —93,750 metric tons (mt) to

pollock, 700 mt to Greenland turbot,

and 277 mt to POP; (2) for the AI

subarea—4,245 mt to pollock, 350 mt to

Greenland turbot, 1,575 mt to POP; and

765 mt to sharpchin/northern rockfish;

(3) for the combined Eastern Aleutian

District and BS subarea—2,025 mt to

Atka mackerel; (4) for the Central

Aleutian District—7,500 mt to Atka

mackerel; (5) for the Western Aleutian

District—2,475 mt to Atka mackerel;

and (6) for the BSAI—37,500 mt to

Pacific cod, 1,534 mt to arrowtooth

flounder, and 3,000 mt to the ‘‘other

species’’ category.

These proposed apportionments are

consistent with § 675.20(a)(2)(i) and do

not result in overfishing of a target

species or the ‘‘other species’’ category,

because the revised TACs are equal to

or less than specifications of acceptable

biological catch.

Pursuant to § 675.20(a)(3)(i) the

proposed apportionments of pollock are

allocated between the inshore and

offshore components: (1) For the BS

subarea - 32,812 mt to vessels catching

pollock for processing by the inshore

component and 60,938 mt to vessels

catching pollock for processing by the

offshore component; (2) for the AI

subarea—1,486 mt to vessels catching

pollock for processing by the inshore

component and 2,759 to vessels

catching pollock for processing by the

offshore component.

Pursuant to § 675.20(a)(3)(iv) the

proposed apportionment of the BSAI

Pacific cod TAC is allocated 750 mt to

vessels using jig gear, 16,500 mt to

vessels using hook-and-line or pot gear,

and 20,250 mt to vessels using trawl

gear.

In accordance with the 1995 final

specifications for the BSAI (FR 60 8479,

February 14, 1995) the allocation of

Pacific cod to hook-and-line/pot gear

will result in seasonal apportionments

as follows: For the period January 1

through April 30—80,300 mt, for the

period May 1 through August 31—

20,900 mt, and for the period September

1 through December 31—8,800 mt.

Classification

This action is taken under 50 CFR

675.20 and is exempt from review under

E.O. 12866.
