from the final rule with regard to final 

assembly requirements for rolling stock.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An 

inadvertent error occurred in the 

drafting of the final rule. In the Second 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(SNPRM) (71 FR 69412, Nov. 30, 2006), 

FTA proposed a new Appendix D to 

part 661 to amend the final assembly 

requirements for rolling stock. In the 

preamble to the final rule (72 FR 53688, 

Sept. 20, 2007), FTA announced that it 

was withdrawing the proposed language 

in the SNPRM and would instead 

continue to implement the terms of the 

March 18, 1997, Dear Colleague letter, 

with a few minor additions to reflect 

industry practices that have taken effect 

after the 1997 Dear Colleague letter was 

issued. In the process of drafting the 

final rule, text that was discussed in the 

preamble was not included in the final 

rule. 

Accordingly, this document will 

correct that omission by removing the 

erroneous text in the September 20, 

2007, final rule and replacing it with the 

correct text.

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of

Region; Closure 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS closes the commercial 

fishery for golden tilefish in the 

exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the 

South Atlantic. This closure is 

necessary to protect the golden tilefish 

resource. 

DATES: The closure is effective 12 noon, 

local time, October 3, 2007, through 

December 31, 2007.

Susan Gerhart, 727–824–5305, fax: 727–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

snapper-grouper fishery is managed 

under the Fishery Management Plan for 

the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the 

South Atlantic Region (FMP). The FMP 

was prepared by the South Atlantic 

Fishery Management Council (Council) 

and is implemented under the authority 

of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act) by regulations 

at 50 CFR part 622. 

The commercial fishery for South 

Atlantic golden tilefish is managed 

under a commercial quota of 295,000 lb 

(133,810 kg), as specified in 50 CFR 

622.42(e)(2), for the current fishing year, 

January 1 through December 31, 2007. 

Under 50 CFR 622.43(a), NMFS is 

required to close the golden tilefish 

commercial fishery when its quota has 

been reached, or is projected to be 

reached, by filing a notification at the 

Office of the Federal Register. NMFS 

has determined the commercial quota of 

295,000 lb (133,810 kg) for golden 

tilefish in the South Atlantic will be 

reached by October 3, 2007. 

Accordingly, the commercial fishery for 

South Atlantic golden tilefish is closed 

effective 12 noon, local time, October 3, 

2007, through December 31, 2007, the 

end of the fishing year. The operator of 

a vessel with a valid commercial vessel 

permit for South Atlantic snappergrouper having golden tilefish aboard 

must have landed and bartered, traded, 

or sold such golden tilefish prior to 12 

noon, local time, October 3, 2007. 

During the closure, the appropriate 

bag limits specified in 50 CFR 

622.39(d)(1) and the applicable 

possession limits specified in 50 CFR 

622.39(d)(2) apply to all harvest or 

possession of golden tilefish in or from 

the South Atlantic EEZ, and the sale or 

purchase of golden tilefish taken from 

the EEZ is prohibited. The prohibition 

on sale or purchase does not apply to 

sale or purchase of golden tilefish that 

were harvested, landed ashore, and sold 

prior to 12 noon, local time, October 3, 

2007, and were held in cold storage by 

a dealer or processor. 

Classification 

This action responds to the best 

available information recently obtained 

from the fisheries. The Assistant 

Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA, 

finds that the need to immediately 

implement this action to close the 

fishery constitutes good cause to waive 

the requirements to provide prior notice 

and opportunity for public comment 

pursuant to the authority set forth in 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), as such procedures 

would be unnecessary and contrary to 

the public interest. Such procedures 

would be unnecessary because the rule 

itself already has been subject to notice 

and comment, and all that remains is to 

notify the public of the closure. 

NMFS also finds good cause that the 

implementation of this action cannot be 

delayed for 30 days. There is a need to 

implement this measure in a timely 

fashion to prevent an overrun of the 

commercial quota of South Atlantic 

golden tilefish, given the capacity of the 

fishing fleet to harvest the quota 

quickly. Any delay in implementing this 

action would be contrary to the 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
55104 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 188 / Friday, September 28, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

Magnuson-Stevens Act and the FMP. 

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

delay in the effective date is waived. 

This action is taken under 50 CFR 

622.43(a) and is exempt from review 

under Executive Order 12866.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic

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. 

NMFS prohibited directed fishing for 

pollock in Statistical Area 630 in the 

GOA under § 679.20(d)(1)(iii) on August 

28, 2007 (72 FR 48946, August 27, 

2007). NMFS reopened the pollock 

fishery in Statistical Area 630 in the 

GOA for 72 hours on September 15, 

2007 (72 FR 53169, September 18, 

2007). NMFS reopened the pollock 

fishery in Statistical Area 630 in the 

GOA for 48 hours on September 21, 

2007. NMFS prohibited directed fishing 

for pollock on September 23, 2007. 

NMFS has determined that as of 

September 24, 2007 approximately 

1,590 mt remain in the C season 

allowance of the 2007 pollock directed 

fishing allowance in Statistical Area 630 

in the GOA. Therefore, in accordance 

with § 679.25(a)(1)(i), (a)(2)(i)(C) and 

(a)(2)(iii)(D), and to fully utilize the C 

season allowance of the 2007 TAC of 

pollock in Statistical Area 630 in the 

GOA, NMFS is terminating the previous 

closure and is reopening directed 

fishing for pollock in Statistical Area 

630 in the GOA. 

Classification 

This action responds to the best 

available information recently obtained 

from the fishery. The Assistant 

Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA 

(AA), finds good cause to waive the 

requirement to provide prior notice and 

opportunity for public comment 

pursuant to the authority set forth at 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as such requirement is 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest. This requirement is 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest as it would prevent NMFS from 

responding to the most recent fisheries 

data in a timely fashion and would 

delay the opening of pollock in 

Statistical Area 630 in the GOA. NMFS 

was unable to publish a notice 

providing time for public comment 

because the most recent, relevant data 

only became available as of September 

24, 2007. 

The AA also finds good cause to 

waive the 30-day delay in the effective 

date of this action under 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3). This finding is based upon 

the reasons provided above for waiver of 

prior notice and opportunity for public 

comment. 

Without this inseason adjustment, 

NMFS could not allow the fishery for 

pollock in Statistical Area 630 in the 

GOA to be harvested in an expedient 

manner and in accordance with the 

regulatory schedule. Under 

§ 679.25(c)(2), interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

this action (see ADDRESSES) until 

October 10, 2007. 

This action is required by § 679.25 

and § 679.20 and is exempt from review 

under Executive Order 12866. 

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

Dated: September 25, 2007.
