SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Responsibility for the Department’s

commercial space transportation

program is being transferred from the

Office of the Secretary to the Federal

Aviation Administration. This rule

amends the delegations to reflect the

transfer.

Since this rule relates to departmental

management, organization, procedure,

and practice, notice and public

comment are unnecessary. For the same

reason, good cause exists for not

publishing this rule at least 30 days

before its effective date, as is ordinarily

required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d). Because the

date of the transfer of responsibility for

the commercial space transportation

program is November 16, 1995, that is

the effective date of this rule.

Coral and Coral Reefs of the Gulf of

Mexico; Wild Live Rock Fishery

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Closure.

SUMMARY: NMFS closes the fishery for

wild live rock in the exclusive economic

zone (EEZ) of the Gulf of Mexico. This

action is necessary to prevent exceeding

the quota for 1995.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective 12:01 a.m.,

December 5, 1995 through December 31,

1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Georgia Cranmore, 813-570-5305.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Live rock

in the EEZ is managed under the

Fishery Management Plan for Coral and

Coral Reefs of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP).

The FMP was prepared by the Gulf of

Mexico Fishery Management Council

and is implemented through regulations

at 50 CFR part 638 under the authority

of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation

and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et

seq.).

Section 638.26(d)(1) established a

quota of 500,000 lb (226,796 kg) for the

fishing year that began January 1, 1995.

Section 638.26(d)(2) requires the

Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,

NOAA (AA), to close the wild live rock

fishery in the Gulf EEZ when the quota

is reached, or is projected to be reached.

The AA has determined that the quota

will be reached on December 4, 1995.

Accordingly, the wild live rock fishery

in the Gulf EEZ is closed effective 12:01

a.m., local time, December 5, 1995, and
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 235 / Thursday, December 7, 1995 / Rules and Regulations 62763

will not reopen until January 1, 1996.

During the closure, wild live rock may

not be harvested or possessed in the

Gulf EEZ, and the purchase, barter,

trade, or sale of wild live rock in or from

the Gulf EEZ is prohibited. The latter

prohibition does not apply to wild live

rock that was harvested prior to

December 5, 1995.

Classification

This action is required by 50 CFR

638.26(d) and is exempt from review

under E.O. 12866.

Dated: December 1, 1995.
