[WT Docket No. 94–148, DA 95–140]

Terrestrial Microwave Fixed Radio

Services

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; extension of time.

SUMMARY: The Order provides

additional time to respond to the

revision of the Commission’s rules

regarding the establishment of a new

part for terrestrial microwave fixed

radio services. This action was in

response to a request from the

Telecommunications Industry

Association (TIA). It will allow ITA and

others to prepare better reponses to the

complex changes proposed to the

microwave rules.

DATES: Comments are due on or before

February 17, 1995 and reply comments

are due on or before March 17, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert James Federal Communications

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Order

Adopted: January 31, 1995.

Released: February 2, 1995.

By the Chief, Wireless

Telecommunications Bureau:

1. Before the Bureau is a request for

additional time within which to

respond to the Commission’s Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in WT

Docket No. 94–148, filed by Fixed Pointto-Point Communications Section,

Network Equipment Division of the

Telecommunications Industry

Association (TIA). In support of this

request, TIA states that the proposed

changes are complex. As the principal

industry association representing

microwave manufacturers, it needs time

to coordinate among its members to

ensure that the Association’s comments

reflect industry consensus.
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 36 / Thursday, February 23, 1995 / Rules and Regulations 10039

Additionally, it notes, the Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking was released

during the year-end holidays, which

reduced the amount of available time for

review.

2. For the foregoing reasons, It Is

Hereby Ordered that the time within

which to file comments in this

proceeding is extended to February 17,

1995 and the deadline for filing reply

comments is extended to March 17,

1995.

Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery;

Modification of Nontrawl Sablefish

Season

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Temporary rule.

SUMMARY: By a separate notice in the

Federal Register, NMFS will publish

proposed regulations that would

establish a new season structure for the

nontrawl sablefish component of the

Pacific Coast Groundfish (PCG) limited

entry fishery. The proposed new regular

season would begin at noon August 6

each year. Under the regulations

currently governing the fishery, the PCG

nontrawl sablefish regular season could

start as early as February 26, 1995,

preceded by a 72–hour closure

beginning on February 23. This early

season is unacceptable to the industry

for a number of reasons, particularly

safety, but also because at that time the

quality and market value of sablefish is

lower and there are alternative fishing

opportunities. Accordingly, NMFS is

temporarily amending the current

regulations to prevent the PCG nontrawl

sablefish regular season from opening

pending the completion of the abovementioned rulemaking to establish a

new season structure for the fishery.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective

from February 17, 1995, through

September 1, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Information relevant to this

temporary rule is available for public

review during business hours at the

Office of the Director, Northwest

Region, NMFS, 7600 Sand Point Way

NE., BIN C15700, Seattle, WA 98115–

0070; and at the Office of the Director,

Southwest Region, NMFS, 501 W.

Ocean Blvd., Suite 4200, Long Beach,

CA 90802–4213. Copies of the

Environmental Assessment/Regulatory

Impact Review (EA/RIR) can be

obtained from the Pacific Fishery

Management Council (Council), 2000

SW First Avenue, Suite 420, Portland,

OR 97201.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

William L. Robinson at 206–526–6140,

or Rodney R. McInnis at 310–980–4030.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

By a separate notice in the Federal

Register, NMFS, based on a

recommendation of the Council, will

propose regulations that would establish

a new season structure for the nontrawl

sablefish component of the PCG limited

entry fishery. The proposed new regular

season would begin at noon August 6

each year. Both the limited entry and

open-access fisheries would be required

to remove all nontrawl gear from the

water for the 72–hour period just prior

to the start of the regular season for the

limited entry fishery, except that baited

pot gear may be deployed 24 hours prior

to the start.

Under section IV.E.(3)(c) of the

current annual specifications for the

fishery, the limited entry sector of the

nontrawl sablefish fishery is subject to

a 300-lb (136 kg) daily trip limit when

N. of 36°00′00′′ N. lat. and a 350–lb (159

kg) daily trip limit when S. of 36°00′00′′

N. lat. (60 FR 2331, 2343, January 9,

1995). Under the current regulations (50

CFR 663.23(b)(2)(i)), the opening of the

PCG nontrawl sablefish regular season is

linked to the first nontrawl sablefish

season opening in the Gulf of Alaska

(GOA), which normally occurs in May.

Under the new GOA Individual Fishing

Quota (IFQ) program, which is governed

by 50 CFR part 676, the Alaska season

could start as early as March 1, 1995,

causing the PCG fishery to open on

February 26, 1995, preceded by a 72–

hour closure beginning on February 23.

This early season is unacceptable to the

industry for a number of reasons,

particularly safety, but also because at

that time the quality and market value

of sablefish is lower and there are

alternative fishing opportunities.

Accordingly, NMFS is temporarily

amending the current regulations to

prevent the PCG nontrawl sablefish

regular season from opening pending

the completion of the above-mentioned

rulemaking to establish a new season

structure for the fishery.

Classification

The Assistant Administrator for

Fisheries, NOAA, (AA), has determined

that this temporary rule is consistent

with the Pacific Coast Groundfish

Fishery Management Plan, the

Magnuson Fishery Conservation and

Management Act, and other applicable

law.

This temporary rule has been

determined to be not significant for the

purposes of E.O. 12866.

The Council prepared an

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the

proposed establishment of a new season

structure for the nontrawl sablefish

component of the PCG limited entry

fishery.

On the basis of the EA, the AA

concluded that there would be no

significant impact on the environment.

NMFS is taking this action under the

abbreviated rulemaking authority of the

FMP (see 50 CFR part 663, Appendix

III.B.3). This action and the proposed

establishment of a new season structure

was discussed, and was subject to

public comment and scrutiny during

Council meetings in August and

October, 1994. The date the season

would have opened under the existing

rule is still uncertain, but the opening

is tied to the opening date of the

nontrawl sablefish season in the GOA

and would probably be February 26. A

late February opening is not desirable

for several reasons, including

potentially unsafe fishing conditions

due to rough winter weather along

much of the coast.

Accordingly, the AA has determined

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) that it is

unnecessary and contrary to the public

interest to provide prior notice in the

Federal Register and to provide an

opportunity for public comment on

preventing the PCG nontrawl sablefish

regular season from opening pending

the completion of the above mentioned

rulemaking to establish a new season

structure for the fishery.

For the same reasons, the AA also

finds good cause under 5 U.S.C.
