Offers should be evaluated in

price using cost or price analysis and

document the lease file to demonstrate

that the proposed rental represents a fair

market price. In cases where the total

cost exceeds $500,000 cost or pricing

data must be obtained unless the

requirement is waived or one of the

exemptions at (FAR) 48 CFR 15.804–2

applies. The market price exemption

from submission of cost or pricing data

may be applied to proposed leases

where there is evidence that the price is

based on an established market price for

similar space leased to the general

public. A market survey and/or

appraisal conducted in accordance with

accepted real property appraisal

procedures may be used as evidence to

establish the market price. An

acceptable small business

subcontracting plan must be provided if

the lease will exceed $500,000, unless

the lease will be awarded to a small

business concern. Negotiations, if

applicable, should be conducted in

accordance with 570.205. For leases

expected to exceed $100,000, a

Certificate of Procurement Integrity

must be provided to the proposed

successful offeror for completion and

submission before award. The

contracting officer should review the

List of Parties Excluded from

Procurement or Nonprocurement

Programs, to ensure the proposed

awardee is eligible to receive the award

and is otherwise responsible before

awarding the lease.

50 CFR Part 641

[Docket No. 94113–4354; I.D. 041195D]

Reef Fish Fishery of the Gulf of

Mexico; Closure of the Commercial

Red Snapper Component

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Closure.

SUMMARY: NMFS closes the commercial

fishery for red snapper in the exclusive

economic zone (EEZ) of the Gulf of

Mexico. NMFS has projected that the

annual commercial quota for red

snapper will be reached on April 14,

1995. This closure is necessary to

protect the red snapper resource.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Closure is effective

12:01 a.m., local time, April 15, 1995,

through December 31, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert Sadler, 813–570–5305.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The reef

fish fishery of the Gulf of Mexico is

managed under the Fishery

Management Plan for the Reef Fish

Resources 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 641 under the authority

of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation

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

seq.). Those regulations set the

commercial quota for red snapper in the

Gulf of Mexico at 3.06 million lb (1.39

million kg) for the current fishing year,

January 1 through December 31, 1995.

Under 50 CFR 641.26, NMFS is

required to close the commercial fishery

for a species or species group when the

quota for that species or species group

is reached, or is projected to be reached,

by publishing a notification to that

effect in the Federal Register. Based on

current statistics, NMFS has projected

that the commercial quota of 3.06

million lb (1.39 million kg) for red

snapper will be reached on April 14,

1995. Accordingly, the commercial

fishery in the EEZ in the Gulf of Mexico

for red snapper is closed effective 12:01

a.m., local time, April 15, 1995, through

December 31, 1995, the end of the

fishing year. A vessel with a valid reef

fish permit having red snapper on board

must land and barter, trade, or sell such

red snapper prior to 12:01 a.m., local

time, April 15, 1995.

During the closure, the bag limit

applies to all harvests of red snapper

from the EEZ in the Gulf of Mexico. The

daily bag limit for red snapper is five

per person. From 12:01 a.m., local time,

April 15, 1995, through December 31,

1995, the purchase, barter, trade, or sale

of red snapper taken from the EEZ is

prohibited. This prohibition does not

apply to trade in red snapper that were

harvested, landed, and bartered, traded,

or sold prior to 12:01 a.m., local time,

April 15, 1995, and were held in cold

storage by a dealer or processor.

Classification

This action is taken under 50 CFR

641.26 and is exempt from review under

E.O. 12866.

Dated: April 12, 1995.

Acting Director, Office of Fisheries

Conservation and Management, National

Marine Fisheries Service.
