[Docket No. 950203035–5091–02; I.D.

RIN 0648–AH44

Snapper-Grouper Fishery Off the

Southern Atlantic States; Hogfish,

Cubera Snapper, Gray Triggerfish

Regulatory Amendment

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

framework procedure for adjusting

management measures of the Fishery

Management Plan for the SnapperGrouper Fishery of the South Atlantic

Region (FMP), NMFS establishes a daily

recreational bag limit of five hogfish per

person; limits the harvest and

possession of cubera snapper measuring

30 inches (76.2 cm) in total length, or

larger, to 2 per day; and establishes a

minimum size limit for gray triggerfish

of 12 inches (30.5 cm), total length.

These measures apply only in the

exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off the

Atlantic coast of Florida. The intended

effects of this rule are to rebuild the

snapper-grouper resources and enhance

enforcement.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 22, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Peter J. Eldridge, 813–570–5305.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Snappergrouper species in the Atlantic Ocean

off the southern Atlantic states are

managed under the FMP. The FMP was

prepared by the South Atlantic Fishery

Management Council (Council) and is

implemented through regulations at 50

CFR part 646 under the authority of the

Magnuson Fishery Conservation and

Management Act.

In accordance with the framework

procedure of the FMP, the Council

recommended and NMFS published a

proposed rule to change the

management measures applicable to

certain snapper-grouper species in the

EEZ off the Atlantic coast of Florida (60

FR 8620, February 15, 1995). That

proposed rule specified the

recommended changes and described

the need and rationale for the

recommended changes. Those

descriptions are not repeated here.

No comments were received on the

proposed rule. Accordingly, the

proposed rule is adopted as final with

one change. As a technical change, the

title ‘‘Secretary’’ is revised to read

‘‘Assistant Administrator’’ where it

appears in the snapper-grouper

regulations. ‘‘Secretary’’ and ‘‘Assistant

Administrator’’ are defined at 50 CFR

620.2 to mean ‘‘the Secretary of

Commerce, or a designee’’ and ‘‘the

Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,

NOAA, or a designee,’’ respectively.

This change more clearly specifies the

responsible official.

Classification

This final rule has been determined to

be not significant for purposes of E.O.

12866.

The Assistant General Counsel for

Legislation and Regulation of the

Department of Commerce certified to

the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the

Small Business Administration when

this rule was proposed that it would not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities.

The reasons were summarized in the

preamble to the proposed rule (60 FR

8620, February 15, 1995). As a result, a

regulatory flexibility analysis was not

prepared.
