Light Truck Average Fuel Economy

Standard, Model Year 1998

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA).

ACTION: Delay of effective date.

SUMMARY: This notice delays the

effective date of the final rule on light

truck fuel economy, in accordance with

legislation concerning Congressional

review of regulations.

DATES: Effective May 3, 1996, the

effectiveness of the rule published on

April 3, 1996 at 61 FR 14680 is

suspended from May 3, 1996 through

June 21, 1996. The effective date of the

rule is June 22, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Otto Matheke, III, Office of Chief

Counsel, National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration, 400 Seventh

Street SW., Washington, DC 20590

(202–366–5263).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April

3, 1996, NHTSA published a final rule

(61 FR 14680) establishing the corporate

average fuel economy standard for light

trucks for model year 1998. Consistent

with agency practice, the effective date

was May 3, 1996, 30 days after

publication in the Federal Register.

However, new provisions concerning

Congressional review of regulations

were enacted on March 29, 1996, as

Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States

Code (P.L. 104–121).

Section 801(a) of Title 5 provides that

a major rule, such as the light truck

CAFE rule, is to be effective 60 days

after publication in the Federal Register

or 60 days after submission of the rule

to Congress for review, whichever is

later, unless the Congress passes a

resolution disapproving the rule. The

light truck CAFE rule was submitted to

Congress on April 22, 1996. The agency

accordingly is delaying the effectiveness

of the rule until June 22, 1996, 60 days

after it was submitted to Congress.

Issued on: May 13, 1996.

Associate Administrator for Safety

Groundfish of the Bering Sea and

Aleutian Islands Area; Pacific Ocean

Perch in the Western Aleutian District

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Closure.

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting retention

of Pacific ocean perch in the Western

Aleutian District of the Bering Sea and

Aleutian Islands management area

(BSAI). NMFS is requiring that catches

of Pacific ocean perch in the Western

Aleutian District be treated in the same

manner as prohibited species and

discarded at sea with a minimum of

injury. This action is necessary because

the Pacific ocean perch total allowable

catch (TAC) in the Western Aleutian

District has been caught.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 12 noon, Alaska local

time (A.l.t.), May 19, 1996, until 12

midnight A.l.t., December 31, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mary Furuness, 907–586-7228.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

groundfish fishery in the BSAI exclusive

economic zone is managed by the NMFS

according to the Fishery Management

Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area

(FMP) prepared by the North Pacific

Fishery Management Council under

authority of the Magnuson Fishery

Conservation and Management Act.

Fishing by U.S. vessels is governed by

regulations implementing the FMP at 50

CFR parts 620 and 675.

In accordance with § 675.20 (a)(7)(ii),

the Pacific ocean perch TAC for the

Western Aleutian District was

established by the Final 1996 Harvest

Specifications of Groundfish (61 FR

4311, February 5, 1996), and increased

by an apportionment from the reserve

(61 FR 16085, April 11, 1996) to 6,050

metric tons (mt).

The Director, Alaska Region, NMFS,

has determined, in accordance with

§ 675.20(a)(9), that the TAC for Pacific

ocean perch in the Western Aleutian

District has been reached. Therefore,

NMFS is requiring that further catches

of Pacific ocean perch in the Western

Aleutian District be treated as

prohibited species in accordance with

§ 675.20(c)(3).

Classification

This action is taken under 50 CFR

675.20 and is exempt from review under

E.O. 12866.

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

Dated: May 16, 1996.

Acting Director, Office of Fisheries

Conservation and Management, National

Marine Fisheries Service.
