selection of this alternative is

inconsistent with law.

Because the rule proposed here is

expected to result in the expenditure by

state, local, and tribal governments or

the private sector of less than $100

million in any one year, EPA has not

prepared a budgetary impact statement

or specifically addressed selection of the

least costly, most cost-effective or least

burdensome alternative. Because small

governments will not be significantly or

uniquely affected by this rule, EPA is

not required to develop a plan with

regard to small governments.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. 601) requires EPA to consider

potential impacts of proposed

regulations on small business. If a

preliminary analysis indicates that a

proposed regulation would have a

significant adverse economic impact on

a substantial number of small business

entities, a regulatory flexibility analysis

must be prepared.

This rule decreases the stringency of

the CO exhaust emission standard for

Class I and II nonhandheld engines,

thereby potentially creating beneficial

effects on small businesses by easing

one provision required of small engine

manufacturers by the Phase 1 small SI

engine regulations. As a result, EPA

certifies that this rulemaking will not

have a significant adverse effect on a

substantial number of small entities.

Consequently, EPA has not prepared a

regulatory flexibility analysis for this

rule.

Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources

of the Gulf of Mexico and South

Atlantic; Changes in Catch Limits

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

framework procedure for adjusting

management measures of the Fishery

Management Plan for the Coastal

Migratory Pelagic Resources of the Gulf

of Mexico and South Atlantic (FMP),

NMFS proposes commercial vessel trip

limits for the Atlantic migratory group

of king mackerel. The intended effects

of this rule are to preclude an early

closure of the commercial fishery,

protect king mackerel from overfishing,

and maintain healthy stocks while still

allowing catches by important

commercial fisheries.

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before July 18, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments must be mailed

to Mark F. Godcharles, Southeast

Region, National Marine Fisheries

Service, 9721 Executive Center Drive N.,

Send requests for copies of the

regulatory amendment document (dated

February 1996), which include the

environmental assessment and

regulatory impact review for this action,

to the South Atlantic Fishery

Management Council, Southpark

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mark F. Godcharles, 813–570–5305.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

fisheries for coastal migratory pelagic

resources are regulated under the FMP.

The FMP was prepared jointly by the

Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic

Fishery Management Councils and is

implemented by regulations at 50 CFR

part 642.

In accordance with the framework

procedures of the FMP, the South

Atlantic Council (Council)

recommended to the Director, Southeast

Region, NMFS (Regional Director), a

regulatory amendment, which, among

other changes, included establishment

of commercial vessel trip limits for the

Atlantic migratory group of king

mackerel. These vessel trip limits were

included in a proposed rule published

on August 3, 1995 (60 FR 39698). A

final decision by NMFS on whether the

trip limits were consistent with the

National Standards of the Magnuson

Fishery Conservation and Management

Act (Magnuson Act) was deferred, and

the reasons for the deferral were

published in the final rule

implementing the approved measures of

the regulatory amendment (60 FR 5768,

November 17, 1995). The Council

revised the proposed trip limits to

address cited deficiencies, took

additional public comment, and

resubmitted a supplemented regulatory

amendment for NMFS’ review and

approval.

The Council proposes daily trip limits

for vessels harvesting under the

commercial allocation for Atlantic

group king mackerel. This segment of

the fishery has not been subject to trip

limits. As revised, the daily possession/

landing limit for a vessel using nonprohibited gear and having a Federal

commercial mackerel permit would be

3,500 lb (1,588 kg) of king mackerel in

or from the exclusive economic zone

(EEZ) year-round in the northern area

(i.e., between the New York/Connecticut

and Flagler/Volusia County, FL

boundaries). Off Volusia County, FL, the

daily trip limit would be 3,500 lb (1,588

kg) of king mackerel in or from the EEZ

from April 1 through October 31. South

of there, between the Volusia/Brevard

and Dade/Monroe County boundaries,

the daily trip limit would be 500 lb (227
