(3) A Participating CMS Provider may 

forego an RMT if the RMT is pre-empted 

by actual alert traffic or if an unforeseen 

condition in the CMS Provider 

infrastructure precludes distribution of 

the RMT. A Participating CMS Provider 

Gateway shall indicate such an 

unforeseen condition by a response 

code to the Federal Alert Gateway. 

(4) The RMT shall be initiated only by 

the Federal Alert Gateway 

Administrator using a defined test 

message. Real event codes or alert 

messages shall not be used for the 

CMAS RMT message. 

(5) A Participating CMS Provider shall 

distribute an RMT within its CMAS 

coverage area within 24 hours of receipt 

by the CMS Provider Gateway unless 

pre-empted by actual alert traffic or 

unable due to an unforeseen condition. 

(6) A Participating CMS Provider may 

provide mobile devices with the 

capability of receiving RMT messages. 

(7) A Participating CMS Provider 

must retain an automated log of RMT 

messages received by the CMS Provider 

Gateway from the Federal Alert 

Gateway. 

(b) Periodic C Interface Testing. In 

addition to the required monthly tests, 

a Participating CMS Provider must 

participate in periodic testing of the 

interface between the Federal Alert 

Gateway and its CMS Provider Gateway. 

This periodic interface testing is not 

intended to test the CMS Provider’s 

infrastructure nor the mobile devices 

but rather is required to ensure the 

availability/viability of both gateway 

functions. Each CMS Provider Gateway 

shall send an acknowledgement to the 

Federal Alert Gateway upon receipt of 

such an interface test message. Real 

event codes or alert messages shall not 

be used for this periodic interface 

testing.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Reallocation of Atka 

Mackerel in the Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Islands Management Area; 

Correction 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: On July 30, 2008, NMFS 

published a revised Table 4 that 

reallocated Atka mackerel from the 2008 

incidental catch allowance to the B 

season allowance for the Amendment 80 

cooperative in the Eastern Aleutian 

District and the Bering Sea subarea of 

the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

management area (BSAI). Table 4 of that 

document contains the final 2008 and 

2009 BSAI Atka mackerel allocations. 

That table contained inadvertent 

calculation errors that are corrected in 

this rule. 

DATES: Effective August 14, 2008, 

through 2400 hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 

2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mary Furuness, 907–586–7228. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal 

regulations at 50 CFR part 679 

implement the Fishery Management 

Plan (FMP) and govern the groundfish 

fisheries in the BSAI. The North Pacific 

Fishery Management Council (Council) 

prepared the FMP, and NMFS approved 

it under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act). General 

regulations governing U.S. fisheries also 

appear at 50 CFR part 600. 

On July 30, 2008 (73 FR 44173) NMFS 

published a revised Table 4 that 

reallocated Atka mackerel from the 2008 

incidental catch allowance to the B 

season allowance for the Amendment 80 

cooperative in the Eastern Aleutian 

District and the Bering Sea subarea of 

the BSAI. However, NMFS 

inadvertently miscalculated the 2008 

Amendment 80 Cooperatives total 

amount as 8,804 metric tons (mt) 

instead of 8,683 mt and A season 

amount as 3,812 mt instead of 3,691 mt. 

NMFS also inadvertently miscalculated 

the 2009 Amendment 80 sectors 

amounts in the Eastern Aleutian District 

and Bering Sea area and the Central 

Aleutian District. This document 

corrects the errors and republishes 

Table 4 in its entirety. 

Correction 

Accordingly, the revised Table 4 from 

the temporary rule (FR Doc. E8–17466) 

published on July 30, 2008, at 73 FR 

44173, is corrected as follows: 

On page 44174, Table 4, is corrected 

and republished in its entirety to read 

as follows:

1Section 679.20(a)(8)(ii) allocates the Atka mackerel TACs, after subtraction of the CDQ reserves, jig gear allocation, and ICAs, to the Amendment 80 and BSAI trawl limited access sectors. The allocation of the ITAC for Atka mackerel to the Amendment 80 and BSAI trawl limited access sectors is established in Table 33 to part 679 and § 679.91. The CDQ reserve is 10.7 percent of the TAC for use by CDQ participants (see 

§§ 679.20(b)(1)(ii)(C) and 679.31). 

2Regulations at §§ 679.20(a)(8)(ii)(A) and 679.22(a) establish temporal and spatial limitations for the Atka mackerel fishery. The A season is 

January 1 (January 20 for trawl gear) to April 15 and the B season is September 1 to November 1. 3The seasonal allowances of Atka mackerel are 50 percent in the A season and 50 percent in the B season. 

4Harvest Limit Area (HLA) limit refers to the amount of each seasonal allowance that is available for fishing inside the HLA (see § 679.2). In 

2008 and 2009, 60 percent of each seasonal allowance is available for fishing inside the HLA in the Western and Central Aleutian Districts. 5Section 679.20(a)(8)(i) requires that up to 2 percent of the Eastern Aleutian District and the Bering Sea subarea TAC be allocated to jig gear 

after subtraction of the CDQ reserve and ICA. The amount of this allocation is 0.5 percent. The jig gear allocation is not apportioned by season.
