SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

This proposed rule reinforces 

requirements for use and maintenance 

of accurate contractor information, to 

permit proper identification and 

tracking of contract data through DoD’s 

business processes. The proposed 

changes address requirements for— 

• Ensuring that contract documents 

contain contractor information that is 

accurate and consistent with the 

information in the CCR database; 

• Confirming the accuracy of a 

contractor’s CCR information before 

exercising a contract option; and 

• Proper assignment of procurement 

instrument identification numbers. 

This rule was subject to Office of 

Management and Budget review under 

Executive Order 12866, dated 

September 30, 1993. 

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

DoD does not expect this proposed 

rule to have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities within the meaning of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, 

et seq., because the proposed rule 

reinforces existing requirements for 

accuracy of contract information. 

Therefore, DoD has not performed an 

initial regulatory flexibility analysis. 

DoD invites comments from small 

businesses and other interested parties. 

DoD also will consider comments from 

small entities concerning the affected 

DFARS subparts in accordance with 5 

U.S.C. 610. Such comments should be 

submitted separately and should cite 

DFARS Case 2008–D010. 

C. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act does 

not apply, because the proposed rule 

does not impose any information 

collection requirements that require the 

approval of the Office of Management 

and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et 

seq.

document— 

(i) Confirm the accuracy of the 

information in the CCR database; and 

(ii)(A) If the information in the CCR 

database is current, accurate, and

has updated its registration information. 

(2) On contract award documents, use 

the contractor’s legal or ‘‘doing business 

as’’ name and address information as 

recorded in the CCR database at the time 

of award. Modifications for novations, 

name changes, or address changes shall 

reflect the information recorded in the 

CCR database at the time the 

modification is issued. See PGI

relating to use of information in the CCR 

database.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Revisions to the 

Pollock Trip Limit Regulations in the 

Gulf of Alaska 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS proposes to revise 

pollock trip limit regulations to prohibit 

a catcher vessel from landing more than 

300,000 lb (136 mt) of unprocessed 

pollock during a calendar day. NMFS 

also proposes to prohibit a catcher 

vessel from landing a cumulative 

amount of unprocessed pollock from 

any Gulf of Alaska (GOA) reporting area 

that exceeds 300,000 lb multiplied by 

the number of calendar days the pollock 

fishery is open to directed fishing in a 

season. The objective of this proposed 

rule is to prevent catcher vessels from 

circumventing the intent of current trip 

limit regulations when making 

deliveries of pollock. Amending the 

current trip limit regulation to limit 

legal opportunities for a vessel to exceed 

300,000 lb of pollock caught in a day, 

would continue to disperse catches of 

pollock in a manner that is consistent 

with the intent of Steller sea lion 

protection measures in the GOA.

received by November 19, 2008.
