[Docket No. USCG–2012–0208] 

RIN 1625–AB62 

Offshore Supply Vessels of at Least 

6,000 GT ITC 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Interim rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard published an 

interim rule in the Federal Register on 

August 18, 2014, to ensure the safe 

carriage of oil, hazardous substances, 

and individuals in addition to the crew 

on U.S.-flagged OSVs of at least 6,000 

gross tonnage as measured under the 

Convention Measurement System. In 

that interim rule, we revised a 

paragraph listing consensus standards 

incorporated by reference. In doing so, 

we inadvertently duplicated two 

paragraphs and presented others out of 

order. This correction resolves that error 

by removing the doubled paragraphs 

and reordering the others. 

DATES: This correction is effective on 

October 17, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions on this final rule, 

call or email Justin Staples, Office of 

Standards Evaluation and Development, 

Coast Guard; telephone 202–372–1483,

have questions on viewing material on 

the docket, call Cheryl Collins, Program 

Manager, Docket Operations, telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

18, 2014, the Coast Guard published an 

interim rule to ensure the safe carriage 

of oil, hazardous substances, and 

individuals in addition to the crew on 

U.S.-flagged OSVs of at least 6,000 gross 

tonnage as measured under the 

Convention Measurement System. 79 FR 

48894. 

In that rule, the Coast Guard revised 

46 CFR 125.180 to include a number of 

new standards to be incorporated by 

reference. In the process, we 

inadvertently duplicated two 

paragraphs listing standards published 

by the National Fire Protection 

Association (NFPA). In addition, the 

standards had originally appeared in 

order of the year those particular 

editions of the standards were 

published. We intended to reorganize 

them by identification number instead, 

but left some of them out of order. This 

correction deletes the redundant 

paragraphs and correctly orders the 

remaining ones.

Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources 

of the Gulf of Mexico and South 

Atlantic; 2014–2015 Accountability 

Measure and Closure for Gulf King 

Mackerel in Western Zone 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS implements an 

accountability measure (AM) for 

commercial king mackerel in the 

western zone of the Gulf of Mexico 

(Gulf) exclusive economic zone (EEZ) 

through this temporary final rule. NMFS 

has determined that the commercial 

quota for king mackerel in the western 

zone of the Gulf EEZ will have been 

reached by October 17, 2014. Therefore, 

NMFS closes the western zone of the 

Gulf to commercial king mackerel 

fishing in the EEZ. This closure is 

necessary to protect the Gulf king 

mackerel resource. 

DATES: The closure is effective noon, 

local time, October 17, 2014, until 12:01 

a.m., local time, on July 1, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

fishery for coastal migratory pelagic fish 

(king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and 

cobia) is managed under the Fishery 

Management Plan for the Coastal 

Migratory Pelagic Resources of the Gulf 

of Mexico and South Atlantic (FMP). 

The FMP was prepared by the Gulf of 

Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery 

Management Councils (Councils) and is 

implemented under the authority of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act) by regulations 

at 50 CFR part 622. 

The commercial quota for the Gulf 

migratory group king mackerel in the 

western zone is 1,071,360 lb (485,961 

kg) (76 FR 82058, December 29, 2011), 

for the current fishing year, July 1, 2014, 

through June 30, 2015. 

Regulations at 50 CFR 622.388(a)(1) 

require NMFS to close the commercial 

sector for Gulf migratory group king 

mackerel in the western zone when the 

quota is reached, or is projected to be 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 201 / Friday, October 17, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 62359 

reached, by filing a notification to that 

effect with the Office of the Federal 

Register. Based on the best scientific 

information available, NMFS has 

determined the commercial quota of 

1,071,360 lb (485,961 kg) for Gulf 

migratory group king mackerel in the 

western zone will be reached by October 

17, 2014. Accordingly, the western zone 

is closed to commercial fishing for Gulf 

migratory group king mackerel effective 

noon, local time, October 17, 2014, 

through June 30, 2015, the end of the 

fishing year. The Gulf migratory group 

king mackerel western zone is that part 

of the EEZ between a line extending east 

from the border of the United States and 

Mexico and 87°31.1′ W. longitude, 

which is a line directly south from the 

state boundary of Alabama and Florida. 

Except for a person aboard a charter 

vessel or headboat, during the closure, 

no person aboard a vessel for which a 

commercial permit for king mackerel 

has been issued may fish for or retain 

Gulf migratory group king mackerel in 

the EEZ in the closed zone (50 CFR 

622.384(e)(1)). A person aboard a vessel 

that has a valid charter vessel/headboat 

permit for coastal migratory pelagic fish 

may continue to retain king mackerel in 

or from the closed zones or subzones 

under the bag and possession limits set 

forth in 50 CFR 622.382(a)(1)(ii) and 

(a)(2), provided the vessel is operating 

as a charter vessel or headboat (50 CER 

622.384(e)(2)). A charter vessel or 

headboat that also has a commercial 

king mackerel permit is considered to be 

operating as a charter vessel or headboat 

when it carries a passenger who pays a 

fee or when there are more than three 

persons aboard, including operator and 

crew. 

During the closure, king mackerel 

from the closed zone, including those 

harvested under the bag and possession 

limits, may not be purchased or sold. 

This prohibition does not apply to trade 

in king mackerel from the closed zone 

that were harvested, landed ashore, and 

sold prior to the closure and were held 

in cold storage by a dealer or processor 

(50 CFR 622.384(e)(3)). 

Classification 

The Regional Administrator, 

Southeast Region, NMFS, has 

determined this temporary rule is 

necessary for the conservation and 

management of Gulf migratory group 

king mackerel and is consistent with the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act and other 

applicable laws. 

This action is taken under 50 CFR 

622.388(a)(1) and 622.384(e), and is 

exempt from review under Executive 

Order 12866. 

These measures are exempt from the 

procedures of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act because the temporary rule is issued 

without opportunity for prior notice and 

comment. 

This action responds to the best 

scientific information available. The 

Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, 

NOAA (AA), finds good cause to waive 

the requirements to provide prior notice 

and opportunity for public comment 

pursuant to the authority set forth at 

5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as such prior notice 

and opportunity for public comment is 

unnecessary and contrary to the public 

interest. Such procedures would be 

unnecessary because the rule 

implementing the commercial quota and 

the associated requirement for closure of 

the commercial harvest when the quota 

is reached or projected to be reached has 

already been subject to notice and 

comment, and all that remains is to 

notify the public of the closure. 

Additionally, allowing prior notice and 

opportunity for public comment is 

contrary to the public interest because 

of the need to immediately implement 

this action to protect the king mackerel 

stock because the capacity of the fishing 

fleet allows for rapid harvest of the 

quota. Prior notice and opportunity for 

public comment would require time and 

would potentially result in a harvest 

well in excess of the established quota. 

For the aforementioned reasons, the 

AA also finds good cause to waive the 

30-day delay in the effectiveness of this 

action under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
