SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because EPA 

views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this rule, no 

further activity is contemplated. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period; 

therefore, any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. Please note that if EPA 

receives adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

EPA may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. For additional 

information, see the direct final rule 

which is located in the Final Rules 

section of this Federal Register. 

Dated: May 6, 2009.

[Docket No. 070717350–7391–01] 

RIN 0648–AV63 

International Fisheries; Western and 

Central Pacific Fisheries for Highly 

Migratory Species; Initial 

Implementation of the Western and 

Central Pacific Fisheries Convention 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS proposes regulations to 

implement, in part, the Western and 

Central Pacific Fisheries Convention 

Implementation Act (Act), which 

authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to 

promulgate regulations needed to carry 

out the obligations of the United States 

under the Convention on the 

Conservation and Management of 

Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the 

Western and Central Pacific Ocean 

(Convention), including implementing 

the decisions of the Commission for the 

Conservation and Management of 

Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the 

Western and Central Pacific Ocean 

(WCPFC). NMFS has determined that 

this action is necessary for the United 

States to satisfy its international 

obligations under the Convention, to 

which it is a Contracting Party. It would 

have the effect of requiring that all 

relevant U.S. fishing vessels are 

operated in conformance with the 

provisions of the Convention. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted in 

writing by June 22, 2009.
