ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: NHTSA published in the 

Federal Register of July 20, 2009, a 

document delaying the compliance date 

of the sliding door provisions of a 

February 6, 2007 final rule. The 

regulatory text adopted by that 

document contained errors. This 

document corrects those errors. 

DATES: Effective on September 1, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

NHTSA published in the Federal 

Register of July 20, 2009 (74 FR 35131), 

a document delaying the compliance 

date of the sliding door provisions of a 

February 6, 2007 final rule (FR Doc. E9– 

17078). In the regulatory text adopted by 

that document, in S4.2.2.3, a statement 

erroneously reads: ‘‘This S4.2.2.3 

applies to vehicle manufactured on or 

after September 1, 2010.’’ The statement 

should read: ‘‘This S4.2.2 applies to 

vehicles manufactured on or after 

September 1, 2010.’’ This document 

corrects that error. 

Correction of Publication 

In rule FR Doc. E9–17078 published 

on July 20, 2009 (74 FR 35131), make 

the following correction. On page 

35135, in the third column, S4.2.2.3 is 

corrected to read as follows: 

S4.2.2.3 This S4.2.2 applies to 

vehicles manufactured on or after 

September 1, 2010. 

Issued: July 23, 2009.

Fisheries Off West Coast States; 

Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; 

Closure of the Primary Pacific Whiting 

Season for the Shore-Based Sector 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Fishing closure restrictions. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the closure 

of the primary season for the Pacific 

whiting fishery for the shore-based 

sector at 10 a.m. local time (l.t.) July 7, 

2009. This action is authorized by 

regulations implementing the Pacific 

Coast Groundfish Fishery Management 

Plan (FMP), which governs the 

groundfish fishery off Washington, 

Oregon, and California. This action is 

intended to keep the harvest of Pacific 

whiting at the 2009 allocation levels. 

DATES: Effective from 10 a.m. l.t. July 7, 

2009, until the start of the 2010 primary 

season for the shore-based sector, unless 

modified, superseded or rescinded by 

notification in the Federal Register. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Becky Renko at 206–526–6110. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

action is authorized by regulations 

implementing the Pacific Coast 

Groundfish Fishery Management Plan 

(FMP), which governs the groundfish 

fishery off Washington, Oregon, and 

California. Regulations at 50 CFR 

660.323(a) established separate 

allocations for the catcher/processor, 

mothership, and shore-based sectors of 

the Pacific whiting fishery. The 2009 

Optimum Yield (OY) for Pacific whiting 

is 135,939 mt. The 2009 commercial OY 

is 81,939 mt. The commercial OY is 

calculated by deducting the 50,000–mt 

tribal set-aside and 4,000–mt for 

research catch and bycatch in nongroundfish fisheries from the 135,939 

mt total catch OY. Each sector receives 

a portion of the commercial OY, with 

the catcher/processors getting 34 

percent (27,859 mt), motherships getting 

24 percent (19,665 mt), and the shorebased sector getting 42 percent (34,414 

mt). When each sector’s allocation is 

reached, the primary season for that 

sector is ended. 

If the Regional Administrator 

determines that a portion of the tribal 

set aside or another sector’s allocation 

will not be used during the year, 

regulations at 50 CFR 660.323(c) allow 

the Regional Administrator to 

reapportion that Pacific whiting to other 

sectors in proportion to their initial 

allocations. At the Pacific Fishery 

Management Council’s March 2009 

meeting, the Makah Tribal 

representatives stated their intent to 

harvest only 23,789 mt of their 42,000 

mt set aside and asked that the 

remaining 18,211 mt be reapportioned 

to the non-tribal sectors of the fishery. 

Therefore, the shore-based sector 

received an additional 7,649 mt, 

resulting in a harvest guideline of 

42,063 mt. 

The shore-based sector is composed of 

vessels that harvest Pacific whiting for 

delivery to land-based processors. The 

primary season for the shore-based 

sector is the period or periods when the 

large-scale target fishery is conducted, 

and when ‘‘per trip’’ limits are not in 

effect for vessels targeting Pacific 

whiting with mid-water gear. 

The best available information on July 

6, 2009 indicated that 32,933 mt of 

Pacific whiting had been taken through 

July 3, 2009, and the 42,063 mt 

allocation for the shore-based sector 

would be reached by 10 a.m. on July 7, 

2009. This Federal Register notice 

announces the date that the primary 

season for the shore-based sector was 

ended. Regulations at 50 CFR 

660.323(b)(4) allow this action to be 

taken. To prevent an allocation from 

being exceeded, regulations at 50 CFR 

660.323(e) allow closure of the 

commercial Pacific whiting fisheries by 

actual notice to the fishery participants. 

Actual notice includes e-mail, internet, 

phone, fax, letter or press release. NMFS 

provided actual notice by e-mail and fax 

on July 6, 2009. 

NMFS Action 

This document announces 

achievement of the shore-based sector 

allocation specified at 50 CFR 

660.323(a) and in the final rule 

published on May 5, 2009 (74 FR 

20620). The best available information 

on July 6, 2009, indicated that 32,933 mt
