Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 5, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 41899 

Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not 

apply to this action. 

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks 

The EPA interprets Executive Order 

13045 as applying only to those 

regulatory actions that concern 

environmental health or safety risks that 

the EPA has reason to believe may 

disproportionately affect children, per 

the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory 

action’’ in section 2–202 of the 

Executive Order. This action is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045 

because it does not impose additional 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

state law. 

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211, because it is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

Section 12(d) of the NTTAA directs 

the EPA to use voluntary consensus 

standards in its regulatory activities 

unless to do so would be inconsistent 

with applicable law or otherwise 

impractical. The EPA believes that this 

action is not subject to the requirements 

of section 12(d) of the NTTAA because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Population 

The EPA lacks the discretionary 

authority to address environmental 

justice in this rulemaking. 

K. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 

This action is subject to the CRA, and 

the EPA will submit a rule report to 

each House of the Congress and to the 

Comptroller General of the United 

States. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ 

as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

L. Petitions for Judicial Review 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by November 6, 

2017. Filing a petition for 

reconsideration by the Administrator of 

this final rule does not affect the finality 

of this rule for the purposes of judicial 

review nor does it extend the time 

within which a petition for judicial 

review may be filed, and shall not 

postpone the effectiveness of such rule 

or action. This action may not be 

challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements (see section 

307(b)(2)).

RIN 0648–XF654 

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Reallocation of 

Pacific Cod in the Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Islands Management Area 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; reallocation. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is reallocating the 

projected unused amount of Pacific cod 

from vessels using jig gear and catcher 

vessels greater than or equal to 60 feet 

(18.3 meters) length overall (LOA) using 

hook-and-line gear to catcher vessels 

less than 60 feet (18.3 meters) LOA 

using hook-and-line or pot gear in the 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

management area. This action is 

necessary to allow the 2017 total 

allowable catch of Pacific cod to be 

harvested. 

DATES: Effective August 30, 2017, 

through 2400 hours, Alaska local time 

(A.l.t.), December 31, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Obren Davis, 907–586–7228. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

manages the groundfish fishery in the 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) 

according to the Fishery Management 

Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea 

and Aleutian Islands Management Area 

(FMP) prepared by the North Pacific 

Fishery Management Council under 

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act. Regulations governing fishing by 

U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP 

appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600 

and 50 CFR part 679. 

The 2017 Pacific cod total allowable 

catch (TAC) specified for vessels using 

jig gear in the BSAI is 1,293 metric tons 

(mt) as established by the final 2017 and 

mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES

41900 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 5, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

2018 harvest specifications for 

groundfish in the BSAI (82 FR 11826, 

February 27, 2017) and one inseason 

adjustment (82 FR 8905, February 1, 

2017). 

The Administrator, Alaska Region, 

NMFS, (Regional Administrator) has 

determined that jig vessels will not be 

able to harvest 1,612 mt of the 

remaining 2017 Pacific cod TAC 

allocated to those vessels under 

§ 679.20(a)(7)(ii)(A)(1). Therefore, in 

accordance with § 679.20(a)(7)(iii)(A), 

NMFS apportions 1,612 mt of Pacific 

cod to the annual amount specified for 

catcher vessels less than 60 feet LOA 

using hook-and-line or pot gear. 

The 2017 Pacific cod TAC specified 

for catcher vessels greater than or equal 

to 60 feet LOA using hook-and-line gear 

in the BSAI is 426 mt as established by 

final 2017 and 2018 harvest 

specifications for groundfish in the 

BSAI (82 FR 11826, February 27, 2017). 

The Regional Administrator has 

determined that catcher vessels greater 

than or equal to 60 feet LOA using hookand-line gear will not be able to harvest 

426 mt of the remaining 2017 Pacific 

cod TAC allocated to those vessels 

under § 679.20(a)(7)(ii)(A)(3). Therefore, 

in accordance with § 679.20(a)(7)(iii)(A), 

NMFS apportions 426 mt of Pacific cod 

to catcher vessels less than 60 feet LOA 

using hook-and-line or pot gear. 

The harvest specifications for Pacific 

cod included in the final 2017 harvest 

specifications for groundfish in the 

BSAI (82 FR 11826, February 27, 2017) 

and inseason adjustment (82 FR 8905, 

February 1, 2017) are revised as follows: 

107 mt for vessels using jig gear, 0 mt 

for catcher vessels greater than or equal 

to 60 feet LOA using hook-and-line gear, 

and 7,571 mt to catcher vessels less than 

60 feet LOA using hook-and-line or pot 

gear. 

Classification 

This action responds to the best 

available information recently obtained 

from the fishery. The Assistant 

Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA 

(AA), finds good cause to waive the 

requirement 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 requirement is 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest. This requirement is 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest as it would prevent NMFS from 

responding to the most recent fisheries 

data in a timely fashion and would 

delay the reallocation of Pacific cod 

specified from other sectors to catcher 

vessels less than 60 feet LOA using 

hook-and-line or pot gear. Since the 

fishery is currently open, it is important 

to immediately inform the industry as to 

the revised allocations. Immediate 

notification is necessary to allow for the 

orderly conduct and efficient operation 

of this fishery, to allow the industry to 

plan for the fishing season, and to avoid 

potential disruption to the fishing fleet 

as well as processors. NMFS was unable 

to publish a notice providing time for 

public comment because the most 

recent, relevant data only became 

available as of August 29, 2017. 

The AA also finds good cause to 

waive the 30-day delay in the effective 

date of this action under 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3). This finding is based upon 

the reasons provided above for waiver of 

prior notice and opportunity for public 

comment. 

This action is required by § 679.20 

and is exempt from review under 

Executive Order 12866. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. 

Dated: August 30, 2017.
