NOAA Information Collection Requirements Under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act: OMB Control Numbers; Fisheries off West Coast States; 
Fisheries in the Western Pacific

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS reorganizes existing fishery regulations by creating a 
new part for western Pacific regulations. This rule organizes the 
regulations into a logical and cohesive order; it does not make 
substantive changes to existing fishery regulations. This rule also 
amends references to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) information 
collection requirements to reflect the reorganization. The purpose of 
this rule is to make the regulations better organized and easier for 
the public to use.

DATES: Effective April 10, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Harman, NMFS Pacific Islands 
Region, 808-944-2271.

Background

    In 1996, NMFS published a final rule (61 FR 34570, July 2, 1996) 
that consolidated six parts of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 
into one new CFR part (50 CFR part 660). Among the actions in that rule 
was consolidation of regulations that implemented fishery conservation 
and management measures for fisheries operating in the exclusive 
economic zone (EEZ) off the west coast and in the western Pacific. The 
1996 action reorganized the rules into a more logical and cohesive 
order, removed duplicative and outdated provisions, and made editorial 
changes for readability, clarity and uniformity in the regulatory 
language. The current action makes the regulations even better 
organized, and easier for the public to use.
    Since the 1996 reorganization, there have been significant changes 
in the fisheries managed under 50 CFR part 660 and in the associated 
fishery regulations. New subparts have been added that cover west coast 
highly migratory species fisheries and western Pacific coral reef 
fisheries. Subparts that apply specifically to fisheries in the western 
Pacific are currently intermingled with subparts that apply to 
fisheries off the west coast, and several subparts have been changed 
substantially.
    In 2004, NMFS established a new Pacific Islands Region and Pacific

[[Page 17986]]

Islands Regional Office with responsibility for administering NMFS 
conservation and management programs in the western Pacific. Those 
responsibilities are no longer in the purview of the NMFS Southwest 
Region. Thus, the realignment of regulations for fisheries in the 
western Pacific is consistent with the new regional office that is 
responsible for their administration.
    In addition to the above reasons for regulatory reorganization, the 
Western Pacific Fishery Management Council is in the process of 
creating fishery ecosystem plans that will apply ecosystem management 
principles to fisheries, consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 
Conservation and Management Act. Those plans will shift management from 
a fishery or species basis (e.g., pelagic species, crustaceans, etc.) 
to one based on geographical areas (e.g., American Samoa, Hawaii, 
etc.). The move to ecosystems management will require reorganization of 
the regulations for western Pacific fisheries into geographic areas; 
such a reorganization will be facilitated by the current action.

Reorganization of Regulations for the Western Pacific

    This action redesignates those regulations in 50 CFR part 660 that 
cover fisheries in the western Pacific as regulations in a new 50 CFR 
part 665. Fisheries for pelagic species, crustaceans, bottomfish and 
seamount groundfish, precious corals and coral reef ecosystems in the 
western Pacific are managed by these regulations. After the 
reorganization, the regulations remaining in 50 CFR part 660 will 
include those fisheries that are managed by NMFS off the west coast. 
The restructuring allows interested fishermen, managers and the general 
public to readily access the regulations.
    No substantive changes are being made to the regulations, but 
several administrative titles and telephone numbers are updated. In 50 
CFR part 660, subpart A (general provisions) is not redesignated, but 
is edited to apply solely to west coast fisheries, and a new 50 CFR 
part 665, subpart A, is created for western Pacific fisheries.
    The following table lists the redesignation of the subparts and 
sections:

Revisions to Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) References

    Section 3507 of the PRA requires that agencies inventory and 
display a current control number assigned by the Director, Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), for each agency information collection, 
and 15 CFR 902.1(b) identifies the location of NOAA regulations for 
which OMB approvals have been issued. Because this final rule codifies 
many recordkeeping and reporting requirements, 15 CFR 902.1(b) is 
revised to reference correctly the new sections resulting from the 
reorganization.
    The following table lists the redesignation of the NOAA PRA 
approvals for regulatory requirements.

    The following collection of information requirements have already

been approved by OMB for U.S. fishing activities:
    1. Approved under 0648-0214. (1) Pacific Islands Region (PIR)

    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Assistant Administrator for 
Fisheries, NOAA, (AA) finds good cause to waive prior notice and 
opportunity for public comment, as such notice and comment would be 
unnecessary. These procedures are unnecessary because no substantive 
changes are being made pursuant to this final rule. The only action 
currently being taken is to reorganize the western Pacific regulations 
into a new part, and to change the cross references to the previous 
part so as to reflect the reorganization. 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).
