April 1998 Semiannual Agenda of Regulations

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Commerce.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: In compliance with Executive Order 12866 entitled ``Regulatory
Planning and Review'' and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended,
the Department of Commerce, in April and October of each year,
publishes in the Federal Register an agenda of regulations under
development or review over the next 12 months. Rulemaking actions are
grouped according to prerulemaking, proposed rules, final rules, long-
term actions, and rulemaking actions completed since the October 1997
agenda. The purpose of the agenda is to provide information to the
public on regulations currently under review, being proposed, or issued
by the Department. The agenda is intended to facilitate comments and
views by interested members of the public.

    The Department's April 1998 regulatory agenda includes
regulatory activities that are expected to be conducted during the
period April 1, 1998, through March 31, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Specific: For additional information about specific regulatory actions
listed in the agenda, contact the individual identified as the contact
person.

General: Comments or inquiries of a general nature about the agenda
should be directed to Michael A. Levitt, Assistant General Counsel for
Legislation and Regulation, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC
20230; telephone: 202-482-0846.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 12866 requires agencies to
publish an agenda of those regulations that are under consideration
pursuant to this order. By memorandum of January 7, 1998, the Office of
Management and Budget issued guidelines and procedures for the
preparation and publication of the April 1998 Unified Agenda of Federal
Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq., requires agencies to publish, in April and October
of each year, a regulatory flexibility agenda which contains a brief
description of the subject area of any rule which is likely to have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
The agenda can also identify those entries that have been selected for
periodic review under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Explanation of Information Contained in the Agenda

    Within the Department, the Office of the Secretary and various
operating units may issue regulations. Operating units, such as the
Bureau of Export Administration, the International Trade
Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), and the Patent and Trademark Office, issue the greatest
share of the Department's regulations.

    A large number of regulatory actions reported in the agenda
deal with fishery management programs of NOAA's National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS). To avoid repetition of programs and
definitions, as well as to provide some understanding of the
technical and institutional elements of the NMFS programs, a
section on ``Explanation of Information Contained in NMFS
Regulatory Entries'' is provided below.

Explanation of Information Contained in NMFS Regulatory Entries

    The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act
(16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) (Act) governs the management of fisheries
within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The EEZ refers to those
waters from the outer edge of the State boundaries, generally 3
nautical miles, to a distance of 200 nautical miles. Fishery
Management Plans (FMPs) are to be prepared for fisheries which
require conservation and management measures. Regulations
implementing these FMPs regulate domestic fishing and foreign
fishing where permitted. Foreign fishing can be conducted in a
fishery for which there is no FMP only if a preliminary fishery
management plan has been issued to govern that foreign fishing.
Under the Act, eight Regional Fishery Management Councils
(Councils) prepare FMPs or amendments to FMPs for fisheries within
their respective areas. In the development of such plans or
amendments and their implementing regulations, the Councils are
required by law to conduct public hearings on the draft plans and
to consider the use of alternative means of regulating.

    The Council process for developing FMPs and amendments makes it
difficult for NMFS to determine the significance and timing of some
regulatory actions under consideration by the Councils at the time
the semiannual regulatory agenda is published.

    The DOC April 1998 regulatory agenda follows.

Dated: February 20, 1998.

Michael A. Levitt,

Acting General Counsel.
