This final rule amends MARAD's regulations governing Seamen's Service Awards. The amendment changes the name "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" consistent with Executive Order (E.O.) 14172, Restoring Names that Honor American Greatness.

This final rule implements a recommendation from the Administrative Committee for Pistachios (Committee) to decrease the assessment rate established for the 2024-2025 and subsequent production years from $0.0007 to $0.0003 per pound of assessable pistachios handled under the marketing order. The assessment rate will remain in effect indefinitely unless modified, suspended, or terminated.
NMFS proposes regulations to implement Amendment 55 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic (FMP), as prepared and submitted by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council). This proposed rule would remove yellowmouth grouper from the other South Atlantic shallow water grouper (other SASWG) complex and establish a new scamp and yellowmouth grouper complex. This proposed rule would establish catch levels, sector management measures, and accountability measures (AM) for the new scamp and yellowmouth grouper complex and establish catch levels for the revised other SASWG complex. In addition, Amendment 55 would establish a rebuilding plan, sector allocations, and status determination criteria (SDC) for the scamp and yellowmouth grouper complex. The purpose of this proposed rule and Amendment 55 is to rebuild the scamp and yellowmouth grouper stock, and achieve optimum yield (OY) while minimizing, to the extent practicable, adverse social and economic effects.
As directed by the Executive order of January 20, 2025, "Restoring Names that Honor American Greatness," PHMSA is amending its regulations to change the name of the body of water known previously as the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America."
This action is an administrative change to rename the Gulf of Mexico High and Gulf of Mexico Low offshore airspace areas. The FAA is taking this action to implement the Gulf of Mexico name changes directed in Executive Order (E.O.) 14172, Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness, published January 20, 2025.

This document amends the Table of TV Allotments (table) of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules by deleting channel 12 at Silver City, New Mexico and reallotting channel 12 from Silver City to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico in response to a Petition for Rulemaking filed by TV-49, Inc., the permittee of an unbuilt full power television station KKAB on channel 12 allotted to Silver City, New Mexico. The staff engineering analysis finds that the proposal is in compliance with the Commission's principal community coverage and technical requirements. TV-49, Inc. also requested modification of its construction permit to specify Truth or Consequences as its community of license.
NMFS announces that the recreational fishing season for black sea bass in South Atlantic Federal waters will extend throughout the 2025-2026 recreational fishing year. Announcing the length of the recreational fishing season for black sea bass is one of the accountability measures (AMs) for the recreational sector. This announcement allows recreational fishers to maximize their opportunity to harvest the recreational annual catch limit (ACL) for black sea bass while NMFS manages harvest to protect the black sea bass resource.
NMFS implements an accountability measure (AM) for the recreational harvest of gag in South Atlantic Federal waters. NMFS reduces the length of the 2025 recreational fishing season for gag to prevent landings from exceeding the recreational annual catch limit (ACL) as occurred in 2024. Accordingly, NMFS announces the adjusted closure date for the recreational harvest of gag in South Atlantic Federal waters to protect the gag resource.
NMFS implements an accountability measure (AM) for the recreational harvest of snowy grouper in South Atlantic Federal waters. NMFS reduces the length of the 2025 recreational fishing season to prevent landings from exceeding the recreational annual catch limit (ACL) as they did in 2024. Accordingly, NMFS announces the adjusted closure date in 2025 for the recreational harvest of snowy grouper in South Atlantic Federal waters to protect the snowy grouper resource.
NMFS announces the 2025 recreational fishing season for golden tilefish in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the South Atlantic. Announcing the length of the recreational fishing season is the accountability measure (AM) for the recreational sector. NMFS estimates that recreational landings of golden tilefish will soon reach the recreational annual catch limit (ACL) for the 2025 fishing year. Accordingly, NMFS announces the closure date for the recreational harvest of golden tilefish in the South Atlantic EEZ to protect the golden tilefish resource.
NMFS closes commercial harvest of king mackerel using run- around gillnet gear in the southern zone of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) exclusive economic zone (EEZ). NMFS has determined that the commercial landings of king mackerel harvested by run-around gillnet gear in the southern zone have reached the annual catch limit (ACL). Therefore, NMFS implements an accountability measure (AM) and closes the southern zone to commercial king mackerel fishing using run-around gillnet gear in the Gulf EEZ. This closure is necessary to protect the Gulf king mackerel resource.
The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) submitted Amendment 55 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper- Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic (FMP) for review, approval, and implementation by NMFS. If approved by the Secretary of Commerce, Amendment 55 would remove yellowmouth grouper from the other South Atlantic shallow water grouper complex (other SASWG) and establish a new scamp and yellowmouth grouper complex. Amendment 55 would also establish status determination criteria (SDC), a rebuilding plan, catch levels, sector allocations, sector management measures, and accountability measures (AMs) for the new complex; and establish catch levels for the revised other SASWG complex. The purpose of Amendment 55 is to rebuild the scamp and yellowmouth grouper stock, and achieve optimum yield (OY) while minimizing, to the extent practicable, adverse social and economic effects.
In this document, the Video Division, Media Bureau (Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission (Commission), has before it a petition for rulemaking filed by TV-49, Inc. (TV-49 or Petitioner), the permittee of an unbuilt full power television station KKAB, channel 12, Silver City, New Mexico (Station or KKAB). Petitioner requests an amendment of the Table of TV Allotments (table) to delete channel 12 at Silver City and substitute channel 12 at Truth or Consequences, New Mexico (Truth or Consequences), consistent with the technical parameters set forth in the Petition, as amended. The Petitioner further requests modification of its construction permit to specify Truth or Consequences as its community of license.
NMFS proposes regulations to implement Amendment 59 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic (Snapper-Grouper FMP) (Amendment 59). If approved, Amendment 59 and this proposed rule would, for South Atlantic red snapper: revise the fishing mortality (F) at maximum sustainable yield (MSY) proxy for determining overfishing, acceptable biological catch (ABC), sector annual catch limits (ACLs), fishing year, sector fishing season start dates, recreational fishing season structure, commercial trip limits, and establish an annual experimental studies program. Additionally, Amendment 59 and this proposed rule would establish a snapper-grouper discard reduction season in South Atlantic Federal waters. This action is intended to end and prevent overfishing of red snapper while reducing dead discards and providing additional fishing opportunities.
