B. Regulatory History and Information

    We published the NPRM for this rulemaking on June 21, 2016 (81 FR 
40437). It proposed to align the commercial fishing industry vessel 
regulations with the mandatory provisions of 2010 and 2012 legislation 
passed by Congress that took effect upon enactment. The alignments 
would change the applicability of current regulations, and add new 
requirements for safety equipment, vessel examinations, vessel safety 
standards, the documentation of maintenance, and the termination of 
unsafe operations. The NPRM announced a 90-day public comment period 
ending September 19, 2016. We have received requests for an extension 
of the comment period, which we have decided to grant in light of the 
importance of our proposed changes to the regulations, and to provide 
ample opportunity for commercial fishermen to review and provide their 
comments. With this extension, the total length of the public comment 
period will now be 180 days.
    This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
