SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 19, 2017, NMFS published this 
final rule that sets forth changes to the regulations that implement 
conservation measures adopted by the Commission for the Conservation of 
Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR or Commission). This final 
rule streamlines and clarifies the regulations for Antarctic marine 
living resources, shifts deadlines for advance notice of intended 
fishing activities, distinguishes between first receivers and dealers 
of Antarctic marine living resources (AMLR), reduces the time for 
advance notice of imports of Dissostichus species, and adds 
transshipment notification requirements. The sections of these 
regulations are reorganized to group requirements related to the trade 
of Antarctic marine living resources and those that apply to fishing 
activities. Additionally, this action updates the regulations to 
reflect Commission-adopted revisions to existing conservation measures 
and changes made to the Antarctic Marine Living Resources Convention 
Act through the Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing 
Enforcement Act of 2015.
    On January 20, 2017, the White House issued a memo instructing 
Federal agencies to temporarily postpone the effective date for 60 days 
after January 20, 2017, of any regulations or guidance documents that 
have published in the Federal Register but not yet taken effect, for 
the purpose of ``reviewing questions of fact, law, and policy they 
raise.'' In accordance with this memorandum, this action delays the 
effective date of the final rule NMFS published on January 19, 2017, at 
82 FR 6221, until March 21, 2017.
