RIN 0648–XG662 

Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South 

Atlantic; 2018 Recreational 

Accountability Measure and Closure 

for the South Atlantic Other Jacks 

Complex 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS implements an 

accountability measure (AM) for the 

recreational sector for the other jacks 

complex (lesser amberjack, almaco jack, 

and banded rudderfish) in the South 

Atlantic for the 2018 fishing year 

through this temporary rule. NMFS has 

determined that recreational landings of 

the other jacks complex has exceeded its 

recreational annual catch limit (ACL). 

Therefore, NMFS closes the recreational 

sector for this complex on December 18, 

2018, through the remainder of the 2018 

fishing year in the exclusive economic 

zone (EEZ) of the South Atlantic. This 

closure is necessary to protect the lesser 

amberjack, almaco jack, and banded 

rudderfish resources. 

DATES: This rule is effective 12:01 a.m., 

local time, December 18, 2018, until 

12:01 a.m., local time, January 1, 2019.

Office, telephone: 727–824–5305, email:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

snapper-grouper fishery of the South 

Atlantic includes lesser amberjack, 

almaco jack, and banded rudderfish, 

and is managed under the Fishery 

Management Plan for the SnapperGrouper Fishery of the South Atlantic 

Region (FMP). The FMP was prepared 

by the South Atlantic Fishery 

Management Council and is 

implemented by NMFS under the 

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by 

regulations at 50 CFR part 622. 

The recreational ACL for the other 

jacks complex is 267,799 lb (121,472 

kg), round weight. Under 50 CFR 

622.193(l)(2)(i), NMFS is required to 

close the recreational sector for the 

other jacks complex when the 

recreational ACL has been reached, or is 

projected to be reached, by filing a 

notification to that effect with the Office 

of the Federal Register, unless NMFS 

determines that no closure is necessary 

based on the best scientific information 

available. NMFS has determined that 

the recreational sector for this complex 

has exceeded its ACL. Therefore, this 

temporary rule implements an AM to 

close the recreational sector for the 

other jacks complex in the South 

Atlantic EEZ, effective 12:01 a.m., local 

time, December 18, 2018, until January 

1, 2019, the start of the next fishing 

year. 

During the recreational closure, the 

bag and possession limits for the fish in 

the other jacks complex in or from the 

South Atlantic EEZ are zero. 

Additionally, NMFS closed the 

commercial sector for the other jacks 

complex effective on August 22, 2018, 

upon reaching the commercial ACL (83 

FR 41019; August 17, 2018). Therefore, 

as of 12:01 a.m. on December 18, 2018, 

no commercial or recreational harvest of 

fish in the other jacks complex from the 

South Atlantic EEZ is allowed for the 

remainder of the 2018 fishing year. 

Classification 

The Regional Administrator, 

Southeast Region, NMFS, has 

determined this temporary rule is 

necessary for the conservation and 

management of the other jacks complex, 

a component of the South Atlantic 

snapper-grouper fishery, and is 

consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens 

Act and other applicable laws. 

This action is taken under 50 CFR 

622.193(l)(2)(i) and is exempt from 

review under Executive Order 12866. 

These measures are exempt from the 

procedures of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act because the temporary rule is issued 

without opportunity for prior notice and 

public comment. 

This action responds to the best 

scientific information available. The 

Assistant Administrator for NOAA 

Fisheries (AA) finds that the need to 

immediately implement this action to 

close the recreational sector for the 

other jacks complex constitutes good 

cause to waive the requirements to 

provide prior notice and opportunity for 

public comment pursuant to the 

authority set forth in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), 

as such procedures are unnecessary and 

contrary to the public interest. Such 

procedures are unnecessary because the 

rule implementing the AM itself has 

been subject to notice and comment, 

and all that remains is to notify the 

public of the closure. Such procedures 

are contrary to the public interest 

because of the need to immediately 

implement this action to protect the 

other jacks complex. Prior notice and 

opportunity for public comment would 

require time and would potentially

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 18, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 64749 

allow the recreational sector to further 

exceed its ACL. 

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).
