RIN 0648–XC687 

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Alaska Plaice in the 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

Management Area 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting retention 

of Alaska plaice in the Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Islands management area 

(BSAI). This action is necessary because 

the 2013 initial total allowable catch 

(ITAC) of Alaska plaice in the BSAI has 

been reached. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local 

time (A.l.t.), May 15, 2013, through 2400 

hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Steve Whitney, 907–586–7269. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

manages the groundfish fishery in the 

GOA exclusive economic zone 

according to the Fishery Management 

Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of 

Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North 

Pacific Fishery Management Council 

under authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act. Regulations governing 

fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance 

with the FMP appear at subpart H of 50 

CFR part 600 and 50 CFR part 679. 

The 2013 ITAC Alaska plaice in the 

BSAI is 17,000 metric tons (mt) as 

established by the final 2013 and 2014 

final harvest specifications for 

groundfish of the GOA (78 FR 13813, 

March 1, 2013). 

In accordance with § 679.20(d)(2), the 

Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS 

(Regional Administrator), has 

determined that the 2013 ITAC of 

Alaska plaice in the BSAI has been 

reached. Therefore, NMFS is requiring 

that Alaska plaice caught in the BSAI be 

treated as prohibited species in 

accordance with § 679.21(b). 

Classification 

This action responds to the best 

available information recently obtained 

from the fishery. The Assistant 

Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA 

(AA), finds good cause to waive the 

requirement to provide prior notice and 

opportunity for public comment 

pursuant to the authority set forth at 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as such requirement is 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest. This requirement is 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest as it would prevent NMFS from 

responding to the most recent fisheries 

data in a timely fashion and would 

delay prohibiting the retention of Alaska 

plaice in the BSAI. NMFS was unable to 

publish a notice providing time for 

public comment because the most 

recent, relevant data only became 

available as of May 10, 2013. 

The AA also finds good cause to 

waive the 30-day delay in the effective 

date of this action under 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3). This finding is based upon 

the reasons provided above for waiver of 

prior notice and opportunity for public 

comment. 

This action is required by § 679.20 

and § 679.21 and is exempt from review 

under Executive Order 12866. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

RIN 0648–BA43 

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Revise Maximum 

Retainable Amounts of Groundfish 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: NMFS issues a regulation to 

increase the maximum retainable 

amounts (MRAs) of groundfish using 

arrowtooth flounder (Atheresthes 

stomias) and Kamchatka flounder 

(Atheresthes evermanni) as basis species 

in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

management area (BSAI). This action 

allows the use of BSAI arrowtooth 

flounder and Kamchatka flounder as 

basis species for the retention of species 

closed to directed fishing and is 

necessary to improve retention of 

otherwise marketable groundfish in 

these BSAI fisheries. This action also 

includes four regulatory amendments 

related to harvest management of 

Kamchatka flounder. 

Two amendments are necessary to 

account for Kamchatka flounder in the 

same manner as arrowtooth flounder in 

the BSAI and to aid in the 

recordkeeping, reporting, and catch 

accounting of flatfish in the BSAI. 

The third amendment is necessary to 

provide NMFS the flexibility to allocate 

Kamchatka flounder (and other species 

in the future) to the Western Alaska 

Community Development Quota (CDQ) 

Program in the annual harvest 

specifications. Through this action, 

NMFS intends to promote the goals and 

objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act, the Fishery Management Plan for 

Groundfish of the Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Islands Management Area, and 

other applicable law. 

DATES: Effective June 19, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Electronic copies of the 

final Environmental Assessment/ 

Regulatory Impact Review/Final 

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (EA/ 

RIR/FRFA) for this action may be
