[Docket No. 0910131362–0087–02] 

RIN 0648–XA051 

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Pacific Cod in the 

Western Regulatory Area of the Gulf of 

Alaska 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; prohibition of 

retention. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting retention 

of Pacific cod by vessels catching Pacific 

cod for processing by the inshore 

component in the Western Regulatory 

Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). NMFS 

is requiring that catch of Pacific cod in 

this area be treated in the same manner 

as prohibited species and discarded at 

sea with a minimum of injury. This 

action is necessary because the 2010 

total allowable catch (TAC) of Pacific 

cod apportioned to vessels catching 

Pacific cod for processing by the inshore 

component in this area has been 

reached. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local 

time (A.l.t.), November 17, 2010, 

through 2400 hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 

2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh 

Keaton, 907–586–7228. 

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. 

Regulations governing sideboard 

protections for GOA groundfish 

fisheries appear at subpart B of 50 CFR 

part 680. 

The 2010 Pacific cod TAC 

apportioned to vessels catching Pacific 

cod for processing by the inshore 

component of the Western Regulatory 

Area of the GOA is 18,687 metric tons, 

as established by the final 2010 and 

2011 harvest specifications for 

groundfish of the GOA (75 FR 11749, 

March 12, 2010). 

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

Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS 

(Regional Administrator), has 

determined that the 2010 Pacific cod 

TAC apportioned to vessels catching 

Pacific cod for processing by the inshore 

component in the Western Regulatory 

Area of the GOA has been reached. 

Therefore, NMFS is requiring that 

further catches of Pacific cod caught by 

vessels catching Pacific cod for 

processing by the inshore component in 

the Western Regulatory Area of the GOA 

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 the prohibition of retention of 

Pacific cod by vessels catching Pacific 

cod for processing by the inshore 

component in the Western Regulatory 

Area of the GOA. NMFS was unable to 

publish a notice providing time for 

public comment because the most 

recent, relevant data only became 

available as of November 12, 2010. 

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 is exempt from review under 

Executive Order 12866. 

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

Dated: November 17, 2010.

Acting Director, Office of Sustainable 

Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
