[Docket No. 060216044–6044–01; I.D. 

072806D] 

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; ‘‘Other Rockfish’’ in 

the Central 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 ‘‘other rockfish’’ in the Central 

Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska 

(GOA). NMFS is requiring that catch of 

‘‘other rockfish’’ 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 2006 total 

allowable catch (TAC) of ‘‘other 

rockfish’’ in this area has been reached. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local 

time (A.l.t.), July 31, 2006, until 2400 

hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 2006. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Hogan, 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. 

The 2006 TAC of ‘‘other rockfish’’ in 

the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA 

is 386 metric tons as established by the 

2006 and 2007 harvest specifications for 

groundfish of the GOA (71 FR 10870, 

March 3, 2006). ‘‘Other rockfish’’

includes slope rockfish and demersal 

shelf rockfish. 

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

Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS, 

has determined that the ‘‘other rockfish’’

TAC in the Central Regulatory Area of 

the GOA has been reached. Therefore, 

NMFS is requiring that further catches 

of ‘‘other rockfish’’ in the Central 

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 

‘‘other rockfish’’ in the Central 

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 July 28, 2006. 

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 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 149 / Thursday, August 3, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 43991 

prior notice and opportunity for public

This action is required by § 679.20 

and is exempt from review under 

Executive Order 12866. 

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