SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

A final rule was published in the July

appropriate corrections.

Impact

NASA certifies that this regulation

will not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the Regulatory Flexibility

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic

Zone Off Alaska; Greenland Turbot in

the Bering Sea Subarea

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Closure.

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting retention

of Greenland turbot in the Bering Sea

subarea of the Bering Sea and Aleutian

Islands management area (BSAI). NMFS

is requiring that catch of Greenland

turbot 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 Greenland turbot 1997 total

allowable catch (TAC) in this area has

been reached.

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local

time (A.l.t.), July 23, 1997, until 2400

hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mary Furuness, 907–586-7228.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

groundfish fishery in the BSAI exclusive

economic zone is managed by the NMFS

according to the Fishery Management

Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the

Bering Sea and Bering Sea Area (FMP)

prepared by the North Pacific Fishery

Management Council under authority of

the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

Conservation and Management Act.

Fishing by U.S. vessels is governed by

regulations implementing the FMP at

subpart H of 50 CFR part 600 and 50

CFR part 679.

The 1997 TAC of Greenland turbot in

the Bering Sea subarea was established

by the Final 1997 Harvest Specifications

of Groundfish for the BSAI (62 FR 7168,

February 18, 1997) and subsequent

reserve apportionment (62 FR 31369,

June 9, 1997) as 6,030 metric tons (mt).

See § 679.20(c)(3)(iii).

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

Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS,

has determined that the 1997 TAC for

Greenland turbot in the Bering Sea

subarea has been reached. Therefore,

NMFS is requiring that further catches

of Greenland turbot in the Bering Sea

subarea 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. It must be

implemented immediately to prevent

overharvesting the 1997 TAC for

Greenland turbot in the Bering Sea

subarea of the BSAI. Providing prior

notice and an opportunity for public

comment on this action is impracticable

and contrary to public interest. The fleet

has already taken the directed fishing

allowance for Greenland turbot. Further

delay would only result in overharvest

and disrupt the FMP’s objective of

allowing incidental catch to be retained

throughout the year. NMFS finds for

good cause that the implementation of

this action cannot be delayed for 30

days. Accordingly, under 5 U.S.C.

553(d), a delay in the effective date is

hereby waived.

This action is required by § 679.20

and is exempt from review under E.O.

12866.

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

Dated: July 22, 1997.

Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries,

National Marine Fisheries Service.
