Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic

Zone Off Alaska; Revise Management

Authority of Pelagic Shelf Rockfish;

Notice of Availability

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of availability; request

for comments.

SUMMARY: The North Pacific Fishery

Management Council (Council) has

submitted Amendment 46 to the Fishery

Management Plan for Groundfish of the

Gulf of Alaska (FMP) for Secretarial

review. This amendment would remove

black and blue rockfish from the FMP.

The State of Alaska would then assume

management of those species. This

action is necessary to allow the State of

Alaska to implement more responsive,

regionally based, management of these

species than is currently possible under

the FMP. NMFS is requesting comments

from the public on the proposed

amendment, copies of which may be

obtained from the Council (see

ADDRESSES).

DATES: Comments on Amendment 46

must be submitted by January 5, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the FMP

amendment should be submitted to

Chief, Fisheries Management Division,

Alaska Region, NMFS, P.O. Box 21668,

Juneau, AK 99802, Attn: Lori Gravel, or

delivered to the Federal Building, 709

West 9th Street, Juneau, AK. Copies of

Amendment 46 and the Environmental

Assessment/Regulatory Impact Review

(EA/RIR) and related economic analysis

prepared for the proposed action are

available from the North Pacific Fishery

Management Council, 605 West 4th

Ave., Suite 306, Anchorage, AK 99501–

2252; telephone: 907–271–2809.

Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 214 / Wednesday, November 5, 1997 / Proposed Rules 59845

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

Conservation and Management Act

(Magnuson-Stevens Act) requires that

each Regional Fishery Management

Council submit any fishery management

plan amendment it prepares to NMFS

for review and approval, disapproval, or

partial disapproval. The MagnusonStevens Act also requires that NMFS,

after receiving a fishery management

plan or amendment, immediately

publish a document in the Federal

Register that the fishery management

plan or amendment is available for

public review and comment. This action

constitutes such notice for Amendment

46 to the FMP.

Amendment 46 was adopted by the

Council at its June 1997 meeting. It

would remove black rockfish (Sebastes

melanops) and blue rockfish (Sebastes

mystinus) from the FMP and allow the

State of Alaska to extend its

management authority for these species

into Federal waters. This action would

allow the State of Alaska to implement

small area harvest guidelines, developed

by using more appropriate sampling

methodologies than are currently used

under Federal management. This action

is necessary to prevent possible

overexploitation and localized depletion

of black and blue rockfish resources.

NMFS will consider the public

comments received during the comment

period in determining whether to

approve the proposed amendment. A

proposed rule to implement

Amendment 46 has been submitted for

Secretarial review and approval. The

proposed rule to implement this

amendment is scheduled to be

published within 15 days of this

document.

Comments received by January 5,

1998, whether specifically directed to

the amendment or the proposed rule,

will be considered in the approval/

disapproval decision on Amendment

46. Comments received after that date

will not be considered in the approval/

disapproval decision. All comments

received on Amendment 46 or on the

proposed rule during their respective

comment periods will be addressed in

the final rule.

Dated: October 30, 1997.

Gary C. Matlock,

Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries,

National Marine Fisheries Service.
