Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: At the request of L. Topaz 

Enterprises, Inc., the Audio Division 

amends the FM Table of Allotments by 

adding Channel 292A at Desert Hills, 

Arizona. We find that the public interest 

would be served by allotting a second 

local service at Desert Hills, Arizona. A 

staff engineering analysis indicates that 

Channel 292A can be added at Desert 

Hills, Arizona, as proposed, consistent 

with the minimum distance separation 

requirements of the Commission’s rules 

without a site restriction. The reference 

coordinates are 34–32–58 NL and 114– 

22–2 WL.

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 directed 

fishing for Alaska plaice in the Bering 

Sea and Aleutian Islands management 

area (BSAI). This action is necessary to 

prevent exceeding the 2018 Alaska 

plaice total allowable catch (TAC) 

specified for the BSAI. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local 

time (A.l.t.), June 25, 2018, through 

2400 hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Steve Whitney, 907–586–7228. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

manages the groundfish fishery in the 

BSAI exclusive economic zone 

according to the Fishery Management 

Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea 

and Aleutian Islands Management Area 

(FMP) prepared by the North Pacific 

Fishery Management Council under 

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

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 2018 Alaska plaice TAC specified 

for the BSAI is 16,100 metric tons as 

established by the final 2018 and 2019 

harvest specifications for groundfish in 

the BSAI (83 FR 8365, February 27, 

2018). 

In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i), 

the Administrator, Alaska Region, 

NMFS, (Regional Administrator) has 

determined that the 2018 Alaska plaice 

TAC in the BSAI will soon be reached. 

Therefore, the Regional Administrator is 

establishing a directed fishing 

allowance of 15,100 mt, and is setting 

aside the remaining 1,000 mt as bycatch 

to support other anticipated groundfish 

fisheries. In accordance with 

§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional 

Administrator finds that this directed 

fishing allowance has been reached. 

Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting 

directed fishing for Alaska plaice in the 

BSAI. 

While this closure is effective the 

maximum retainable amounts at 

§ 679.20(e) and (f) apply at any time 

during a trip. 

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 directed fishery closure of 

Alaska plaice in the BSAI. NMFS was 

unable to publish a notice providing
