50 CFR Part 622 

[Docket No. 230427–0115; RTID 0648– 

XD523] 

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of 

Mexico, and South Atlantic; Reef Fish 

Resources of the Gulf of Mexico; 

Partial Holdback of Commercial Quota 

for Gag in the Gulf of Mexico 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; commercial 

quota holdback. 

SUMMARY: NMFS issues this temporary 

rule to withhold a portion of the 

commercial allocation of gag for the 

2024 fishing year in anticipation of the 

upcoming rulemaking for Amendment 

56 to the Fishery Management Plan for 

the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of 

Mexico (FMP) that would amend the 

FMP by implementing measures to end 

overfishing of gag and establish a 

rebuilding plan for the stock. These 

measures would, in part, reduce the 

commercial sector annual catch limit 

(ACL) and commercial quota. This 

temporary rule will withhold the 

distribution of gag individual fishing 

quota (IFQ) allocation on January 1, 

2024, to shareholders in the Groupers 

and Tilefishes IFQ (GT–IFQ) program in 

the amount equal to the anticipated 

reduction in the commercial quota and 

set the red grouper multi-use allocation 

to zero as required when gag is in a 

rebuilding plan. 

DATES: This temporary rule is effective 

from January 1, 2024, until June 1, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dan 

Luers, NMFS Southeast Regional Office, 

telephone: 727–824–5305, email: 

daniel.luers@noaa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The reef 

fish fishery in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) 

includes gag and is managed under the 

FMP. The FMP was prepared by the 

Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management 

Council (Council) and approved and 

implemented by NMFS through 

regulations at 50 CFR part 622 under the 

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). 

The Gulf gag fishery is divided into 

commercial and recreational sectors, 

with a stock ACL that is allocated 39 

percent to the commercial sector and 61 

percent to the recreational sector. The 

commercial sector is managed under the 

GT–IFQ program and landings are 

constrained to the commercial quota, 

which is reduced from the commercial 

ACL. Recreational harvest is currently 

permitted from June 1 each year until 

NMFS projects that recreational 

landings reach the recreational ACL. If 

the recreational ACL is exceeded, 

recreational harvest is constrained the 

following year to the recreational annual 

catch target. All weights described in 

this temporary rule are in gutted weight. 

In January 2022, NMFS notified the 

Council that gag is overfished and 

undergoing overfishing. In July 2022, 

the Council sent a letter to NMFS 

recommending interim measures to 

reduce overfishing beginning in the 

2023 fishing year while the Council 

developed Amendment 56 to the FMP to 

implement permanent measures to end 

overfishing and rebuild the stock. The 

interim measures, effective from May 3, 

2023, through May 2, 2024, reduced the 

gag catch limits and modified the 

recreational season (88 FR 27701, May 

3, 2023). Therefore, the current 

commercial ACL and commercial quota, 

implemented through those interim 

measures, are 258,000 lb (117,027 kg) 

and 199,000 lb (90,265 kg), respectively. 

On October 18, 2023, NMFS 

published an announcement of 

availability for Amendment 56 (88 FR 

71812, October 18, 2023), and on 

November 9, NMFS published a 

proposed rule to implement 

Amendment 56 (88 FR 77246, 

November 9, 2023). As described in the 

announcement of availability and 

proposed rule, if Amendment 56 is 

approved and implemented the 

commercial ACL and commercial quota 

for the 2024 fishing year would be 

further reduced to 155,000 lb (70,307 

kg) and 147,000 lb (66,678 kg). Under 

the GT–IFQ program, annual quota is 

distributed to IFQ shareholders as 

allocation (including multi-use 

allocation) on January 1, and most IFQ 

program participants begin to use or 

transfer their allocation early in each 

year. After shareholders begin 

transferring or landing allocation, NMFS 

is not able to retroactively withdraw 

allocation from shareholder accounts if 

a commercial quota decrease became 

effective after the beginning of the 

fishing year. Regulations at 50 CFR 

622.22(a)(4), authorize NMFS to 

withhold distribution of IFQ allocation 

on January 1 in the amount equal to an 

expected reduction in the commercial 

quota. Accordingly, through this 

temporary rule NMFS withholds 

distribution of the portion of the 2024 

commercial quota of gag equal to the 

anticipated reduction recommended by 

the Council in Amendment 56. Because 

Amendment 56 would also establish a 

rebuilding plan for gag, multi-use 

allocation of red grouper would be set 

a zero on implementation. Therefore, 

through this temporary rule, NMFS will 

set the red grouper IFQ multi-use 

allocation at zero. 

NMFS will distribute the available gag 

allocation, on January 1, 2024. 

If NMFS does not implement 

Amendment 56, including the revised 

commercial quota, by June 1, 2024, then 

NMFS will distribute the withheld 

allocation back to the current 

shareholders, as determined by the 

shares held on the same date that NMFS 

distributes the withheld IFQ quota. 

Classification 

NMFS issues this action pursuant to 

section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Act. This action is taken under 50 CFR 

622.22(a)(4), which was issued pursuant 

to section 304(b) of the MagnusonStevens Act, and is exempt from review 

under Executive Order 12866, and other 

applicable laws. 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), there 

is good cause to waive prior notice and 

an opportunity for public comment on 

this action, as notice and comment is 

unnecessary and contrary to the public 

interest. Such procedures are 

unnecessary because the regulation at 

50 CFR 622.22(a)(4) has already been 

subject to notice and public comment,
