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 (Magnuson-Stevens 

Act). Regulations governing fishing by 

U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP 

appear at subpart H of 50 CFR parts 600 

and 679. 

NMFS closed directed fishing for 

Pacific cod by catcher vessels using 

trawl gear in the Central Regulatory 

Area of the GOA on January 20, 2024. 

NMFS has determined that as of January 

29, 2024, approximately 3,867 metric 

tons of Pacific cod remain of the A 

season allowance of the 2024 Pacific 

cod apportionment for catcher vessels 

using trawl gear in the Central 

Regulatory Area of the GOA. Therefore, 

in accordance with § 679.25(a)(1)(i), 

(a)(2)(i)(C), and (a)(2)(iii)(D), and to fully 

use the A season allowance of the of the 

2024 TAC of Pacific cod apportioned to 

catcher vessels using trawl gear in the 

Central Regulatory Area of the GOA, 

NMFS is terminating the previous 

closure and is opening directed fishing 

for Pacific cod by catcher vessels using 

trawl gear in the Central Regulatory 

Area of the GOA. The Administrator, 

Alaska Region, NMFS (Regional 

Administrator), considered the 

following factors in reaching this 

decision: (1) the current catch of Pacific 

cod by catcher vessels using trawl gear 

in the Central Regulatory Area of the 

GOA; and (2) the harvest capacity and 

stated intent on future harvesting 

patterns of vessels in participating in 

this fishery. 

Classification 

NMFS issues this action pursuant to 

section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Act. This action is required by 50 CFR 

part 679, which was issued pursuant to 

section 304(b), and is exempt from 

review under Executive Order 12866. 

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 

would be impracticable and contrary to 

the public interest, as it would prevent 

NMFS from responding to the most 

recent fisheries data in a timely fashion, 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
8082 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 6, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

and would delay the opening of directed 

fishing for Pacific cod by catcher vessels 

using trawl gear 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 January 31, 2024. 

The Assistant Administrator for 

Fisheries, NOAA 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 prior notice. 

Without this inseason adjustment, 

NMFS could not allow the fishery for 

Pacific cod by catcher vessels catcher 

vessels using trawl gear in the Central 

Regulatory Area of the GOA to be 

harvested in an expedient manner and 

in accordance with the regulatory 

schedule. Under § 679.25(c)(2), 

interested persons are invited to submit 

written comments on this action to the 

above address until February 21, 2024. 

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

Dated: January 31, 2024.
