50 CFR Part 679 

[Docket No. 131021878–4158–02] 

RIN 0648–XD744 

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Atka Mackerel 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 Atka mackerel in the Eastern 

Aleutian district and the Bering Sea 

subarea (BSEAI) of the Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Island management area 

(BSAI) by vessels participating in the 

BSAI trawl limited access fishery. This 

action is necessary to prevent exceeding 

the A season allowance of the 2015 Atka 

mackerel total allowable catch (TAC) in 

the BSEAI allocated to vessels 

participating in the BSAI trawl limited 

access fishery. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local 

time (A.l.t.), January 27, 2015, through 

1200 hrs, A.l.t., June 10, 2015. 

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 A season allowance of the 2015 

Atka mackerel TAC, in the BSEAI, 

allocated to vessels participating in the 

BSAI trawl limited access fishery was 

established as a directed fishing 

allowance of 1,150 metric tons by the 

final 2014 and 2015 harvest 

specifications for groundfish in the 

BSAI (79 FR 12108, March 4, 2014), and 

as adjusted by an inseason adjustment 

(80 FR 188, January 5, 2015). 

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

the Administrator, Alaska Region, 

NMFS, finds that this directed fishing 

allowance has been reached. 

Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting 

directed fishing for Atka mackerel in the 

BSEAI by vessels participating in the 

BSAI trawl limited access fishery. 

After the effective dates of this 

closure, 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 Acting 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 a 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 fishing closure of the 

Atka mackerel fishery in the BSEAI for 

vessels participating in the BSAI trawl 

limited access fishery. NMFS was 

unable to publish a notice providing 

time for public comment because the 

most recent, relevant data only became 

available as of January 26, 2015. The AA 

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 and opportunity for public 

comment. 

This action is required by § 679.20 

and is exempt from review under 

Executive Order 12866. 

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