alternative mechanism in the public 

school district in which they are located 

and should use that school district’s 

level of poverty to determine their 

discount rate when applying as a library 

system or as an individual library outlet 

within that system. When a library 

system has branches or outlets in more 

than one public school district, that 

library system and all library outlets 

within that system should use the 

address of the central outlet or main 

administrative office to determine 

which school district the library system 

is in, and should use that school 

district’s level of poverty to determine 

its discount rate when applying as a 

library system or as one or more library 

outlets. If the library is not in a school 

district, then its level of poverty shall be 

based on an average of the percentage of 

students eligible for the national school 

lunch program in each of the school 

districts that children living in the 

library’s location attend.

[Docket No. 130925836–4174–02] 

RIN 0648–XD626 

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Thornyhead Rockfish 

in the Western Regulatory Area of the 

Gulf of Alaska 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting retention 

of thornyhead rockfish in the Western 

Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska 

(GOA). This action is necessary because 

the 2014 total allowable catch of 

thornyhead rockfish in the Western 

Regulatory Area of the GOA will be 

reached. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hours, Alaska 

local time (A.l.t.), November 13, 2014, 

through 2400 hours, A.l.t., December 31, 

2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mary Furuness, 907–586–7228. 

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. 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 2014 total allowable catch (TAC) 

of thornyhead rockfish in the Western 

Regulatory Area of the GOA is 235 

metric tons (mt) as established by the 

final 2014 and 2015 harvest 

specifications for groundfish of the GOA 

(79 FR 12890, March 6, 2014). 

In accordance with § 679.20(d)(2), the 

Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS 

(Regional Administrator), has 

determined that the 2014 TAC of 

thornyhead rockfish in the Western 

Regulatory Area of the GOA will be 

reached. Therefore, NMFS is requiring 

that thornyhead rockfish caught in the 

Western Regulatory Area of the GOA be 

treated as prohibited species in 

accordance with § 679.21(b). 

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 prohibiting the retention of 

thornyhead rockfish in the Western 

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 November 12, 2014. 

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 § 679.21 and is exempt from review 

under Executive Order 12866. 

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

Dated: November 13, 2014.

Acting Director, Office of Sustainable 

Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
