50 CFR Part 679

[Docket No. 971208297-8054-02; I.D.

041498B]

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic

Zone Off Alaska; Pollock in the Eastern

Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Closure.

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting retention

of pollock in the Eastern Regulatory

Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). NMFS

is requiring that catch of pollock in this

area be treated in the same manner as

prohibited species and discarded at sea

with a minimum of injury. This action

is necessary because the amount of the

1998 total allowable catch (TAC) of

pollock in this area has been reached.

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local

time (A.l.t.), April 18, 1998, until 2400

hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Thomas Pearson 907-486-6919.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

groundfish fishery in the GOA exclusive

economic zone is managed by NMFS

according to the Fishery Management

Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the

Gulf of Alaska (FMP) prepared by the

North Pacific Fishery Management

Council under authority of the

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

Conservation and Management Act.

Fishing by U.S. vessels is governed by

regulations implementing the FMP at

subpart H of 50 CFR part 600 and 50

CFR part 679.

The amount of the 1998 TAC of

pollock in the Eastern Regulatory Area

of the GOA was established as 5,580

metric tons by the Final 1998 Harvest

Specifications of Groundfish for the

GOA (63 FR 12027, March 12, 1998).

See § 679.20(c)(3)(ii).

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

Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS,

has determined that the amount of the

1998 TAC for pollock in the Eastern

Regulatory Area of the GOA has been

reached. Therefore, NMFS is requiring

that further catches of pollock in the

Eastern 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. It must be

implemented immediately to prevent

overharvesting the amount of the 1998

TAC for pollock in the Eastern

Regulatory Area of the GOA. A delay in

the effective date is impracticable and

contrary to the public interest. The fleet

has taken the amount of the 1998 TAC

for pollock in the Eastern Regulatory

Area of the GOA. Further delay would

only result in overharvest and disrupt

the FMP’s objective of not exceeding the

TAC throughout the year. NMFS finds

for good cause that the implementation

of this action cannot be delayed for 30

days. Accordingly, under 5 U.S.C.

553(d), a delay in the effective date is

hereby waived.

This action is required by § 679.20

and is exempt from review under E.O.

12866.

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

Dated: April 15, 1998.

Bruce C. Morehead,

Acting Director, Office of Sustainable

Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
