Fisheries off West Coast States and in

the Western Pacific; West Coast

Salmon Fisheries; Closures and

Reopenings From the U.S.-Canada

Border To Cape Falcon, Oregon

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Closures and reopenings.

SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the

commercial salmon fishery in the area

from the U.S.-Canada border to Cape

Falcon, Oregon, was closed at midnight,

May 12, 1998, and then reopened on

May 20 through May 23, and again

reopened on June 2 through June 4,

1998, with each vessel allowed to

possess, land, and deliver no more than

75 salmon for the open period of May

20 through May 23, and no more than

50 salmon for the open period of June

2 through June 4. This action was

necessary to conform to the 1998

management measures and was

intended to ensure conservation of

chinook salmon as well as maximize the

harvest of chinook salmon without

exceeding the ocean share allocated to

the commercial fishery in this area.

DATES: Closure effective 2400 hours

local time, May 12, 1998, through 2400

hours local time, May 19, 1998. First

reopening effective 0001 hours local

time, May 20, 1998, through 2400 hours

local time, May 23, 1998, after which

time the season remains closed under

terms of the 1998 management

measures. Second reopening effective

0001 hours local time, June 2, 1998,

through 2400 hours local time, June 4,

1998, after which time the season

remains closed under terms of the 1998

management measures. Comments will

be accepted through June 30, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

William Stelle, Jr., Regional

Administrator, Northwest Region,

National Marine Fisheries Service,

NOAA, 7600 Sand Point Way NE.,

Building 1, Seattle, WA 98115–0070.

Information relevant to this document is

available for public review during

business hours at the office of the

Regional Administrator, Northwest

Region, NMFS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulations governing the ocean salmon

fisheries at 50 CFR 660.409(a)(1) state

that when a quota for the commercial or

the recreational fishery, or both, for any

salmon species in any portion of the

fishery management area is projected by

the Regional Administrator to be

reached on or by a certain date, NMFS

will, by an inseason action issued under

50 CFR 660.411, close the commercial

or recreational fishery, or both, for all

salmon species in the portion of the

fishery management area to which the

quota applies as of the date the quota is

projected to be reached.

In the 1998 management measures for

ocean salmon fisheries (63 FR 24973,

May 6, 1998), NMFS announced that the

commercial fishery in the area between

the U.S.-Canada border to Cape Falcon,

Oregon, would open on May 1 and

continue through June 15 or attainment

of the 6,500 chinook salmon quota,

whichever occurred first. Following the

closure of this fishery, vessels must land

and deliver the salmon within 48 hours

of the closure.

The best available information on

May 11 indicated that the catch and

effort data and projections supported

closure of the commercial fishery in this

area at midnight, May 12. The projected

catch was under the 6,500 chinook

salmon quota, but was close enough that
