50 CFR Part 622 

[Docket No. 140501394–5279–02; RTID 

0648–XB269] 

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of 

Mexico, and South Atlantic; 2021 

Commercial Accountability Measure 

and Closure for South Atlantic Blueline 

Tilefish 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS implements an 

accountability measure (AM) for 

commercial blueline tilefish in the 

exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the 

South Atlantic. Commercial landings of 

blueline tilefish are projected to reach 

the commercial sector annual catch 

limit (ACL) by August 1, 2021. 

Therefore, NMFS is closing the 

commercial sector for blueline tilefish 

in the South Atlantic EEZ on August 1, 

2021, and it will remain closed until the 

start of the next fishing year on January 

1, 2022. This closure is necessary to 

protect the blueline tilefish resource. 

DATES: This temporary rule is effective 

at 12:01 a.m., eastern time, on August 1, 

2021, until 12:01 a.m., eastern time, on 

January 1, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick 

DeVictor, NMFS Southeast Regional 

Office, telephone: 727–824–5305, email: 

rick.devictor@noaa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

snapper-grouper fishery of the South 

Atlantic includes blueline tilefish and is 

managed under the Fishery 

Management Plan for the SnapperGrouper Fishery of the South Atlantic 

Region (FMP). The South Atlantic 

Fishery Management Council and 

NMFS prepared the FMP, and the FMP 

is implemented by NMFS under the 

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by 

regulations at 50 CFR part 622. All 

weights in this temporary rule are given 

in round weight. 

As specified at 50 CFR 

622.193(z)(1)(i), the commercial sector 

ACL for blueline tilefish is 117,148 lb 

(53,137 kg). The commercial AM for 

blueline tilefish requires NMFS to close 

the commercial sector when the its ACL 

is reached, or is projected to be reached, 

by filing a notification to that effect with 

the Office of the Federal Register (50 

CFR 622.193(z)(1)(i)). NMFS has 

projected that for the 2021 fishing year, 

the commercial sector ACL for South 

Atlantic blueline tilefish will be reached 

by August 1, 2021. Accordingly, the 

commercial sector for South Atlantic 

blueline tilefish is closed effective at 

12:01 a.m., eastern time, on August 1, 

2021, until 12:01 a.m., eastern time, on 

January 1, 2022. 

The operator of a vessel with a valid 

Federal commercial vessel permit for 

South Atlantic snapper-grouper having 

blueline tilefish on board must have 

landed and bartered, traded, or sold 

such blueline tilefish prior to August 1, 

2021. During the commercial sector 

closure, all sale or purchase of blueline 

tilefish is prohibited. The harvest or 

possession of blueline tilefish in or from 

the South Atlantic EEZ is limited to the 

recreational bag and possession limits 

specified in 50 CFR 622.187(b)(2) and 

(c)(1), respectively, while the 

recreational sector for blueline tilefish is 

open. These bag and possession limits 

apply in the South Atlantic on board a 

vessel with a valid Federal commercial 

or charter vessel/headboat permit for 

South Atlantic snapper-grouper, and 

apply to the harvest of blueline tilefish 

in both state and Federal waters. 

Classification 

NMFS issues this action pursuant to 

section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Act. This action is required by 50 CFR 

622.193(z)(1)(i)), which was issued 

pursuant to section 304(b) of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act, 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 is 

unnecessary and contrary to the public 

interest. Such procedures are 

unnecessary because the regulations 

associated with the closure of the 

blueline tilefish commercial sector at 50 

CFR 622.193(z)(1)(i) have already been 

subject to notice and public comment, 

and all that remains is to notify the 

public of the closure. Prior notice and 

opportunity for public comment are 

contrary to the public interest because 

there is a need to immediately 

implement this action to protect 

blueline tilefish, since the capacity of 

the fishing fleet allows for rapid harvest 

of the commercial sector ACL. Prior 

notice and opportunity for public 

comment would require time and would 

potentially result in a harvest well in 

excess of the established commercial 

sector ACL. 

For the aforementioned reasons, the 

Acting Assistant Administrator also 

finds good cause to waive the 30-day 

delay in the effectiveness of this action 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). 

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

Dated: July 26, 2021.
