Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Pacific Cod by Trawl 

Catcher Processors in the Amendment 

80 Limited Access Fishery 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 Pacific cod by trawl catcher 

processors participating in the 

Amendment 80 limited access fishery in 

the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

management area (BSAI). This action is 

necessary to prevent exceeding the 2008 

Pacific cod allowable catch (TAC) 

specified for trawl catcher processors 

participating in the Amendment 80 

limited access fishery in the BSAI. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local 

time (A.l.t.), June 25, 2008, through 

2400 hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Hogan, 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 2008 Pacific cod TAC allocated to 

vessels participating in the Amendment 

80 limited access fishery in the BSAI is 

3,295 metric tons (mt) as established by 

the 2008 and 2009 final harvest 

specifications for groundfish in the 

BSAI (73 FR 10160, February 26, 2008). 

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

the Administrator, Alaska Region, 

NMFS (Regional Administrator), has 

determined that the 2008 Pacific cod 

TAC allocated to trawl catcher 

processors participating in the 

Amendment 80 limited access fishery in 

the BSAI will be caught as incidental 

catch in directed fisheries for other 

groundfish. Therefore, the Regional 

Administrator is establishing a directed 

fishing allowance of 0 mt and is setting 

aside the remaining 3,295 mt as 

incidental catch to support other 

anticipated groundfish fisheries. In 

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

Regional Administrator finds that this 

directed fishing allowance has been 

reached. Consequently, NMFS is 

prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific 

cod by trawl catcher processors 

participating in the Amendment 80 

limited access fishery in the BSAI. 

After the effective date 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 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 the closure of Pacific cod by trawl 

catcher processors participating in the 

Amendment 80 limited access fishery in 

the BSAI. NMFS was unable to publish 

a notice providing time for public 

comment because the most recent, 

relevant data only became available as 

of June 24, 2008. 

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.
