SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Correction 

The final rule that is the subject of 

this correction was published Thursday, 

January 3, 2008 (73 FR 406). The final 

rule. That final rule contains an 

amendatory instruction that is no longer 

needed. Amendatory instruction 9 

removes the last sentence of paragraph 

(a)(2) in § 622.9, however, a final rule 

published on December 27, 2007 (72 FR 

73270) revises this same paragraph. 

Therefore, on page 410, in the last 

column, amendatory instruction 9 is 

removed. All other information remains 

unchanged and will not be repeated in 

this correction.

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. 

In accordance with 

§ 679.20(a)(8)(iii)(A), owners and 

operators of vessels using trawl gear for 

directed fishing for Atka mackerel in the 

HLA are required to register with 

NMFS. Four vessels have registered 

with NMFS to fish in the A season HLA 

fisheries in areas 542 and/or 543. In 

accordance with § 679.20(a)(8)(iii)(B), 

the Administrator, Alaska Region, 

NMFS, has randomly assigned each 

vessel to the HLA directed fishery for 

Atka mackerel for which they have 

registered and is now notifying each 

vessel of its assignment. 

For the Amendment 80 cooperative, 

the vessel authorized to participate in 

the first HLA directed fishery in area 

542 and the second HLA directed 

fishery in area 543 in accordance with 

§ 679.20(a)(8)(iii) is as follows: Federal 

Fishery Permit number (FFP) 3835 

Seafisher. 

For the Amendment 80 limited access 

sector, vessels authorized to participate 

in the first HLA directed fishery in area 

542 and in the second HLA directed 

fishery in area 543 in accordance with 

§ 679.20(a)(8)(iii) are as follows: Federal 

Fishery Permit number (FFP) 4093 

Alaska Victory and FFP 3819 Alaska 

Spirit. 

For the Amendment 80 limited access 

sector, the vessel authorized to 

participate in the first HLA directed 

fishery in area 543 and the second HLA 

directed fishery in area 542 in 

accordance with § 679.20(a)(8)(iii) is as 

follows: FFP 3423 Alaska Warrior. 

Classification 

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 unnecessary. This notice 

merely advises the owners of these 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 12 / Thursday, January 17, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 3219 

vessels of the results of a random 

assignment required by regulation. The 

notice needs to occur immediately to 

notify the owner of each vessel of its 

assignment to allow these vessel owners 

to plan for participation in the A season 

HLA fisheries in area 542 and area 543. 

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 is exempt from review under 

Executive Order 12866.
