[Docket No. 141021887–5172–02] 

RIN 0648–XE430 

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Pacific Cod by 

Catcher Vessels Less Than 60 Feet 

(18.3 Meters) Length Overall Using 

Hook-and-Line or Pot Gear 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 catcher vessels 

less than 60 feet (18.3 meters (m)) length 

overall (LOA) using hook-and-line or 

pot gear in the Bering Sea and Aleutian 

Islands management area (BSAI). This 

action is necessary to prevent exceeding 

the 2016 Pacific cod total allowable 

catch allocated to catcher vessels less 

than 60 feet (18.3 m) LOA using hookand-line or pot gear in the BSAI. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hours, Alaska 

local time (A.l.t.), February 5, 2016, 

through 2400 hours, A.l.t., December 31, 

2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh 

Keaton, 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 2016 Pacific cod total allowable 

catch (TAC) allocated to catcher vessels 

less than 60 feet (18.3 m) LOA using 

hook-and-line or pot gear in the BSAI is 

6,226 metric tons (mt) as established by 

the final 2015 and 2016 harvest 

specifications for groundfish in the 

BSAI (80 FR 11919, March 5, 2015), 

inseason adjustment (81 FR 184, January 

5, 2016), and reallocation (81 FR 5627, 

February 3, 2016).

7038 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 10, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

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

the Administrator, Alaska Region, 

NMFS (Regional Administrator), has 

determined that the 2016 Pacific cod 

TAC allocated as a directed fishing 

allowance to catcher vessels less than 60 

feet (18.3 m) LOA using hook-and-line 

or pot gear in the BSAI will soon be 

reached. Consequently, NMFS is 

prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific 

cod by catcher vessels less than 60 feet 

(18.3 m) LOA using hook-and-line or 

pot gear 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 directed fishing for 

Pacific cod by catcher vessels less than 

60 feet (18.3 m) LOA using hook-andline or pot gear 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 February 3, 2016. 

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. 

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

Dated: February 5, 2016.

Acting Director, Office of Sustainable 

Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
