[Docket No. 950206041–5041–01; I.D. 031595B] Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska; Vessels Using Hook-and-Line Gear AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce. ACTION: Closure. SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed

fishing for groundfish by vessels using hook-and-line gear in the Gulf of Alaska

(GOA), except for demersal shelf rockfish (DSR) in the Southeast Outside district and sablefish. This action is necessary because the first seasonal bycatch allowance of Pacific halibut apportioned to hook-and-line gear in the GOA for the 1995 fishing year has been

reached. EFFECTIVE DATE: 12 noon, Alaska local

time (A.l.t.), March 16, 1995, until 12 noon, A.l.t., May 18, 1995. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew N. Smoker, 907–586-7228. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

groundfish fishery in the GOA exclusive

economic zone is managed by NMFS

according to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North

Pacific Fishery Management Council under authority of the Magnuson

Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Fishing by U.S. vessels is governed

by regulations implementing the FMP at 50 CFR parts 620 and 672. In accordance with

§ 672.20(f)(1)(ii)(A), the 1995 Pacific halibut bycatch allowance for hook-andline gear for groundfish fisheries in the GOA, other than DSR in the Southeast Outside district, was established by the

final groundfish specifications (60 FR

8470, February 14, 1995), as 740 metric

tons (mt). The first seasonal allocation

of that allowance is 200 mt. GOA hook- and-line gear sablefish fisheries are

exempted from halibut bycatch

restrictions (60 FR 12149, March 6, 1995), as amended by a document published on March 21, 1995 in the Federal Register. The Director, Alaska Region, NMFS, has determined, in accordance with

§ 672.20(f)(3)(ii)(A), that the catch of Pacific halibut by operators of vessels using hook-and-line gear in groundfish

fisheries other than the directed fishery

for DSR in the Southeast Outside District has reached the first seasonal bycatch allowance of Pacific halibut. Therefore, NMFS is prohibiting directed

fishing for groundfish by vessels using hook-and-line gear in the GOA, except

this prohibition does not apply to

vessels engaged in directed fishing for DSR in the Southeast Outside district or

to vessels engaged in directed fishing for sablefish. Directed fishing standards for applicable gear types may be found in

the regulations at § 672.20(g).

Classification This action is taken under 50 CFR

672.20 and is exempt from review under E.O. 12866. Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. Dated: March 16, 1995. David S. Crestin, Acting Director, Office of Fisheries Conservation and Management, National Marine Fisheries Service. [FR Doc. 95–6942 Filed 3–16–95; 4:18 pm] BILLING CODE 3510–22–F

[Docket No. 950206041–5041–01; I.D. 031695B] Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska; Pacific Cod for Processing by the

Inshore Component in the Western Regulatory Area AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce. ACTION: Closure. SUMMARY: NMFS is closing the directed

fishery for Pacific cod by vessels catching Pacific cod for processing by

the inshore component in the Western Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska

(GOA). This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the allocation of Pacific cod for the inshore component

in this area. EFFECTIVE DATE: 12 noon, Alaska local

time (A.l.t.), March 17, 1995, until 12 midnight, A.l.t., December 31, 1995. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew N. Smoker, 907–586-7228. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

groundfish fishery in the GOA exclusive
