consistent with these priorities and

principles. An assessment of the costs

and benefits of available regulatory

alternatives (including not regulating)

demonstrated that the approach taken in

the regulation is the most cost effective

and least burdensome while still

achieving the regulatory objectives.

This final rule would require States to

submit information regarding their

Groundfish of the Bering Sea and

Aleutian Islands Area; Pacific Ocean

Perch in the Aleutian Islands Subarea

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Closure.

SUMMARY: NMFS is closing the directed

fishery for Pacific ocean perch (POP) in

the Aleutian Islands subarea (AI) of the

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands

management area (BSAI). This action is

necessary to prevent exceeding the POP

total allowable catch (TAC) in the AI.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective 12 noon,

Alaska local time (A.l.t.), April 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 BSAI exclusive

economic zone is managed by NMFS

according to the Fishery Management

Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the

Bering Sea Aleutian Islands Area (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 675.

In accordance with § 675.20(a)(7)(ii)

the POP TAC for the AI was established

by the final groundfish specifications

(60 FR 8479, February 14, 1995) as 8,925

metric tons (mt).

The Director, Alaska Region, NMFS

(Regional Director), has determined, in

accordance with § 675.20(a)(8), that the

POP TAC in the AI soon will be

reached. Therefore, the Regional

Director has established a directed

fishing allowance of 6,925 mt, with

consideration that 2,000 mt will be

taken as incidental catch in directed

fishing for other species in the AI. The

Regional Director has determined that

the directed fishing allowance has been

reached. Consequently, NMFS is

prohibiting directed fishing for POP in

the AI.

Directed fishing standards for

applicable gear types may be found in

the regulations at § 675.20(h).

Classification

This action is taken under § 675.20

and is exempt from review under E.O.

12866.

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

Dated: April 17, 1985.

Richard W. Surdi,

Acting Director, Office of Fisheries

Conservation and Management, National

Marine Fisheries Service.
