DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration 

50 CFR Part 679 

[Docket No. 071106671–8010–02] 

RIN 0648–XJ66 

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Shallow-Water 

Species Fishery by Vessels Using 

Trawl Gear in the Gulf of Alaska 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed 

fishing for species that comprise the 

shallow-water species fishery by vessels 

using trawl gear in the Gulf of Alaska 

(GOA). This action is necessary because 

the third seasonal apportionment of the 

2008 Pacific halibut bycatch allowance 

specified for the shallow-water species 

fishery in the GOA has been reached. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local 

time (A.l.t.), August 7, 2008, through 

1200 hrs, A.l.t., September 1, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Hogan, 907–586–7228. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

manages the groundfish fishery in the 

GOA exclusive economic zone 

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 MagnusonStevens 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 third seasonal apportionment of 

the 2008 Pacific halibut bycatch 

allowance specified for the shallowwater species fishery in the GOA is 200 

metric tons as established by the 2008 

and 2009 harvest specifications for 

groundfish of the GOA (73 FR 10562, 

February 27, 2008), for the period 1200 

hrs, A.l.t., July 1, 2008, through 1200 

hrs, A.l.t., September 1, 2008. 

In accordance with § 679.21(d)(7)(i), 

the Administrator, Alaska Region, 

NMFS, has determined that the third 

seasonal apportionment of the 2008 

Pacific halibut bycatch allowance 

specified for the trawl shallow-water 

species fishery in the GOA has been 

reached. Consequently, NMFS is 

prohibiting directed fishing for the 

shallow-water species fishery by vessels 

using trawl gear in the GOA. The 


ebenthall on PRODPC60 with RULES
46822 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 12, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 

species and species groups that 

comprise the shallow-water species 

fishery are pollock, Pacific cod, shallowwater flatfish, flathead sole, Atka 

mackerel, skates and ‘‘other species.’’

This inseason action does not apply to 

fishing for pollock by vessels using 

pelagic trawl gear in those portions of 

the GOA open to directed fishing for 

pollock. This inseason action does not 

apply to vessels fishing under a 

cooperative quota permit in the 

cooperative fishery in the Rockfish Pilot 

Program for the Central GOA. 

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 the shallow-water 

species fishery by vessels using trawl 

gear in the GOA. NMFS was unable to 

publish a notice providing time for 

public comment because the most 

recent, relevant data only became 

available as of August 6, 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. 

This action is required by § 679.21 

and is exempt from review under 

Executive Order 12866. 

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

Dated: August 6, 2008.
