Fisheries of the Northeastern United 

States; Scup Fishery; Adjustment to 

the 2010 Winter II Quota 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; inseason 

adjustment. 

SUMMARY: NMFS adjusts the 2010 

Winter II commercial scup quota. This 

action complies with Framework 

Adjustment 3 (Framework 3) to the 

Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea 

Bass Fishery Management Plan, which 

established a process to allow the 

rollover of unused commercial scup 

quota from the Winter I period to the 

Winter II period. 

DATES: Effective September 7, 2010, 

through December 31, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sarah Heil, Fishery Management 

Specialist, (978) 281–9257. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

published a final rule in the Federal 

Register on November 3, 2003 (68 FR 

62250), implementing a process, for 

years in which the full Winter I 

commercial scup quota is not harvested, 

to allow unused quota from the Winter 

I period (January 1 through April 30) to 

be added to the quota for the Winter II 

period (November 1 through December 

31), and to allow adjustment of the 

commercial possession limits for the 

Winter II period commensurate with the 

amount of quota rolled over from the 

Winter I period. 

For 2010, the initial Winter II quota is 

1,701,695 lb (772 mt), and the best 

available landings information indicates 

that 76,256 lb (35 mt) remain of the 

Winter I quota of 4,815,775 lb (2,184 

mt). Consistent with the intent of 

Framework 3, the full amount of unused 

2010 Winter I quota is transferred to 

Winter II, resulting in a revised 2010 

Winter II quota of 1,777,951 lb (806 mt). 

Because the amount transferred is less 

than 499,999 lb (227 mt), the possession 

limit per trip will remain 2,000 lb (907 

kg) during the Winter II quota period, 

consistent with the final rule Winter I to 

Winter II possession limit increase table 

(table 4) published in the 2010 final 

scup specifications (74 FR 67978, 

December 22, 2009). 

Classification 

This action is required by 50 CFR part 

648 and is exempt from review under 

Executive Order 12866. 

The Assistant Administrator for 

Fisheries, NOAA (AA) finds good cause 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive 

prior notice and the opportunity for 

public comment on this in-season 

adjustment because it is impracticable 

and contrary to the public interest. The 

landings data upon which this action is 

based is not available on a real-time 

basis and were compiled only a short 

time before the determination was made 

that this action is warranted. If 

implementation of this in-season action 

is delayed to solicit prior public 

comment, the objective of the fishery 

management plan to achieve the 

optimum yield from the fishery could be 

compromised; deteriorating weather 

conditions during the later part of the 

fishery year will reduce fishing effort 

and could result in the annual quota 

from being fully harvested. This would 

conflict with the agency’s legal 

obligation under the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act to achieve the optimum yield from 

a fishery on a continuing basis. This 

will have a negative economic impact 

on vessels permitted to fish in this 

fishery. 

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

Fisheries of the Economic Exclusive 

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 fourth seasonal apportionment of 

the 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.), September 3, 2010, through 

1200 hrs, A.l.t., October 1, 2010.
