[Docket No. 160920866–7167–02] 

RIN 0648–XF573 

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Sablefish in the West 

Yakutat District of 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 retention 

of sablefish by vessels using trawl gear 

in the West Yakutat District of the Gulf 

of Alaska (GOA). This action is 

necessary because the 2017 total 

allowable catch of sablefish allocated to 

vessels using trawl gear in the West 

Yakutat District of the GOA will be 

reached. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hours, Alaska 

local time (A.l.t.), August 9, 2017, 

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

2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Steve Whitney, 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 2017 total allowable catch (TAC) 

of sablefish allocated to vessels using 

trawl gear in the West Yakutat District 

of the GOA is 211 metric tons (mt) as 

established by the final 2017 and 2018 

harvest specifications for groundfish of 

the GOA (82 FR 12032, February 27, 

2017). 

In accordance with § 679.20(d)(2), the 

Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS 

(Regional Administrator), has 

determined that the 2017 TAC of 

sablefish allocated to vessels using trawl 

gear in the West Yakutat District of the 

GOA will be reached. Therefore, NMFS 

is requiring that sablefish caught by 

vessels using trawl gear in the West 

Yakutat District of the GOA be treated 

as prohibited species in accordance 

with § 679.21(b). 

Classification 

This action responds to the best 

available information recently obtained 

from the fishery. The Acting 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 prohibiting the retention of 

sablefish by vessels using trawl gear in 

the West Yakutat District of 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 8, 

2017. 

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 § 679.21 and is exempt from review 

under Executive Order 12866. 

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

Dated: August 9, 2017. 

Emily H. Menashes, 

Acting Director, Office of Sustainable 

Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
