Region; Amendment 37; Correction 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: NMFS published a final rule 

on July 25, 2017, to implement 

management measures described in 

Amendment 37 to the Fishery 

Management Plan for the SnapperGrouper Fishery of the South Atlantic 

Region (Amendment 37). This 

notification corrects the coordinate 

contained in footnote 2 to Table 1 in the 

regulatory text to be consistent with the 

same management boundary and 

coordinate described in other 

regulations applicable to the snappergrouper fishery. 

DATES: This correction notice is effective 

on August 24, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

25, 2017, NMFS published a final rule 

in the Federal Register (82 FR 34584) to 

implement management measures in 

Amendment 37. The final rule modifies 

the fishery management unit boundaries 

for hogfish in the South Atlantic by 

establishing two hogfish stocks, a 

Georgia through North Carolina (GA/ 

NC) stock and a Florida Keys/East 

Florida (FLK/EFL) stock; establishes a 

rebuilding plan for the FLK/EFL hogfish 

stock; specifies fishing levels and 

accountability measures (AMs), and 

modifies or establishes management 

measures for the GA/NC and FLK/EFL 

stocks of hogfish. The purpose of the 

final rule is to manage hogfish using the 

best scientific information available 

while ending overfishing and rebuilding 

the FLK/EFL hogfish stock. The final 

rule is effective August 24, 2017. 

Need for Correction 

As explained in the final rule for 

Amendment 37, NMFS corrected an 

error with the footnotes in Table 1 of 

§ 622.1. After the final rule published, 

NMFS discovered an additional error in 

one of those footnotes addressed in the 

final rule for Amendment 37. NMFS 

determined that a coordinate describing 

a management boundary for black sea 

bass and scup in footnote 2 was 

inaccurate and inconsistent with the 

same management boundary referenced 

in subpart I of part 622 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations. NMFS publishes 

this notification to correct that mistake. 

The coordinate in footnote 2 is intended 

to be ‘‘35°15.19′’’, not ‘‘35°15.9′’’. 

Corrections 

In the Federal Register on July 25, 

2017, in FR Doc. 2017–15588: 

1. On p. 34594, instruction 2 is 

corrected to read as follows: 

‘‘2. In § 622.1, revise the Table 1 entry 

for ‘‘FMP for the Snapper-Grouper 

Fishery of the South Atlantic Region,’’ 

revise the entry for footnote 2, and add 

footnote 8 to Table 1 to read as follows:’’ 

2. On page 34594, footnote 2 in Table 

1 to § 622.1 is corrected to read as 

follows: 

‘‘ 2Black sea bass and scup are not 

managed by the FMP or regulated by 

this part north of 35°15.19′ N. lat., the 

latitude of Cape Hatteras Light, NC.’’

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS implements 

accountability measures (AMs) for the 

recreational and commercial sectors for 

the Florida Keys/East Florida (FLK/EFL) 

hogfish stock in the exclusive economic 

zone (EEZ) for the 2017 fishing year 

through this temporary rule. NMFS 

estimates recreational and commercial 

hogfish landings for the FLK/EFL stock 

for the 2017 fishing year have reached 

their respective annual catch limits 

(ACLs). Therefore, NMFS closes the 

recreational and commercial sectors for 

the FLK/EFL stock of hogfish in the 

South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico EEZ 

on August 24, 2017, through the 

remainder of the 2017 fishing year. This 

closure is necessary to protect the FLK/ 

EFL hogfish resource. 

DATES: This rule is effective 12:01 a.m., 

local time, August 24, 2017, until 12:01 

a.m., local time, January 1, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

snapper-grouper fishery of the South 

Atlantic includes hogfish and is 

managed under the Fishery 

Management Plan for the SnapperGrouper Fishery of the South Atlantic 

Region (FMP). The FMP was prepared 

by the South Atlantic Fishery 

Management Council (Council) and is 

implemented by NMFS under the 

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by 

regulations at 50 CFR part 622. 

The final rule for Amendment 37 to 

the FMP established two stocks of 

hogfish with new stock boundaries 

under the jurisdiction of the Council (82 

FR 34584; July 25, 2017). One stock is 

the Georgia through North Carolina 

(GA/NC) hogfish stock, which has a 

southern boundary extending east from 

the Florida and Georgia state border to 

the seaward boundary of the EEZ. The 

GA/NC stock’s management area then 

extends northward to a line extending 

east from the North Carolina and 

Virginia state border to the seaward 

boundary of the EEZ. The other stock is 

the FLK/EFL hogfish stock. The FLK/ 

EFL hogfish stock’s management area 

extends south of 25°09′ N. latitude off 

the west coast of Florida in the Gulf of 

Mexico (near Cape Sable, Florida), east 

around South Florida, and then north 

off the east coast of Florida to a line 

extending east from the Florida/Georgia 

border to the seaward boundary of the 

EEZ. The final rule for Amendment 37 

also established ACLs and AMs for both 

stocks of hogfish. The management 

measures in the final rule for 

Amendment 37 are effective on August 

24, 2017. 

The final rule for Amendment 37 

established a recreational ACL of 15,689 

fish and a commercial ACL of 3,510 lb 

(1592 kg), round weight, for the FLK/ 

EFL hogfish stock for the 2017 fishing 

year. In accordance with regulations at 

50 CFR 622.193(u)(2)(i) and (ii), the 

recreational and commercial AMs for 

the FLK/EFL stock require an in-season 

closure of the respective sector if that 

sector’s ACL is met or is projected to be 

met, and NMFS is then required to close 

the applicable sector by filing a 

notification to that effect with the Office 

of the Federal Register. 

NMFS has determined that the 2017 

recreational and commercial ACLs for 

the FLK/EFL hogfish stock established 

by Amendment 37 have already been 

reached. This temporary rule 

implements AMs to close the 

recreational and commercial sectors for 

the FLK/EFL hogfish stock for the 

remainder of the 2017 fishing year. 

Accordingly, this AM closes the 

recreational and commercial sectors for 

the FLK/EFL stock of hogfish in the 

South Atlantic EEZ effective 12:01 a.m. 

local time, August 24, 2017, until 

January 1, 2018, the start of the next 

fishing year. As established in 

Amendment 37, harvest for the 

recreational sector reopens on May 1, 

2018, as recreational harvest is 

prohibited January through April and 

November through December each year. 

During recreational and commercial 

closures, the bag and possession limits 

for the FLK/EFL stock of hogfish in or 

from the EEZ are zero. 

Classification 

The Regional Administrator, 

Southeast Region, NMFS, has 

determined this temporary rule is 

necessary for the conservation and 

management of the FLK/EFL stock of 

hogfish in the South Atlantic snappergrouper fishery and is consistent with 

the Magnuson-Stevens Act and other 

applicable laws. 

This action is taken under 50 CFR 

622.193(u)(2)(i) and(ii) and is exempt 

from review under Executive Order 

12866. 

These measures are exempt from the 

procedures of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act because the temporary rule is issued 

without opportunity for prior notice and 

public comment. 

This action responds to the best 

scientific information available. The 

Assistant Administrator for NOAA 

Fisheries (AA) finds that the need to 

immediately implement this action to 

close the recreational and commercial 

sectors for the FLK/EFL stock of hogfish 

constitutes good cause to waive the 

requirements to provide prior notice 

and opportunity for public comment on 

this temporary rule pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), because such procedures are 

unnecessary and contrary to the public 

interest. Such procedures are 

unnecessary because the AMs 

established by Amendment 37 (82 FR 

34584, July 25, 2017) and located at 50 

CFR 622.193(u)(2)(i) and (ii) have 

already been subject to notice and 

public comment. All that remains is to 

notify the public of the recreational and 

commercial closures for the FLK/EFL 

stock of hogfish for the remainder of the 

2017 fishing year. Such procedures are 

contrary to the public interest because 

of the need to immediately implement 

this action to protect the FLK/EFL 

hogfish resource, since time for notice 

and public comment will allow for 

continued recreational and commercial 

harvest and further exceedance of the 

recreational and commercial ACLs. 

For the aforementioned reasons, the 

AA also finds good cause to waive the 

30-day delay in the effectiveness of this 

action under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
