Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Exchange of Flatfish 

in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

Management Area 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; reallocation. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is exchanging unused 

flathead sole and rock sole Community 

Development Quota (CDQ) for yellowfin 

sole CDQ acceptable biological catch 

(ABC) reserves in the Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Islands management area. This 

action is necessary to allow the 2017 

total allowable catch of yellowfin sole in 

the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

management area to be harvested. 

DATES: Effective October 18, 2017 

through December 31, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Steve Whitney, 907–586–7228. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

manages the groundfish fishery in the 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

management area (BSAI) according to 

the Fishery Management Plan for 

Groundfish of the Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Islands Management Area 

(FMP) prepared by the North Pacific 

Fishery Management Council under 

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 200 / Wednesday, October 18, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 48461 

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 flathead sole, rock sole, and 

yellowfin sole CDQ reserves specified in 

the BSAI are 1,463 metric tons (mt), 

5,490 mt, and 16,117 mt as established 

by the final 2017 and 2018 harvest 

specifications for groundfish in the 

BSAI (82 FR 11826, February 27, 2017) 

and revised by flatfish exchange (82 FR 

46422, October 5, 2017). The 2017 

flathead sole, rock sole, and yellowfin 

sole CDQ ABC reserves are 5,843 mt, 

11,106 mt and 11,789 mt as established 

by the final 2017 and 2018 harvest 

specifications for groundfish in the 

BSAI (82 FR 11826, February 27, 2017) 

and revised by flatfish exchange (82 FR 

46422, October 5, 2017). 

The Norton Sound Economic 

Development Corporation has requested 

that NMFS exchange 175 mt of flathead 

sole CDQ reserves and 180 mt of rock 

sole CDQ reserves for 355 mt of 

yellowfin sole CDQ ABC reserves under 

§ 679.31(d). Therefore, in accordance 

with § 679.31(d), NMFS exchanges 175 

mt of flathead sole CDQ reserves and 

180 mt of rock sole CDQ reserves for 355 

mt of yellowfin sole CDQ ABC reserves 

in the BSAI. This action also decreases 

and increases the TACs and CDQ ABC 

reserves by the corresponding amounts. 

Tables 11 and 13 of the final 2017 and 

2018 harvest specifications for 

groundfish in the BSAI (82 FR 11826, 

February 27, 2017), and revised by 

flatfish exchange (82 FR 46422, October 

5, 2017), are further revised as follows:

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 flatfish exchange by the 

Norton Sound Economic Development 

Corporation in the BSAI. Since these 

fisheries are currently open, it is 

important to immediately inform the 

industry as to the revised allocations. 

Immediate notification is necessary to 

allow for the orderly conduct and 

efficient operation of this fishery, to 

allow the industry to plan for the fishing 

season, and to avoid potential 

disruption to the fishing fleet as well as 

processors. NMFS was unable to 

publish a notice providing time for 

public comment because the most 

recent, relevant data only became 

available as of October 10, 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 is exempt from review under 

Executive Order 12866. 

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