				  sampling fair representations of the composition of the entire load or lot
				  which is sampled.
(b) To insure
				  reasonable calculation of fair representation of composition, subsamples shall

(a)
				  California Groundfish Restriction Areas. The California Groundfish Restriction
				  Areas minimize interaction with particular species of groundfish that cannot be
				  selectively avoided and must be protected by limiting or prohibiting fishing in
				  certain depths or areas for federal groundfish and all greenlings of the genus
Hexagrammos
and are defined as follows:
For state waters north of 36° N lat. (near Point Lopez,
					 Monterey County), the California Groundfish Restriction Area is established by
					 the mainland coast boundary defined in Title 14, CCR section 35.00 and the
					 shoreward Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) as defined in
					 Title 50, Code of Federal
					 Regulations, section 600.10.
(b) Except for purposes of continuous
				  transit, it is prohibited to take and retain or possess federal groundfish, as
				  defined in section
				  1.91, within the California
				  Groundfish Restriction Area. Continuous transit is defined as on a heading as
				  nearly as practicable to a direct route through a California Groundfish
				  Restriction Area or closed waters, while maintaining expeditious headway
				  throughout transit without delay and with fishing gear stowed and secured in
				  such a manner that it is rendered unusable for fishing.
(c) Seasonal closure periods and in-season
				  closures enacted due to quota attainment for groundfish, other than those
				  specified in 150.16(e)(5)(A), noticed in the Federal Register in Title 50, Code
				  of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 600 and 660 by the National Marine
				  Fisheries Service are extended to apply in state waters south of 36° N lat.
