This action closes the Georges
Bank cod Trimester Total Allowable
Catch Area for the remainder of
Trimester 1, through August 31, 2014.
Based on our projection, the common
pool fishery has caught over 90 percent
of its Georges Bank cod Trimester 1 total
allowable catch triggering the regulatory
requirement to close the area for the
remainder of the trimester. This action
is intended to prevent an overage of the
common pool’s annual quota of Georges
Bank cod.
DATES: This action is effective August
18, 2014, through August 31, 2014.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 162 / Thursday, August 21, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
the Regional Administrator to close a
common pool Trimester Total
Allowable Catch (TAC) Area for a stock
when 90 percent of the Trimester TAC
is projected to be caught. In such cases,
the Trimester TAC Area for a stock
closes to all common pool vessels
fishing with gear capable of catching
that stock for the remainder of the
trimester. The fishing year 2014 (May 1,
2014, through April 30, 2015) common
pool sub-annual catch limit (sub-ACL)
for Georges Bank (GB) cod is 31.0 mt
and the Trimester 1 (May 1, 2014,
through August 31, 2014) TAC is 8.3 mt.
Based on the most recent data and
information, which include vessel trip
reports, dealer-reported landings, and
vessel monitoring system information,
we have determined that 118 percent of
the Trimester 1 TAC was caught as of
August 14, 2014. Because of the low
trimester catch limit and the rate at
which common pool vessel can harvest
GB cod, it was not possible to initiate
this action closer to the point at this 90
percent of the catch limit was harvested.
Therefore, effective August 18, 2014, the
GB cod Trimester TAC Area is closed
for the remainder of Trimester 1,
through August 31, 2014, to all common
pool vessels fishing with trawl gear,
sink gillnet gear, and longline/hook
gear. Effective August 21, 2014, it is
unlawful for common pool vessels to
fish for, harvest, possess, or land
regulated species or ocean pout in or
from the GB cod Trimester TAC Area.
The GB cod Trimester TAC Area
includes statistical areas 521, 522, 525,
and 561. The GB cod Trimester TAC
Area will reopen to common pool
vessels fishing with trawl, sink gillnet,
and longline/hook gear at the beginning
of Trimester 2, on September 1, 2014.
Any overages of a trimester TAC will
be deducted from Trimester 3, and any
overages of the common pool’s sub-ACL
at the end of the fishing year will be
deducted from the common pool’s subACL the following fishing year. Any
uncaught portion of the Trimester 1 and
Trimester 2 TAC will be carried over
into the next trimester. Any uncaught
portion of the common pool’s sub-ACL
may not be carried over into the
following fishing year. Weekly quota
monitoring reports for the common pool
fishery can be found on our Web site at:
https://www.nero.noaa.gov/ro/fso/
MultiMonReports.htm. We will continue
to monitor common pool catch through
vessel trip reports, dealer-reported
landings, vessel monitoring system
catch reports, and other available
information and, if necessary, we will
make additional adjustments to
common pool management measures.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic

ACTION: Temporary rule; reallocation.

NMFS is reallocating the
projected unused amount of Pacific cod
from vessels using jig gear, catcher
vessels greater than or equal to 60 feet
(18.3 meters) length overall (LOA) using
hook-and-line gear, and catcher vessels
using trawl gear to catcher vessels less
than 60 feet (18.3 meters) LOA using
hook-and-line or pot gear in the Bering
Sea and Aleutian Islands management
area. This action is necessary to allow
the 2014 total allowable catch of Pacific
cod to be harvested.
DATES: Effective August 19, 2014,
through 2400 hours, Alaska local time
(A.l.t.), December 31, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Obren Davis, 907–586–7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (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
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 2014 Pacific cod total allowable
catch (TAC) specified for vessels using
jig gear in the BSAI is 1,474 metric tons
(mt) as established by the final 2014 and
2015 harvest specifications for
groundfish in the BSAI (79 FR 12108,
March 4, 2014) and one inseason
adjustment (79 FR 6837, February 5,
2014).
The Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS, (Regional Administrator) has
determined that jig vessels will not be
able to harvest 1,373 mt of the
remaining 2014 Pacific cod TAC
allocated to those vessels under
§ 679.20(a)(7)(ii)(A)(1). Therefore, in
accordance with § 679.20(a)(7)(ii)(A),
NMFS apportions 1,373 mt of Pacific
cod to the annual amount specified for
catcher vessels less than 60 feet LOA
using hook-and-line or pot gear.
The 2014 Pacific cod TAC specified
for catcher vessels greater than or equal
to 60 feet LOA using hook-and-line gear
in the BSAI is 452 mt as established by
the final 2014 and 2015 harvest
specifications for groundfish in the
BSAI (79 FR 12108, March 4, 2014). The
Regional Administrator has determined
that catcher vessels greater than or equal
to 60 feet LOA using hook-and-line gear
will not be able to harvest 427 mt of the
remaining 2014 Pacific cod TAC
allocated to those vessels under
§ 679.20(a)(7)(ii)(A)(3). Therefore, in
accordance with § 679.20(a)(7)(iii)(A),
SUMMARY:
This action is required by 50 CFR part
648 and is exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866.
The Assistant Administrator for
Fisheries, NOAA, finds good cause
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to waive prior notice
and the opportunity for public comment
and the 30-day delayed effectiveness
period because it would be
impracticable and contrary to the public
interest.
The Trimester TAC Area closure is
required by regulation in order to
reduce the probability of the common
pool fishery exceeding its sub-ACL of
GB cod. Any overages of the common
pool’s sub-ACLs would undermine
conservation objectives and trigger the
implementation of accountability
measures that would have negative
economic impacts on common pool
vessels. The data and information
showing that GB cod had exceeded 90
percent of the Trimester 1 TAC for the
stock only became available recently.
The time necessary to provide for prior
notice and comment, and a 30-day delay
in effectiveness, would prevent NMFS
from implementing the necessary
Trimester TAC Area closure for GB cod
in a timely manner, which could
undermine management objectives of
the Northeast Multispecies Fishery
Management Plan, and cause negative
economic impacts to the common pool
fishery.
