Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic
Zone Off Alaska; Atka Mackerel in the
Central Aleutian District
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Closure.
SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed
fishing for Atka mackerel in the Central
Aleutian District of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands management area
(BSAI). This action is necessary to
prevent exceeding the interim 2005 total
allowable catch (TAC) of Atka mackerel
specified for the Central Aleutian
District.
DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local
time (A.l.t.), February 17, 2005, until
superseded by the notice of final 2005
and 2006 harvest specifications of
groundfish for the BSAI, which will be
published in the Federal Register.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh
Keaton, 907–586–7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
8749
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 interim 2005 TAC of Atka
mackerel in the Central Aleutian District
of the BSAI is 13,218 metric tons (mt)
as established by the interim 2005
harvest specifications for groundfish of
the BSAI (69 FR 76780, December 23,
2004).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS (Regional Administrator), has
determined that the interim 2005 TAC
specified for Atka mackerel in the
Central Aleutian District will be
reached. Therefore, the Regional
Administrator is establishing a directed
fishing allowance of 13,000 mt, and is
setting aside the remaining 218 mt as
bycatch to support other anticipated
groundfish fisheries. In accordance with
§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional
Administrator finds that this directed
fishing allowance will be reached.
Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting
directed fishing for Atka mackerel in the
Central Aleutian District of the BSAI.
After the effective date of this closure
the maximum retainable amounts at
§ 679.20(e) and (f) apply at any time
during a trip.
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 closure of the fisheries under
the interim 2005 TAC of Atka mackerel
specified for the Central Aleutian
District of the BSAI.
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.
