Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 47 / Friday, March 11, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
being taken to prevent overharvest of
the adjusted Angling category quota of
299.6 metric tons (mt).
DATES: Effective 11:30 p.m., local time,
March 11, 2005, through May 31, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
HMS Management Division at 978–281–
9260.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulations implemented under the
authority of the Atlantic Tunas
Convention Act (16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.)
and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) governing the
harvest of BFT by persons and vessels
subject to U.S. jurisdiction are found at
50 CFR part 635. Section 635.27
subdivides the U.S. BFT quota
recommended by the International
Commission for the Conservation of
Atlantic Tunas among the various
domestic fishing categories and are
specified annually under 50 CFR
635.23(b) and 635.27(a).
Angling Category Closure
NMFS is required, under 50 CFR
635.28 (a)(1), to file with the Office of
the Federal Register for publication,
notification of closure when a BFT
quota is reached, or is projected to be
reached. On and after the effective date
and time of such closure notification,
for the remainder of the fishing year, or
for a specified period as indicated in the
notification, fishing for, retaining,
possessing, or landing BFT under that
quota category is prohibited until the
opening of the subsequent quota period,
or until such date as specified in the
notification.
The 2004 final initial BFT quota
specifications issued pursuant to
635.27, set an Angling category quota of
76.5 mt to be harvested from the
regulatory area during the 2004 fishing
year (70 FR 10896, March 7, 2005). On
December 10, 2004, NMFS transferred a
total of 223.1 mt from the General
category to the Angling category
establishing an adjusted Angling
category BFT quota of 299.6 mt for the
2004 fishing year (69 FR 71732). Based
on the available Angling category quota
and preliminary information regarding
recreational BFT landings for the 2004
fishing year, NMFS projects that the
available Angling category quota will be
reached by March 11, 2005. Therefore,
fishing for, retaining, possessing, or
landing BFT by persons aboard vessels
permitted in the Atlantic Highly
Migratory Species (HMS) Angling, and
HMS Charter/Headboat categories, must
cease at 11:30 p.m. local time March 11,
2005, in all areas. The intent of this
closure is to prevent overharvest of the
VerDate jul<14>2003
17:11 Mar 10, 2005
Jkt 205001
available quota established for the
Angling category. Atlantic HMS Angling
and HMS Charter/Headboat category
permit holders may tag and release BFT
of all sizes while the Angling quota
category is closed, subject to the
requirements of the tag-and-release
program at § 635.26.
Classification
The Assistant Administrator for
Fisheries, NOAA (AA), finds that it is
impracticable and contrary to the public
interest to provide prior notice of, and
an opportunity for public comment on,
this action. Based on the available
Angling category quota for the 2004
fishing year and the most recent
information regarding recreational BFT
landings, this closure is necessary to
prevent overharvest of the adjusted
Angling category quota.
This fishery is currently underway
and delaying this action would be
contrary to the public interest as it will
result in additional recreational BFT
landings, potentially contributing to an
overharvest of the adjusted Angling
category quota. Therefore, the AA finds
good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to
waive prior notice and the opportunity
for public comment. For all of the above
reasons, there is good cause under 5
U.S.C. 553(d) to waive the delay in
effectiveness of this action.
NMFS provides notification of
closures by publishing the closure
notice in the Federal Register, faxing
notification to individuals on the HMS
FAX Network and know fishery
representatives, announcing the notice
on the Atlantic Tunas Information
Lines, posting the closure notice on
www.nmfspermits.com, and
announcing the notice over the NOAA
Weather radio channel.
This action is being taken under 50
CFR 635.23(a)(4) and is exempt from
review under Executive Order 12866.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 971 et seq. and 1801
et seq.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document corrects a
February 24, 2005, final rule that
implements 2005 and 2006 harvest
specifications, reserves, and
apportionments thereof, Pacific halibut
prohibited species catch (PSC) limits,
and associated management measures
for the groundfish fishery of the Gulf of
Alaska (GOA). Specifically, this
document corrects errors in Tables 12
and 13 to the final specifications.
DATES: Effective at 1200 hrs, Alaska
local time (A.l.t.), February 24, 2005,
through 2400 hrs, A.l.t., December 31,
2006.

Alaska Region website at
www.fakr.noaa.gov.
Copies of the final 2004 Stock

report for the groundfish resources of
the GOA, dated November 2004, are
available from the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council, West 4th Avenue,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
published 2005 and 2006 harvest
specifications, reserves, and
apportionments thereof, Pacific halibut
PSC limits, and associated management
measures for the groundfish fishery of
the GOA on February 24, 2005 (70 FR

limitations for non-exempt American
Fisheries Act catcher vessels in the
GOA. This document corrects the final
rule by reflecting accurately all of the

Correction
As published, final rule FR Doc. 05–
3581, February 24, 2005 (70 FR 8958)
contains errors and needs to be
corrected. This action corrects Table 12
(70 FR 8972) and Table 13 (70 FR 8973)
to change the dates for the pollock
seasons. For the A Season, the dates are
January 20 - March 10, and for the C
Season, the dates are August 25 October 1. The corrected Table 13
changes the species names for the
second allocation for shortraker rockfish
to rougheye rockfish and for the big and
longnose skates allocation to longnose
skates. Both tables are corrected and
reprinted below for the convenience of
all interested readers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS published 2005 and 2006 harvest
specifications, reserves, and apportionments thereof, Pacific halibut
PSC limits, and associated management measures for the groundfish
fishery of the GOA on February 24, 2005 (70 FR 8958). That rule lists
sideboard limitations for non-exempt American Fisheries Act catcher
vessels in the GOA. This document corrects the final rule by reflecting
accurately all of the
[[Page 12144]]
allocations and seasons for 2005 and 2006.
Correction
As published, final rule FR Doc. 05-3581, February 24, 2005 (70 FR
8958) contains errors and needs to be corrected. This action corrects
Table 12 (70 FR 8972) and Table 13 (70 FR 8973) to change the dates for
the pollock seasons. For the A Season, the dates are January 20 - March
10, and for the C Season, the dates are August 25 - October 1. The
corrected Table 13 changes the species names for the second allocation
for shortraker rockfish to rougheye rockfish and for the big and
longnose skates allocation to longnose skates. Both tables are
corrected and reprinted below for the convenience of all interested
readers.
