ACTION: Modification of a closure.
SUMMARY: NMFS is reopening directed
fishing for Pacific cod by catcher vessels
using trawl gear in the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands management area
(BSAI). This action is necessary to
utilize the remaining amount of the
2005 first seasonal allowance of the
Pacific cod total allowable catch (TAC)
specified for catcher vessels using trawl
gear in the BSAI.
DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local
time (A.l.t.), March 29, 2005, through
1200 hrs, A.l.t., April 1, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh
Keaton, 907–586–7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
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 2005 first seasonal allowance of
the Pacific cod TAC specified for
catcher vessels using trawl gear in the
BSAI is 31,345 metric tons (mt) as
established by the 2005 and 2006 final
harvest specifications for groundfish in
the BSAI (70 FR 8979, February 24,
2005), for the period 1200 hrs, A.l.t.,
January 1, 2005, through 1200 hrs, A.l.t.,
April 1, 2005. See §§ 679.20(c)(3)(iii),
(c)(5), and (a)(7)(i)(B). In accordance
with § 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the directed
fishery for Pacific cod by catcher vessels
using trawl gear was closed effective
1200 hrs, A.l.t., March 13, 2005 (70 FR
12811, March 16, 2005), because it was
determined that the 2005 first seasonal
allowance of the Pacific cod TAC
specified for catcher vessels using trawl
gear in the BSAI had been caught.
NMFS has determined that as of
March 18, 2005, the remaining amount
of the 2005 first seasonal allowance of
the Pacific cod TAC specified for
catcher vessels using trawl gear in the
BSAI is 2,400 metric tons. Therefore, in
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
accordance with §§ 679.25(a)(1)(i),
(a)(2)(i)(C) and 679.25(a)(2)(iii)(D),
NMFS is terminating the previous
closure and is reopening directed
fishing for Pacific cod by catcher vessels
using trawl gear in the BSAI effective
1200 hrs, A.l.t., March 29, 2005.
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 reopening of the fishery for
the remaining 2005 first seasonal
allowance of the Pacific cod TAC
specified for catcher vessels using trawl
gear in 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.
This action is required by § 679.20
and is exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
Dated: March 23, 2005.

April 1, 2005. See Sec. Sec. 679.20(c)(3)(iii), (c)(5), and
(a)(7)(i)(B). In accordance with Sec. 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the directed
fishery for Pacific cod by catcher vessels using trawl gear was closed
effective 1200 hrs, A.l.t., March 13, 2005 (70 FR 12811, March 16,

is reopening directed fishing for Pacific cod by catcher vessels using
