Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic
Zone Off Alaska; Pacific Ocean Perch
in the Eastern Aleutian District of the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
NMFS is prohibiting directed
fishing for Pacific Ocean perch in the
Eastern Aleutian District of the Bering
Sea and Aleutian Islands management
area (BSAI). This action is necessary to
prevent exceeding the 2005 Pacific
Ocean perch total allowable catch (TAC)
in the Eastern Aleutian District of the
BSAI.
DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local
time (A.l.t.), July 10, 2005, through 2400
hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 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 Pacific Ocean perch TAC in
the Eastern Aleutian District of the BSAI
is 2,849 metric tons (mt) as established
by the 2005 and 2006 final harvest
specifications for groundfish in the
BSAI (70 FR 8979, February 24, 2005).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS, has determined that the 2005
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

Pacific Ocean perch TAC in the Eastern
Aleutian District of the BSAI will soon
be reached. Therefore, the Regional
Administrator is establishing a directed
fishing allowance of 2,799 mt, and is
setting aside the remaining 50 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 has been reached.
Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting
directed fishing for Pacific Ocean perch
in the Eastern 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 Pacific Ocean perch
in the Eastern 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.
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: July 8, 2005.

Acting Director, Office of Sustainable
Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
