Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic
Zone Off Alaska; Atka Mackerel in the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; closures and
openings.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed
fishing for Atka mackerel with gears
other than jig in the Eastern Aleutian
District and the Bering Sea subarea of
the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
management area (BSAI). This action is
necessary to prevent exceeding the 2005
total allowable catch (TAC) of Atka
mackerel in these areas. NMFS is also
announcing the opening and closure
dates of the first and second directed
fisheries within the harvest limit area
(HLA) in Statistical Areas 542 and 543.
These actions are necessary to prevent
exceeding the HLA limits established
for the Central (area 542) and Western
(area 543) Aleutian Districts pursuant to
the 2005 Atka mackerel TAC.
DATES: The effective dates are provided
in Table 1 under the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section of this temporary
action.

U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP
appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600
and 50 CFR part 679.
The 2005 TAC of Atka mackerel
specified for other gear in the Eastern
Aleutian District and the Bering Sea
subarea was established as 6,868 metric
tons (mt) by the 2005 and 2006 final
harvest specifications for groundfish in
the BSAI (70 FR 8979, February 24,
2005). See § 679.20(a)(8)(ii) and
(c)(3)(iii).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS (Regional Administrator), has
determined that 350 mt of the 2005 Atka
mackerel TAC for other gear in the
Eastern Aleutian District and the Bering
Sea subarea will be necessary as
incidental catch to support other
anticipated groundfish fisheries.
Therefore, the Regional Administrator is
establishing a directed fishing
allowance of 6,518 mt. 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 Atka mackerel TAC
by vessels using other gear in the
Eastern Aleutian District and the Bering
Sea subarea.
In accordance with
§ 679.20(a)(8)(iii)(C), the Regional
Administrator is opening the first
directed fisheries for Atka mackerel
within the HLA in areas 542 and 543,
48 hours after the closure of the Eastern
Aleutian District and the Bering Sea
subarea Atka mackerel directed fishery.
The Regional Administrator has
established the opening date for the
second HLA directed fisheries as 48
hours after the last closure of the first
HLA fisheries in either 542 or 543.
Consequently, NMFS is opening and
closing directed fishing for Atka
mackerel in the HLA of areas 542 and
543 in accordance with the periods
listed under Table 1 of this notice.

In accordance with § 679.20(a)(8)(iii),
vessels using trawl gear for directed
fishing for Atka mackerel have
previously registered with NMFS to fish
in the HLA fisheries in areas 542 and/
or 543. NMFS has randomly assigned
each vessel to the directed fishery or
fisheries for which they have registered.
NMFS has notified each vessel owner as
to which fishery each vessel has been
assigned by NMFS. (70 FR 49197,
August 23, 2005).
In accordance with
§ 679.20(a)(8)(ii)(C)(1), the HLA limits of
the 2005 TACs in areas 542 and 543 are
9,851 mt and 5,550 mt, respectively.
Based on those limits and the
proportion of the number of vessels in
each fishery compared to the total
number of vessels participating in the
HLA directed fishery for area 542 or
543, the harvest limit for each HLA
directed fishery in areas 542 and 543 are
as follows: for the first directed fishery
in area 542, 4,926 mt; for the first
directed fishery in area 543, 2,775 mt;
for the second directed fishery in area
542, 4,925 mt; and for the second
directed fishery in area 543, 2,775 mt.
In accordance with § 679.20(a)(8)(iii)(E),
the Regional Administrator has
VerDate Aug<18>2005
15:01 Sep 06, 2005
Jkt 205001
established the closure dates of the Atka
mackerel directed fisheries in the HLA
for areas 542 and 543 based on the
amount of the harvest limit and the
estimated fishing capacity of the vessels
assigned to the respective fisheries.
Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting
directed fishing for Atka mackerel in the
HLA of areas 542 and 543 in accordance
with the dates and times listed in Table
1 of this notice.
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) and 50 CFR
679.20(b)(3)(iii)(A) as such a
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 Atka mackerel fishery in

mackerel TAC. NMFS was unable to
publish a notice providing time for
public comment because the most
recent, relevant data only became
available as of August 15, 2005. The AA
also finds good cause to waive the 30day 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

In accordance with Sec. 679.20(a)(8)(iii), vessels using trawl
gear for directed fishing for Atka mackerel have previously registered
with NMFS to fish in the HLA fisheries in areas 542 and/or 543. NMFS
has randomly assigned each vessel to the directed fishery or fisheries
for which they have registered. NMFS has notified each vessel owner as
to which fishery each vessel has been assigned by NMFS. (70 FR 49197,
August 23, 2005).
In accordance with Sec. 679.20(a)(8)(ii)(C)(1), the HLA limits of
the 2005 TACs in areas 542 and 543 are 9,851 mt and 5,550 mt,
respectively. Based on those limits and the proportion of the number of
vessels in each fishery compared to the total number of vessels
participating in the HLA directed fishery for area 542 or 543, the
harvest limit for each HLA directed fishery in areas 542 and 543 are as
follows: for the first directed fishery in area 542, 4,926 mt; for the
first directed fishery in area 543, 2,775 mt; for the second directed
fishery in area 542, 4,925 mt; and for the second directed fishery in
area 543, 2,775 mt. In accordance with Sec. 679.20(a)(8)(iii)(E), the
Regional Administrator has established the closure dates of the Atka
mackerel directed fisheries in the HLA for areas 542 and 543 based on
the amount of the harvest limit and the estimated fishing capacity of
the vessels assigned to the respective fisheries. Consequently, NMFS is
prohibiting directed fishing for Atka mackerel in the HLA of areas 542
and 543 in accordance with the dates and times listed in Table 1 of
this notice.

requirement is impracticable and contrary to the public interest as it
would prevent NMFS from responding to the most recent fisheries data in
