SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
GOA exclusive economic zone
according to the Fishery Management
Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of
Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council
under authority of the MagnusonStevens 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 2006 TAC of ‘‘other rockfish’’ in
the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA
is 386 metric tons as established by the
2006 and 2007 harvest specifications for
groundfish of the GOA (71 FR 10870,
March 3, 2006). ‘‘Other rockfish’’
includes slope rockfish and demersal
shelf rockfish.
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(2), the
Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS,
has determined that the ‘‘other rockfish’’
TAC in the Central Regulatory Area of
the GOA has been reached. Therefore,
NMFS is requiring that further catches
of ‘‘other rockfish’’ in the Central
Regulatory Area of the GOA be treated
as prohibited species in accordance
with § 679.21(b).

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 prohibition of retention of
‘‘other rockfish’’ in the Central
Regulatory Area of the GOA. NMFS was
unable to publish a notice providing
time for public comment because the
most recent, relevant data only became
available as of July 28, 2006.
The AA also finds good cause to
waive the 30–day delay in the effective
date of this action under 5 U.S.C.

the reasons provided above for waiver of

Central Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). NMFS is requiring
that catch of ``other rockfish'' in this area be treated in the same

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Hogan, 907-586-7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS manages the groundfish fishery in the
GOA exclusive economic zone according to the Fishery Management Plan

In accordance with Sec. 679.20(d)(2), the Administrator, Alaska
