ACTION: Temporary rule; rescission of
closure.
SUMMARY: NMFS announces rescission
of the closure previously issued for the
State of Connecticut. This notification is
consistent with Connecticut’s
announcement to reopen the
commercial summer flounder fishery
within State waters, effective September
24, 2007. The rescission of this closure
is due to catch accounting corrections
that have reduced previously reported
landings in Connecticut. The public is
advised that landings are allowed for

summer flounder Federal permit
holders until it is determined that the
quota has been fully harvested.
DATES: Effective 0001 hours, October 10,
2007, through December 31, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Emily Bryant, Fishery Management
Specialist, (978) 281–9244.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulations governing the summer
flounder fishery are at 50 CFR part 648.
The regulations require annual
specification of a commercial quota that
is apportioned on a percentage basis
among the coastal states from North
Carolina through Maine. The process to
set the annual commercial quota and the
percent allocated to each state is
described in § 648.100.
NMFS, in compliance with
regulations found at 50 CFR part 648,
closed the Federal commercial summer
flounder fishery for the State of
Connecticut after determining through
quota monitoring that Connecticut had
harvested its allocated summer flounder
quota. This closure published at 72 FR
48945, August 27, 2007, was effective
August 27, 2007, and was intended to
last through December 31, 2007.
Later analyses comparing electronic
dealer reports to commercial fishermen
logbooks and Federal fishing vessel trip
reports have revealed instances of
summer flounder landings being
attributed to Connecticut that were
actually landed in other states. Due to
this new information, Connecticut has
reinstated a possession limit for the
commercial harvest of summer flounder
of 75 lb (34 kg). This notification
announces NMFS’s decision to allow
Federally permitted vessels to land
summer flounder in Connecticut until
the quota is determined to be fully
harvested. Therefore, effective 0001
hours October 10, 2007, through
December 31, 2007, further landings of
summer flounder in Connecticut by
vessels holding summer flounder
commercial Federal fisheries permits
are allowed until the remaining quota
has been harvested. Effective 0001
hours, October 10, 2007, through
December 31, 2007, federally permitted
dealers are also notified that they may
purchase summer flounder from
federally permitted vessels that land in
Connecticut for the remainder of the
quota harvest.
Classification
This action is required by 50 CFR part
648 and is exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866.

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed
fishing for Atka mackerel in the Western
Aleutian District of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands management area
(BSAI). This action is necessary to
prevent exceeding the 2007 Atka
mackerel total allowable catch (TAC) in
the Western Aleutian District of the
BSAI.
Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local
time (A.l.t.), October 4, 2007, through
2400 hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jennifer Hogan, 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 2007 Atka mackerel TAC in the
Western Aleutian District of the BSAI is
8,880 metric tons (mt) as established by
the 2007 and 2008 final harvest
specifications for groundfish in the
BSAI (72 FR 9451, March 2, 2007).

In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS (Regional Administrator), has
determined that the 2007 Atka mackerel
TAC in the Western Aleutian District of
the BSAI will soon be reached.
Therefore, the Regional Administrator is
establishing a directed fishing
allowance of 8,870 mt, and is setting
aside the remaining 10 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 Atka mackerel in the
Western 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 Atka mackerel in
the Western Aleutian District of the
BSAI. NMFS was unable to publish a
notice providing time for public
comment because the most recent,
relevant data only became available as
of October 3, 2007.
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: October 3, 2007.

December 31, 2007, federally permitted dealers are also notified that
they may purchase summer flounder from federally permitted vessels that
land in Connecticut for the remainder of the quota harvest.
