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 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 A season allocation of the 2008
TAC of Pacific cod apportioned to
vessels catching Pacific cod for
processing by the inshore component of
the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA
is 15,350 metric tons (mt) as established
by the 2007 and 2008 harvest
specifications for groundfish of the GOA
(72 FR 9676, March 5, 2007) and
revision (73 FR 1554, January 9, 2008).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS (Regional Administrator), has
determined that the A season allocation
of the 2008 TAC of Pacific cod
apportioned to vessels catching Pacific
cod for processing by the inshore
component of the Central Regulatory
Area of the GOA will soon be reached.
Therefore, the Regional Administrator is

establishing a directed fishing
allowance of 12,850 mt, and is setting
aside the remaining 2,500 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 cod by
vessels catching Pacific cod for
processing by the inshore component in
the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA.
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 cod
apportioned to vessels catching Pacific
cod for processing by the inshore
component of the Central Regulatory
Area of the GOA. NMFS was unable to
publish a notice providing time for
public comment because the most

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific cod by
vessels catching Pacific cod for processing by the inshore component in
the Central Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is
necessary to prevent exceeding the 2008 total allowable catch (TAC) of
Pacific cod apportioned to vessels catching Pacific cod for processing
by the inshore component of the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA.
DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local time (A.l.t.), February 20,
2008, until 1200 hrs, A.l.t., September 1, 2008.
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
for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (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 A season allocation of the 2008 TAC of Pacific cod apportioned
to vessels catching Pacific cod for processing by the inshore component
of the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA is 15,350 metric tons (mt) as
established by the 2007 and 2008 harvest specifications for groundfish
of the GOA (72 FR 9676, March 5, 2007) and revision (73 FR 1554,
January 9, 2008).
In accordance with Sec. 679.20(d)(1)(i), the Administrator, Alaska
Region, NMFS (Regional Administrator), has determined that the A season
allocation of the 2008 TAC of Pacific cod apportioned to vessels
catching Pacific cod for processing by the inshore component of the
Central Regulatory Area of the GOA will soon be reached. Therefore, the
Regional Administrator is establishing a directed fishing allowance of
12,850 mt, and is setting aside the remaining 2,500 mt as bycatch to
support other anticipated groundfish fisheries. In accordance with
Sec. 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 cod by vessels catching
Pacific cod for processing by the inshore component in the Central
Regulatory Area of the GOA.
After the effective date of this closure the maximum retainable
amounts at Sec. 679.20(e) and (f) apply at any time during a trip.
