SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The snapper-grouper fishery of the South Atlantic is managed under the Fishery Management Plan for the SnapperGrouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (FMP). The FMP was prepared by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council and is implemented under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by regulations at 50 CFR part 622. Those regulations set the commercial quota for black sea bass in the South Atlantic at 309,000 lb (140,160 kg) for the current fishing year, June 1, 2008, through May 31, 2009. Under 50 CFR 622.43(a), NMFS is required to close the commercial fishery for a species or species group when the quota for that species or species group is reached, or is projected to be reached, by filing a notification to that effect with the Office of the Federal Register. Based on current statistics, NMFS has determined that the available commercial quota of 309,000 lb (140,160 kg) for black sea bass will be reached on or before May 15, 2009. Accordingly, VerDate Nov<24>2008 18:53 May 13, 2009 Jkt 217001 NMFS is closing the commercial fishery for black sea bass in the South Atlantic EEZ from 12:01 a.m., local time, on May 15, 2009, until 12:01 a.m., local time, on June 1, 2009. The operator of a vessel that is landing black sea bass for sale, including a charter vessel or headboat that has a commercial permit for snapper-grouper, must have landed and bartered, traded, or sold such black sea bass prior to 12:01 a.m., local time, May 15, 2009, and all sea bass pots must be removed from the EEZ as of that time and date. During the closure, the applicable bag and possession limits specified in 50 CFR 622.39(d) apply to all harvest or possession of black sea bass in or from the South Atlantic EEZ, and the sale or purchase of black sea bass taken from the EEZ is prohibited. In addition, those bag and possession limits and the prohibition on sale or purchase of black sea bass apply regardless of where the black sea bass were harvested, i.e., in state waters or the EEZ, on board a vessel for which a valid Federal commercial or charter vessel/headboat permit for South Atlantic snappergrouper has been issued. The prohibition on sale or purchase does not apply to sale or purchase of black sea bass that were harvested, landed ashore, and sold prior to 12:01 a.m., local time, May 15, 2009, and were held in cold storage by a dealer or processor. Classification This action responds to the best available information recently obtained PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 22711 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 prior notice and opportunity for public comment is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. Such procedures would be unnecessary because the rule itself has already been subject to notice and comment, and all that remains is to notify the public of the closure. Allowing prior notice and opportunity for public comment is contrary to the public interest because of the need to immediately implement this action to protect the fishery since the capacity of the fishing fleet allows for rapid harvest of the quota. Prior notice and opportunity for public comment would require time and would potentially result in a harvest well in excess of the established quota. For the aforementioned reasons, the AA also finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in the effectiveness of this action under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; 
Snapper-grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic; Closure of the 2009 
Commercial Fishery for Black Sea Bass in the South Atlantic

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS closes the commercial fishery for black sea bass in the 
exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the South Atlantic. NMFS has 
determined that the quota for the commercial

[[Page 22711]]

fishery for black sea bass will have been reached by May 15, 2009. This 
closure is necessary to protect the black sea bass resource.

DATES: Closure is effective 12:01 a.m., local time, May 15, 2009, until 
12:01 a.m., local time, on June 1, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine Bruger, telephone 727-824-
5305, fax 727-824-5308, e-mail Catherine.Bruger@noaa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The snapper-grouper fishery of the South 
Atlantic is managed under the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper-
Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (FMP). The FMP was 
prepared by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council and is 
implemented under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 
Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by regulations 
at 50 CFR part 622. Those regulations set the commercial quota for 
black sea bass in the South Atlantic at 309,000 lb (140,160 kg) for the 
current fishing year, June 1, 2008, through May 31, 2009.
    Under 50 CFR 622.43(a), NMFS is required to close the commercial 
fishery for a species or species group when the quota for that species 
or species group is reached, or is projected to be reached, by filing a 
notification to that effect with the Office of the Federal Register. 
Based on current statistics, NMFS has determined that the available 
commercial quota of 309,000 lb (140,160 kg) for black sea bass will be 
reached on or before May 15, 2009. Accordingly, NMFS is closing the 
commercial fishery for black sea bass in the South Atlantic EEZ from 
12:01 a.m., local time, on May 15, 2009, until 12:01 a.m., local time, 
on June 1, 2009. The operator of a vessel that is landing black sea 
bass for sale, including a charter vessel or headboat that has a 
commercial permit for snapper-grouper, must have landed and bartered, 
traded, or sold such black sea bass prior to 12:01 a.m., local time, 
May 15, 2009, and all sea bass pots must be removed from the EEZ as of 
that time and date.
    During the closure, the applicable bag and possession limits 
specified in 50 CFR 622.39(d) apply to all harvest or possession of 
black sea bass in or from the South Atlantic EEZ, and the sale or 
purchase of black sea bass taken from the EEZ is prohibited. In 
addition, those bag and possession limits and the prohibition on sale 
or purchase of black sea bass apply regardless of where the black sea 
bass were harvested, i.e., in state waters or the EEZ, on board a 
vessel for which a valid Federal commercial or charter vessel/headboat 
permit for South Atlantic snapper-grouper has been issued. The 
prohibition on sale or purchase does not apply to sale or purchase of 
black sea bass that were harvested, landed ashore, and sold prior to 
12:01 a.m., local time, May 15, 2009, and were held in cold storage by 
a dealer or processor.

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 prior notice and opportunity for 
public comment is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. Such 
procedures would be unnecessary because the rule itself has already 
been subject to notice and comment, and all that remains is to notify 
the public of the closure. Allowing prior notice and opportunity for 
public comment is contrary to the public interest because of the need 
to immediately implement this action to protect the fishery since the 
capacity of the fishing fleet allows for rapid harvest of the quota. 
Prior notice and opportunity for public comment would require time and 
would potentially result in a harvest well in excess of the established 
quota.
    For the aforementioned reasons, the AA also finds good cause to 
waive the 30-day delay in the effectiveness of this action under 5 
U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
    This action is taken under 50 CFR 622.43(a) and is exempt from 
review under Executive Order 12866.

    Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
