SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
BSAI exclusive economic zone
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.
NMFS closed the directed fishery for
Atka mackerel by vessels participating
in the BSAI trawl limited access fishery
in the Eastern Aleutian District and the
Bering Sea subarea on September 1,
2009.
NMFS has determined that
approximately 476 mt of the 2009 Atka
mackerel TAC for vessels participating
in the BSAI trawl limited access fishery
in the Eastern Aleutian District and the
Bering Sea subarea remain in the
directed fishing allowance. Therefore, in
accordance with § 679.25(a)(1)(i),
(a)(2)(i)(C), and (a)(2)(iii)(D), and to fully
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
utilize the 2009 TAC of Atka mackerel
in these areas specified for vessels
participating in the BSAI trawl limited
access fishery, NMFS is terminating the
previous closure and is reopening
directed fishing for Atka mackerel by
vessels participating in the BSAI trawl
limited access fishery in the Eastern
Aleutian District and the Bering Sea
subarea effective 1200 hrs, A.l.t.,
September 3, 2009. Pursuant to
§ 679.25(b), the Regional Administrator
considered the following factors in
reaching this decision: (1) the catch per
unit of effort and the rate of harvest and,
(2) the economic impacts on fishing
businesses affected in the BSAI trawl
limited access sector.
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 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 opening of the Atka mackerel
fishery in the Eastern Aleutian District

and the Bering Sea subarea for vessels
participating in the BSAI trawl limited
access fishery. NMFS was unable to
publish a notice providing time for
public comment because the most
recent, relevant data only became
available as of September 1, 2009. 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.
Without this inseason adjustment,
NMFS could not allow the fishery for
Atka mackerel fishery in the Eastern
Aleutian District and the Bering Sea
subarea for vessels participating in the
BSAI trawl limited access fishery to be
harvested in an expedient manner and
in accordance with the regulatory
schedule. Under § 679.25(c)(2),
interested persons are invited to submit
written comments on this action to the
above address until September 17, 2009.
This action is required by § 679.20
and § 679.25 and is exempt from review
under Executive Order 12866.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
