Fisheries of the Northeastern United
States; Scup Fishery; Adjustment to
the 2009 Winter II Quota
47117
Winter II quota of 1,349,751 lb (612 mt).
Because the amount transferred is less
than 499,999 lb (227 mt), the possession
limit per trip will remain 2,000 lb (907
kg) during the Winter II quota period,
consistent with the final rule Winter I to
Winter II possession limit increase table
(table 4) published in the 2009 final
scup specifications (74 FR 35, January 2,
2009).
Classification
This action is required by 50 CFR part
648 and is exempt from review under

ACTION: Temporary rule; inseason
adjustment.
BILLING CODE 3510–22–S
SUMMARY: NMFS adjusts the 2009
Winter II commercial scup quota. This
action complies with Framework
Adjustment 3 (Framework 3) to the
Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea
Bass Fishery Management Plan, which
established a process to allow the
rollover of unused commercial scup
quota from the Winter I period to the
Winter II period.
DATES: Effective September 15, 2009,
through December 31, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Sarah Bland, Fishery Management
Specialist, (978) 281–9257.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
published a final rule in the Federal
Register on November 3, 2003 (68 FR
62250), implementing a process, for
years in which the full Winter I
commercial scup quota is not harvested,
to allow unused quota from the Winter
I period (January 1 through April 30) to
be added to the quota for the Winter II
period (November 1 through December
31), and to allow adjustment of the
commercial possession limits for the
Winter II period commensurate with the
amount of quota rolled over from the
Winter I period.
For 2009, the initial Winter II quota is
1,334,791 lb (605 mt), and the best
available landings information indicates
that 14,960 lb (7 mt) remain of the
Winter I quota of 3,777,443 lb (1,713
mt). Consistent with the intent of
Framework 3, the full amount of unused
2009 Winter I quota is transferred to
Winter II, resulting in a revised 2009

Provisions; Fisheries of the

Sea Scallop Fishery; Closure of the
Limited Access General Category
Scallop Fishery to Individual Fishing
Quota Scallop Vessels
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the
Limited Access General Category
(LAGC) scallop fishery will close to
individual fishing quota (IFQ) scallop
vessels (including vessels issued an IFQ
letter of authorization (LOA) to fish
under appeal), effective 0001 hours,
September 15, 2009, until it re-opens on
December 1, 2009, under current
regulations. This action is based on the
determination that the third quarter
scallop total allowable catch (TAC) for
LAGC IFQ scallop vessels is projected to
be landed. This will prevent IFQ scallop
vessels from exceeding the 2009 third
quarter TAC, in accordance with the
regulations implementing Amendment
11 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery
Management Plan (FMP), enacted by
Framework 19 to the FMP, and the
