On
September 3, 2009, we published a final
rule (74 FR 45674) that implemented
pertinent refuge-specific regulations and
amended other existing refuge-specific
regulations pertaining to migratory game
bird hunting, upland game hunting, big
game hunting, and sport fishing for the
2008–2009 season. This rule became
effective on the day of publication,
September 3, 2009. In the rule, several
of our amendatory instructions for
adding or revising paragraphs in the
regulatory text section were not clear.
This document corrects error that arose
from those unclear instructions. In
addition, this document contains the
following corrections to the regulatory
text:
In the State of Alabama, the correction
for Cahaba National Wildlife Refuge
reflects that conditions B.2., B.3., and
B.7. apply rather than B.8. which does
not exist. The correction for Mountain
Longleaf National Wildlife Refuge
reflects that conditions A.1. through
A.4. apply rather than A.5. which does
not exist.
In the State of Georgia, the correction
for Savannah National Wildlife Refuge
reflects the addition of a sentence to
C.10. that was inadvertently omitted.
In the State of Maryland, the
correction for Patuxent Research Refuge
reflects removal of extraneous
characters at the end of condition
D.18.vi. inadvertently applied during
XML coding of the document.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Administrative Procedure Act
We find good cause to waive notice
and comment on this correction, under
5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), and the 30-day delay
in effective date under 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
Notice and comment are unnecessary
because these corrections are minor,
editorial changes. The substance of the
regulations remains unchanged.
Therefore, this correction is being
published as a final regulation and is
effective upon publication.

VerDate Nov<24>2008

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic
Zone Off Alaska; Pacific Cod by
Vessels Catching Pacific Cod for
Processing by the Inshore Component
in the Central Regulatory Area of the
Gulf of Alaska
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
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 2009 total
allowable catch (TAC) of Pacific cod
allocated 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.), October 1, 2009, until 2400
hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Obren Davis, 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 2009 TAC of Pacific cod allocated
to vessels catching Pacific cod for
processing by the inshore component of
the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA
is 21,277 metric tons (mt) as established
by the final 2009 and 2010 harvest
specifications for groundfish of the GOA
(74 FR 7333, February 17, 2009).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS (Regional Administrator), has
determined that the 2009 TAC of Pacific
cod allocated to vessels catching Pacific
cod for processing by the inshore
component of the Central Regulatory
Area of the GOA will soon be reached.
SUMMARY:
Patuxent Research Refuge

Therefore, the Regional Administrator is
establishing a directed fishing
allowance of 20,277 mt, and is setting
aside the remaining 1,000 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 by
vessels catching Pacific cod for
processing by the inshore component of
the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA.
Delaying the closure of Pacific cod after
the Regional Administrator has
determined that the directed fishing
allowance has been reached is a
conservation concern. NMFS was
unable to publish a notice providing
time for public comment because the
most recent, relevant data only became
available as of September 24, 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.
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: September 25, 2009.
