SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Bottomfish fishing in Hawaii is managed under the Fishery Ecosystem Plan for the Hawaiian Archipelago (Hawaii FEP), developed by the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) and implemented by NMFS under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Regulations governing fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance with the Hawaii FEP appear at 50 CFR part 665 and at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600. The regulations at § 665.211 authorize NMFS and the Council to set a TAC limit for Deep 7 bottomfish for the fishing year, based on the best available scientific, commercial, and other information, and taking into account the associated risk of overfishing. The Deep 7 bottomfish are onaga (Etelis VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:50 Feb 24, 2011 Jkt 223001 coruscans), ehu (E. carbunculus), gindai (Pristipomoides zonatus), kalekale (P. sieboldii), opakapaka (P. filamentosus), lehi (Aphareus rutilans), and hapuupuu (Epinephelus quernus). When the TAC limit for the year is projected to be reached, the NMFS Regional Administrator is required to publish notification that the fishery will be closed beginning on a specified date, not earlier than 14 days after the date of filing the closure notice for public inspection at the Office of the Federal Register, until the end of the fishing year in which the TAC is reached. During the closure, no person may fish for, possess, or sell any Deep 7 bottomfish in the Main Hawaiian Islands, except as otherwise authorized by law. Specifically, fishing for, and the resultant possession or sale of, Deep 7 bottomfish by vessels legally permitted to fish in the Pacific Remote Island Areas, and conducted in compliance with all other laws and regulations, are not affected by this closure. There is no prohibition on fishing for or selling nonDeep 7 bottomfish species throughout the year. The TAC limit for the 2010–2011 fishing year was recommended by the Council, and specified by NMFS, as 254,050 lb (115,235 kg) of Deep 7 PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 9990 10525 bottomfish (75 FR 53606; September 1, 2010). Progress toward the TAC was monitored using information reported by holders of State of Hawaii commercial marine licenses through monthly catch reports submitted to the State. Based on this information, the TAC for the 2010–11 fishing year is projected to be reached on or before March 12, 2011. In accordance with § 665.211(c), this document serves as advance notification to fishermen, the fishing industry, and the general public that the Main Hawaiian Islands Deep 7 bottomfish fishery will be closed from March 12, 2011, through the remainder of the fishing year. The 2011–12 fishing year is scheduled to open on September 1, 2011. The proposed TAC for the 2011– 12 fishing year will be published in the Federal Register by August 31, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Bottomfish fishing in Hawaii is managed 
under the Fishery Ecosystem Plan for the Hawaiian Archipelago (Hawaii 
FEP), developed by the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council 
(Council) and implemented by NMFS under the authority of the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Regulations governing 
fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance with the Hawaii FEP appear at 50 
CFR part 665 and at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600.
    The regulations at Sec.  665.211 authorize NMFS and the Council to 
set a TAC limit for Deep 7 bottomfish for the fishing year, based on 
the best available scientific, commercial, and other information, and 
taking into account the associated risk of overfishing. The Deep 7 
bottomfish are onaga (Etelis coruscans), ehu (E. carbunculus), gindai 
(Pristipomoides zonatus), kalekale (P. sieboldii), opakapaka (P. 
filamentosus), lehi (Aphareus rutilans), and hapuupuu (Epinephelus 
quernus).
    When the TAC limit for the year is projected to be reached, the 
NMFS Regional Administrator is required to publish notification that 
the fishery will be closed beginning on a specified date, not earlier 
than 14 days after the date of filing the closure notice for public 
inspection at the Office of the Federal Register, until the end of the 
fishing year in which the TAC is reached. During the closure, no person 
may fish for, possess, or sell any Deep 7 bottomfish in the Main 
Hawaiian Islands, except as otherwise authorized by law. Specifically, 
fishing for, and the resultant possession or sale of, Deep 7 bottomfish 
by vessels legally permitted to fish in the Pacific Remote Island 
Areas, and conducted in compliance with all other laws and regulations, 
are not affected by this closure. There is no prohibition on fishing 
for or selling non-Deep 7 bottomfish species throughout the year.
    The TAC limit for the 2010-2011 fishing year was recommended by the 
Council, and specified by NMFS, as 254,050 lb (115,235 kg) of Deep 7 
bottomfish (75 FR 53606; September 1, 2010). Progress toward the TAC

    In accordance with Sec.  665.211(c), this document serves as 
advance notification to fishermen, the fishing industry, and the 
general public that the Main Hawaiian Islands Deep 7 bottomfish fishery 
will be closed from March 12, 2011, through the remainder of the
