NMFS closes the northern

a.m., local time, July 1, 2011, unless

SUMMARY:
The
fishery for coastal migratory pelagic fish
(king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, cero,
cobia, little tunny, and, in the Gulf of
Mexico (Gulf) only, dolphin and
bluefish) is managed under the Fishery
Management Plan for the Coastal
Migratory Pelagic Resources of the Gulf
of Mexico and South Atlantic (FMP).
The FMP was prepared by the Gulf of
Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery
Management Councils (Councils) 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.
On April 27, 2000, NMFS
implemented the final rule (65 FR
16336, March 28, 2000) that divided the
Florida west coast subzone of the Gulf

sroberts on DSK69SOYB1PROD with RULES
of Mexico eastern zone into northern
and southern subzones, and established
their separate commercial quotas. The
northern Florida west coast subzone is
located in Federal waters of the Gulf
north of 26°19.8′ N lat. (a line directly
west from the Lee/Collier County, FL
boundary) and east of 87°31.1′ W long.
(a line directly south from the Alabama/
Florida boundary). The quota for the
northern subzone is 168,750 lb (76,544
kg) (50 CFR 622.42(c)(1)(ii)).
In accordance with 50 CFR 622.43(a),
NMFS is required to close any zone to
the commercial harvest of king mackerel
when the zone’s quota has been
reached, or is projected to be reached,
by filing a notification with the Office
of the Federal Register. NMFS has
determined the commercial quota for
Gulf group king mackerel in the
northern Florida west coast subzone
will be reached by April 04, 2011.
Accordingly, commercial fishing for
Gulf group king mackerel in the
northern Florida west coast subzone is
closed effective 12:01 a.m., local time,
April 04, 2011, until 12:01 a.m., local
time, July 1, 2011, the end of the current
fishing year.
During the closure period, no person
aboard a vessel for which a commercial
permit for king mackerel has been
issued may fish for or retain Gulf group
king mackerel in Federal waters of the
closed subzone. There is one exception,
however, for a person aboard a charter
vessel or headboat. A person aboard a
vessel that has a valid charter/headboat
permit and also has a commercial king
mackerel permit for coastal migratory
pelagic fish may continue to retain king
mackerel in or from the closed subzone
under the 2-fish daily bag limit,
provided the vessel is operating as a
charter vessel or headboat. Charter
vessels or headboats that hold a
commercial king mackerel permit are
considered to be operating as a charter
vessel or headboat when they carry a
passenger who pays a fee or when more
than three persons are aboard, including
operator and crew.
Classification
This action responds to the best
available information recently obtained
from the fishery. The Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA,
(AA), finds the need to immediately
implement this commercial closure
constitutes good cause to waive the
requirements to provide prior notice
and opportunity for public comment
pursuant to the authority set forth in 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), as such procedures
would be unnecessary and contrary to
the public interest. Such procedures
would be unnecessary because the rule
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:24 Apr 01, 2011
Jkt 223001
itself already has 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
resource because the capacity of the
commercial fleet allows for rapid
harvest of the quota. Prior notice and
opportunity for public comment would
require time and 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 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.

closure.
AGENCY:
NMFS has determined that
the Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) daily
retention limit should be adjusted for
the remainder of 2011, based on
consideration of the regulatory
determination criteria regarding
inseason adjustments and based on
North Carolina Tagging Program data.
These actions apply to vessels permitted
in the Highly Migratory Species (HMS)
Angling category and Charter/Headboat
category (when fishing recreationally for
BFT). NMFS also closes the southern
area Angling category fishery for large
medium and giant (‘‘trophy’’) BFT.
These actions are being taken consistent

Brad
McHale, 978–281–9260.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulations implemented under the
authority of the Atlantic Tunas
Convention Act (16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.)
and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act; 16 U.S.C. 1801
et seq.) governing the harvest of BFT by
persons and vessels subject to U.S.
jurisdiction are found at 50 CFR part
635. Section 635.27 subdivides the U.S.
BFT quota recommended by the
International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
among the various domestic fishing
categories, per the allocations
established in the 2006 Consolidated
Highly Migratory Species Fishery
Management Plan (2006 Consolidated
HMS FMP) (71 FR 58058, October 2,
2006).
The 2011 BFT fishing year, which is
managed on a calendar-year basis and
subject to an annual calendar-year
quota, began January 1, 2011. The
Angling category season opened January
1, 2011, and continues through
December 31, 2011. Currently, the
default Angling category daily retention
limit of one school, large school, or
small medium BFT (measuring 27 to
less than 73 inches (68.5 to less than
185 cm)) applies (§ 635.23(b)(2)). An
annual limit of one large medium or
giant BFT (73 inches or greater) per
vessel also applies (§ 635.23(b)(1)).
These retention limits apply to HMS
Angling and HMS Charter/Headboat
category permitted vessels (when
fishing recreationally for BFT).
In order to implement the 2010
ICCAT-recommended baseline annual
U.S. BFT quota, NMFS has published a
proposed rule that would modify the
U.S. BFT quota and base subquotas for
all domestic fishing categories, and
establish BFT quota specifications for
2011 (76 FR 13583, March 14, 2011).
Until the final rule is effective (likely
June 2011), the BFT base quotas
codified at § 635.27(a) remain in effect.
The currently codified Angling category
quota is 187.6 mt (97.7 mt for school
BFT, 85.6 mt for large school/small
medium BFT, and 4.3 mt for large
medium/giant BFT).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The fishery for coastal migratory pelagic
fish (king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, cero, cobia, little tunny, and,
