Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic
Zone Off Alaska; Pelagic Shelf
Rockfish in the Western Regulatory
Area of the Gulf of Alaska
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
NMFS is prohibiting directed
fishing for pelagic shelf rockfish in the
Western Regulatory Area of the Gulf of
Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary
to prevent exceeding the 2012 total
allowable catch (TAC) of pelagic shelf
rockfish in the Western Regulatory Area
of the GOA.
DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local
time (A.l.t.), July 5, 2012, through 2400
hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 2012.
SUMMARY:

Steve Whitney, 907–586–7269.
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 2012 TAC of pelagic shelf
rockfish in the Western Regulatory Area
of the GOA is 409 metric tons (mt) as
established by the final 2012 and 2013
harvest specifications for groundfish of
the GOA (77 FR 15194, March 14, 2012).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS (Regional Administrator), has
determined that the 2012 TAC of pelagic
shelf rockfish in the Western Regulatory
Area of the GOA will soon be reached.
Therefore, the Regional Administrator is
establishing a directed fishing
allowance of 389 mt, and is setting aside
the remaining 20 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 pelagic shelf
rockfish in the Western Regulatory Area
of the GOA.
After the effective date of this closure
the maximum retainable amounts at
§ 679.20(e) and (f) will apply at all times
during a trip.
Classification
This action responds to the best
available information recently obtained
from the fishery. The acting 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 because it would prevent NMFS
from responding to the most recent
fisheries data in a timely fashion and
would delay the closure of directed
fishing for pelagic shelf rockfish in the
Western Regulatory Area of the GOA.
NMFS was unable to publish a notice
providing time for public comment
because the most recent, relevant data
only became available as of June 29,
2012.

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.
