ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
NMFS implements an
accountability measure (AM) through
this temporary final rule for commercial
harvest of king mackerel in the southern
Florida west coast subzone of the
eastern zone of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf)
exclusive economic zone (EEZ) using
run-around gillnet gear. NMFS has
determined that the commercial annual
catch limit (ACL) (equal to the
commercial quota) for king mackerel

using run-around gillnet gear in the
southern Florida west coast subzone of
the Gulf EEZ will have been reached by
January 29, 2014. Therefore, NMFS
closes the southern Florida west coast
subzone to commercial king mackerel
fishing using run-around gillnet gear in
the Gulf EEZ. This closure is necessary
to protect the Gulf king mackerel
resource.
The closure is effective 12:01
p.m., eastern standard time, January 29,
2014, through 6 a.m., eastern standard
time, January 20, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
fishery for coastal migratory pelagic fish
(king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and
cobia) 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 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.
Gulf migratory group king mackerel’s
Florida west coast subzone of the Gulf
eastern zone is divided into northern
and southern subzones, each with
separate quotas. The southern subzone
is that part of the Florida west coast
subzone, which from November 1
through March 31, extends south and
west from 25°20.4’ N. lat. (a line directly
east from the Miami-Dade/Monroe
County, FL, boundary), north to 26°19.8’
N. lat. (a line directly west from the Lee/
Collier County, FL, boundary), i.e., the
area off Monroe and Collier Counties.
From April 1 through October 31, the
southern subzone is that part of the
Florida west coast subzone that is
between 26°19.8’ N. lat. (a line directly
west from the Lee/Collier County, FL,
boundary) and 25°48’ N. lat. (a line
directly west from the Monroe/Collier
County, FL, boundary), i.e., the area off
Collier County (50 CFR
622.384(b)(1)(i)(C)).
On January 30, 2012 (76 FR 82058,
December 29, 2011), NMFS
implemented a commercial ACL
(commercial quota) for the Gulf
migratory group king mackerel in the
southern Florida west coast subzone of
551,448 lb (250,133 kg) for vessels using
run-around gillnet gear (50 CFR
622.384(b)(1)(i)(B)(1)), for the current
fishing year, July 1, 2013, through June
30, 2014.

emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
Regulations at 50 CFR 622.8(b) require
NMFS to close any segment of the king
mackerel commercial sector when its
ACL (quota) has been reached, or is
projected to be reached, by filing a
notification with the Office of the
Federal Register. NMFS has determined
that the commercial ACL (commercial
quota) of 551,448 lb (250,133 kg) for
Gulf group king mackerel for vessels
using run-around gillnet gear in the
southern Florida west coast subzone
will be reached on [January 29, 2014.
Accordingly, commercial fishing for
such vessels in the southern Florida
west coast subzone is closed at 12:01
p.m., eastern standard time, January 29,
2014, through 6 a.m., eastern standard
time, January 20, 2015, the beginning of
the next fishing season, i.e., the day after
the 2015 Martin Luther King Jr. Federal
holiday. Accordingly, the operator of a
vessel that has been issued a Federal
commercial permit to harvest Gulf
migratory group king mackerel using
run-around gillnet gear in the southern
Florida west coast subzone must have
landed ashore and bartered, traded, or
sold such king mackerel prior to 12:01
p.m., eastern standard time, January 29,
2014.
Except for a person aboard a charter
vessel or headboat, during the closure,
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 harvested
using run-around gillnet gear in the
southern Florida west coast subzone.
Persons aboard a vessel for which a
commercial permit for king mackerel
has been issued, except persons who
also possess a king mackerel gillnet
permit, may fish for or retain Gulf group
king mackerel harvested using hookand-line gear in the southern Florida

west coast subzone at this time. A
person aboard a vessel that has a valid
charter vessel/headboat permit for
coastal migratory pelagic fish may
continue to retain king mackerel in or
from the closed zones or subzones
under the bag and possession limits set
forth in 50 CFR 622.382(a)(1)(ii) and
(a)(2), provided the vessel is operating
as a charter vessel or headboat. A
charter vessel or headboat that also has
a commercial king mackerel permit is
considered to be operating as a charter
vessel or headboat when it carries a
passenger who pays a fee or when there
are more than three persons aboard,
including operator and crew.
During the closure, king mackerel
harvested using run-around gillnet gear
in the southern Florida west coast
subzone, including those harvested
under the bag and possession limits,
may not be purchased or sold. This
prohibition does not apply to king
mackerel harvested using run-around
gillnet gear in the southern Florida west
coast subzone that were harvested,
landed ashore, and sold prior to the
closure and were held in cold storage by
a dealer or processor.
Classification
The Regional Administrator,
Southeast Region, NMFS, has
determined this temporary rule is
necessary for the conservation and
management of Gulf migratory group
king mackerel and is consistent with the
Magnuson-Stevens Act and other
applicable laws.
This action is taken under 50 CFR
622.8(b) and is exempt from review
under Executive Order 12866.
These measures are exempt from the
procedures of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the temporary rule is issued

without opportunity for prior notice and
comment.
This action responds to the best
available information recently obtained
from the fisheries. The Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA
(AA), finds that the need to immediately
implement this action to close the
fishery 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). Such procedures
would be unnecessary because the rule
implementing the ACL (quota) and the
associated requirement for closure of the
commercial harvest when the ACL
(quota) is reached or projected to be
reached has already been subject to
notice and comment, and all that
remains is to notify the public of the
closure.
Providing prior notice and
opportunity for public comment on this
action would be contrary to the public
interest because any delay in the closure
of the commercial harvest could result
in the commercial quota being
exceeded. There is a need to
immediately implement this action to
protect the king mackerel resource
because the capacity of the fishing fleet
allows for rapid harvest of the quota.
For the aforementioned reasons, the
AA also finds good cause to waive the
30-day delay in effectiveness under 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3).

SUMMARY: NMFS implements an accountability measure (AM) through this
temporary final rule for commercial harvest of king mackerel in the
southern Florida west coast subzone of the eastern zone of the Gulf of
Mexico (Gulf) exclusive economic zone (EEZ) using run-around gillnet
gear. NMFS has determined that the commercial annual catch limit (ACL)
(equal to the commercial quota) for king mackerel using run-around
gillnet gear in the southern Florida west coast subzone of the Gulf EEZ
will have been reached by January 29, 2014. Therefore, NMFS closes the
southern Florida west coast subzone to commercial king mackerel fishing
using run-around gillnet gear in the Gulf EEZ. This closure is
necessary to protect the Gulf king mackerel resource.
DATES: The closure is effective 12:01 p.m., eastern standard time,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The fishery for coastal migratory pelagic
fish (king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and cobia) is managed under the
Fishery Management Plan for the Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources of

the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery Management 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.
Gulf migratory group king mackerel's Florida west coast subzone of
the Gulf eastern zone is divided into northern and southern subzones,
each with separate quotas. The southern subzone is that part of the
Florida west coast subzone, which from November 1 through March 31,
extends south and west from 25[deg]20.4' N. lat. (a line directly east
from the Miami-Dade/Monroe County, FL, boundary), north to 26[deg]19.8'
N. lat. (a line directly west from the Lee/Collier County, FL,
boundary), i.e., the area off Monroe and Collier Counties. From April 1
through October 31, the southern subzone is that part of the Florida
west coast subzone that is between 26[deg]19.8' N. lat. (a line
directly west from the Lee/Collier County, FL, boundary) and 25[deg]48'
N. lat. (a line directly west from the Monroe/Collier County, FL,
boundary), i.e., the area off Collier County (50 CFR
622.384(b)(1)(i)(C)).
On January 30, 2012 (76 FR 82058, December 29, 2011), NMFS
implemented a commercial ACL (commercial quota) for the Gulf migratory
group king mackerel in the southern Florida west coast subzone of
551,448 lb (250,133 kg) for vessels using run-around gillnet gear (50
CFR 622.384(b)(1)(i)(B)(1)), for the current fishing year, July 1,
2013, through June 30, 2014.
[[Page 5301]]
Regulations at 50 CFR 622.8(b) require NMFS to close any segment of
the king mackerel commercial sector when its ACL (quota) has been
reached, or is projected to be reached, by filing a notification with
the Office of the Federal Register. NMFS has determined that the
commercial ACL (commercial quota) of 551,448 lb (250,133 kg) for Gulf
group king mackerel for vessels using run-around gillnet gear in the
southern Florida west coast subzone will be reached on [January 29,
2014. Accordingly, commercial fishing for such vessels in the southern
Florida west coast subzone is closed at 12:01 p.m., eastern standard
time, January 29, 2014, through 6 a.m., eastern standard time, January
20, 2015, the beginning of the next fishing season, i.e., the day after
the 2015 Martin Luther King Jr. Federal holiday. Accordingly, the
operator of a vessel that has been issued a Federal commercial permit
to harvest Gulf migratory group king mackerel using run-around gillnet
gear in the southern Florida west coast subzone must have landed ashore
and bartered, traded, or sold such king mackerel prior to 12:01 p.m.,
eastern standard time, January 29, 2014.
Except for a person aboard a charter vessel or headboat, during the
closure, 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 harvested using run-around gillnet gear in the southern
Florida west coast subzone. Persons aboard a vessel for which a
commercial permit for king mackerel has been issued, except persons who
also possess a king mackerel gillnet permit, may fish for or retain
Gulf group king mackerel harvested using hook-and-line gear in the
southern Florida west coast subzone at this time. A person aboard a
vessel that has a valid charter vessel/headboat permit for coastal
migratory pelagic fish may continue to retain king mackerel in or from
the closed zones or subzones under the bag and possession limits set
forth in 50 CFR 622.382(a)(1)(ii) and (a)(2), provided the vessel is
operating as a charter vessel or headboat. A charter vessel or headboat
that also has a commercial king mackerel permit is considered to be
operating as a charter vessel or headboat when it carries a passenger
who pays a fee or when there are more than three persons aboard,
including operator and crew.
During the closure, king mackerel harvested using run-around
gillnet gear in the southern Florida west coast subzone, including
those harvested under the bag and possession limits, may not be
purchased or sold. This prohibition does not apply to king mackerel
harvested using run-around gillnet gear in the southern Florida west
coast subzone that were harvested, landed ashore, and sold prior to the
closure and were held in cold storage by a dealer or processor.
Classification
The Regional Administrator, Southeast Region, NMFS, has determined
this temporary rule is necessary for the conservation and management of
Gulf migratory group king mackerel and is consistent with the Magnuson-
Stevens Act and other applicable laws.
This action is taken under 50 CFR 622.8(b) and is exempt from
review under Executive Order 12866.
These measures are exempt from the procedures of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act because the temporary rule is issued without
opportunity for prior notice and comment.
This action responds to the best available information recently
obtained from the fisheries. The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,
NOAA (AA), finds that the need to immediately implement this action to
close the fishery 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). Such procedures would be
unnecessary because the rule implementing the ACL (quota) and the
associated requirement for closure of the commercial harvest when the
ACL (quota) is reached or projected to be reached has already been
subject to notice and comment, and all that remains is to notify the
public of the closure.
Providing prior notice and opportunity for public comment on this
action would be contrary to the public interest because any delay in
the closure of the commercial harvest could result in the commercial
quota being exceeded. There is a need to immediately implement this
action to protect the king mackerel resource because the capacity of
the fishing fleet allows for rapid harvest of the quota.
For the aforementioned reasons, the AA also finds good cause to
waive the 30-day delay in effectiveness under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
