The A season apportionment of the
2014 Pacific cod total allowable catch
(TAC) specified for vessels using jig gear
in the BSAI is 1,905 metric tons (mt) as
established by the final 2013 and 2014
harvest specifications for groundfish in
the BSAI (78 FR 13813, March 1, 2013)
and inseason adjustment (78 FR 758,
January 7, 2014).
The Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS, (Regional Administrator) has
determined that jig vessels will not be
able to harvest 1,700 mt of the A season
apportionment of the 2014 Pacific cod
TAC allocated to those vessels under
§ 679.20(a)(7)(ii)(A)(1). Therefore, in
accordance with § 679.20(a)(7)(iv)(C),
NMFS apportions 1,700 mt of Pacific
cod from the A season jig gear
apportionment to the annual amount
specified for catcher vessels less than 60
feet (18.3 meters(m)) length overall
(LOA) using hook-and-line or pot gear.

cod included in the final 2014 harvest

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 reallocation of Pacific cod
specified from jig vessels to catcher
vessels less than 60 feet (18.3 m) LOA
using hook-and-line or pot gear. Since
the fishery is currently open, it is
important to immediately inform the
industry as to the revised allocations.
Immediate notification is necessary to
allow for the orderly conduct and
efficient operation of this fishery, to
allow the industry to plan for the fishing
season, and to avoid potential
disruption to the fishing fleet as well as
processors. NMFS was unable to
publish a notice providing time for
public comment because the most

available as of January 30, 2014.
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
