not to use available and applicable
voluntary consensus standards.
This final rulemaking does not
involve technical standards. Therefore,
EPA is not considering the use of any
voluntary consensus standards.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
Executive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR
7629 (Feb. 16, 1994) establishes federal
executive policy on environmental
justice. Its main provision directs
federal agencies, to the greatest extent
practicable and permitted by law, to
make environmental justice part of their
mission by identifying and addressing,
as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority
populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
EPA has determined that this final
rule will not have disproportionately
high and adverse human health or
environmental effects on minority or
low-income populations because it does
not affect the level of protection
provided to human health or the
environment. This final rulemaking
does not involve human health or
environmental effects.

ACTION:
Temporary rule; closure.
NMFS is prohibiting directed
fishing for Pacific ocean perch in the
Western Regulatory Area of the Gulf of
Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary
to prevent exceeding the 2014 total
allowable catch of Pacific ocean perch
in the Western Regulatory Area of the
GOA.
SUMMARY:
Effective 1200 hours, Alaska

2400 hours, A.l.t., December 31, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Obren Davis, 907–586–7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 2014 total allowable catch (TAC)
of Pacific ocean perch in the Western
Regulatory Area of the GOA is 2,399
metric tons (mt) as established by the
final 2014 and 2015 harvest
specifications for groundfish of the (79
FR 12890, March 6, 2014).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i)
and (ii)(B), the Administrator, Alaska
Region, NMFS (Regional Administrator),
has determined that the 2014 TAC of
Pacific ocean perch in the Western
Regulatory Area of the GOA will be
taken as incidental catch in directed
fisheries for other species. Therefore,
the Regional Administrator is
establishing a directed fishing
allowance of 99 mt, and is setting aside
2,300 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 Pacific
ocean perch 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) apply at any time
during a trip.

pursuant to the authority set forth at 5

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 closure of directed fishing for
Pacific ocean perch 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 26, 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.

the reasons provided above for waiver of
prior notice and opportunity for public
comment.
