school district in which they are located
and should use that school district’s
level of poverty to determine their
discount rate when applying as a library
system or as an individual library outlet
within that system. When a library
system has branches or outlets in more
than one public school district, that
library system and all library outlets
within that system should use the
address of the central outlet or main
administrative office to determine
which school district the library system
is in, and should use that school
district’s level of poverty to determine
its discount rate when applying as a
library system or as one or more library
outlets. If the library is not in a school
district, then its level of poverty shall be
based on an average of the percentage of
students eligible for the national school
lunch program in each of the school
districts that children living in the
library’s location attend.

NMFS is prohibiting retention
of thornyhead rockfish in the Western
Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska
(GOA). This action is necessary because
the 2014 total allowable catch of
thornyhead rockfish in the Western
Regulatory Area of the GOA will be
reached.
SUMMARY:
Effective 1200 hours, Alaska
local time (A.l.t.), November 13, 2014,
through 2400 hours, A.l.t., December 31,
2014.

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 thornyhead rockfish in the Western
Regulatory Area of the GOA is 235
metric tons (mt) as established by the
final 2014 and 2015 harvest
specifications for groundfish of the GOA
(79 FR 12890, March 6, 2014).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(2), the
Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS
(Regional Administrator), has
determined that the 2014 TAC of
thornyhead rockfish in the Western
Regulatory Area of the GOA will be
reached. Therefore, NMFS is requiring
that thornyhead rockfish caught in the
Western Regulatory Area of the GOA be
treated as prohibited species in
accordance with § 679.21(b).
Classification
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 prohibiting the retention of
thornyhead 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 November 12, 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
and § 679.21 and is exempt from review
under Executive Order 12866.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
Dated: November 13, 2014.
