Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic
Zone Off Alaska; Reallocation of
Pollock in the Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule.
AGENCY:
NMFS is reallocating the
projected unused amounts of the
Community Development Quota pollock
directed fishing allowances from the
Aleutian Islands subarea to the Bering
Sea subarea. This action is necessary to
provide opportunity for harvest of the
2015 total allowable catch of pollock,
consistent with the goals and objectives
of the Fishery Management Plan for
Groundfish of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands Management Area.
DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local
time (A.l.t.), March 11, 2015 through
2400 hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Steve Whitney, 907–586–7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
BSAI exclusive economic zone
according to the Fishery Management
Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea
and Aleutian Islands Management Area
(FMP) prepared by the North Pacific
Fishery Management Council (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.
In the Aleutian Islands subarea, the
portion of the 2015 pollock total
allowable catch (TAC) allocated to the
Community Development Quota (CDQ)
directed fishing allowance (DFA) is
1,900 metric tons (mt) as established by
the final 2015 and 2016 harvest
specifications for groundfish in the
BSAI (80 FR 11919, March 5, 2015).
As of March 5, 2015, the
Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS,
(Regional Administrator) has
determined that 1,900 mt of pollock
CDQ DFA in the Aleutian Islands
subarea will not be harvested.
Therefore, in accordance with
§ 679.20(a)(5)(iii)(B)(4), NMFS
SUMMARY:
E:\FR\FM\11MRR1.SGM
11MRR1

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 47 / Wednesday, March 11, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
reallocates 1,900 mt of pollock CDQ
DFA from the Aleutian Islands subarea
to the 2015 Bering Sea subarea
allocations. The 1,900 mt of pollock
CDQ DFA is added to the 2015 Bering
Sea CDQ DFA. As a result, the 2015
harvest specifications for pollock in the
Aleutian Islands subarea included in the
final 2015 and 2016 harvest
specifications for groundfish in the
BSAI (80 FR 11919, March 5, 2015) are
revised as follows: 0 mt to CDQ DFA.
Furthermore, pursuant to § 679.20(a)(5),
Table 4 of the final 2015 and 2016
harvest specifications for groundfish in
the BSAI (80 FR 11919, March 5, 2015),
is revised to make 2015 pollock
allocations consistent with this
reallocation. This reallocation results in
adjustments to the 2015 CDQ pollock
allocations established at § 679.20(a)(5).

1 Pursuant to § 679.20(a)(5)(i)(A), the BS subarea pollock, after subtracting the CDQ DFA (10 percent) and the ICA (4.0 percent), is allocated
as a DFA as follows: Inshore sector—50 percent, catcher/processor sector (C/P)—40 percent, and mothership sector—10 percent. In the BS
subarea, 40 percent of the DFA is allocated to the A season (January 20–June 10) and 60 percent of the DFA is allocated to the B season (June
10–November 1). Pursuant to § 679.20(a)(5)(iii)(B)(2)(i) and (ii), the annual AI pollock TAC, after subtracting first for the CDQ directed fishing allowance (10 percent) and second the ICA (2,400 mt), is allocated to the Aleut Corporation for a pollock directed fishery. In the AI subarea, the A
season is allocated 40 percent of the ABC and the B season is allocated the remainder of the pollock directed fishery.
2 In the BS subarea, no more than 28 percent of each sector’s annual DFA may be taken from the SCA before April 1.
3 Pursuant to § 679.20(a)(5)(i)(A)(4), not less than 8.5 percent of the DFA allocated to listed catcher/processors shall be available for harvest
only by eligible catcher vessels delivering to listed catcher/processors.
4 Pursuant to § 679.20(a)(5)(i)(A)(4)(iii), the AFA unlisted catcher/processors are limited to harvesting not more than 0.5 percent of the catcher/
processors sector’s allocation of pollock.
5 Pursuant to § 679.20(a)(5)(i)(A)(6), NMFS establishes an excessive harvesting share limit equal to 17.5 percent of the sum of the non-CDQ
pollock DFAs.
6 Pursuant to § 679.20(a)(5)(i)(A)(7), NMFS establishes an excessive processing share limit equal to 30.0 percent of the sum of the non-CDQ
pollock DFAs.
7 Pursuant to § 679.20(a)(5)(iii)(B)(6), NMFS establishes harvest limits for pollock in the A season in Area 541 no more than 30 percent, in
Area 542 no more than 15 percent, and in Area 543 no more than 5 percent of the Aleutian Islands pollock ABC.
8 The Bogoslof District is closed by the final harvest specifications to directed fishing for pollock. The amounts specified are for ICA only and
are not apportioned by season or sector.
Note: Seasonal or sector apportionments may not total precisely due to rounding.

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 AI pollock.
Since the pollock fishery is currently
underway, it is important to
immediately inform the industry as to
the final Bering Sea subarea pollock
allocations. Immediate notification is
necessary to allow for the orderly
