Aleutian Islands Management Area
(FMP) prepared by the North Pacific
Fishery Management Council under
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
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 2016 flathead sole, rock sole, and
yellowfin sole CDQ reserves specified in
the BSAI are 1,832 metric tons (mt),
5,460 mt, and 16,473 mt as established
by the final 2016 and 2017 harvest
specifications for groundfish in the
BSAI (81 FR 14773, March 18, 2016)
and following revision (81 FR 63716,
September 16, 2016). The 2016 flathead
sole, rock sole, and yellowfin sole CDQ
ABC reserves are 5,257 mt, 11,778 mt,
and 6,179 mt as established by the final
2016 and 2017 harvest specifications for
groundfish in the BSAI (81 FR 14773,
March 18, 2016) and following revision
(81 FR 63716, September 16, 2016).
The Coastal Villages Regional Fund
has requested that NMFS exchange 215
mt of flathead sole and 245 mt of rock
sole CDQ reserves for 460 mt of
yellowfin sole CDQ ABC reserves under
64783
§ 679.31(d). Therefore, in accordance
with § 679.31(d), NMFS exchanges 215
mt of flathead sole, 245 mt of rock sole
CDQ reserves for 460 mt of yellowfin
sole CDQ ABC reserves in the BSAI.
This action also decreases and increases
the TACs and CDQ ABC reserves by the
corresponding amounts. Tables 11 and

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 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 recent,
relevant data only became available as of September 8, 2016.
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 Sec. 679.20 and is exempt from review
under Executive Order 12866.
