SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the groundfish fishery in the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
management area (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 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.
NMFS closed directed fishing for
Pacific ocean perch (POP) in the Bering
Sea subarea of the BSAI under
§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii) (81 FR 14773; March
18, 2016).
NMFS has determined that
approximately 4,280 metric tons of POP
remain in the directed fishing
allowance. Therefore, in accordance
with § 679.25(a)(1)(i), (a)(2)(i)(C), and
(a)(2)(iii)(D), and to fully utilize the
2016 total allowable catch of POP in the
ADDRESSES:
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
72739
Bering Sea subarea of the BSAI, NMFS
is terminating the previous closure and
is opening directed fishing for POP in
Bering Sea subarea of the BSAI, effective
1200 hrs, A.l.t., October 20, 2016,
through 1200 hrs, A.l.t., December 31,
2016. This will enhance the
socioeconomic well-being of harvesters
dependent on POP in this area.
The Administrator, Alaska Region
considered the following factors in
reaching this decision: (1) The current
catch of POP in the BSAI and, (2) the
harvest capacity and stated intent on
future harvesting patterns of vessels
participating in this fishery.
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 the opening of POP directed
fishing in the Bering Sea subarea of the
BSAI. NMFS was unable to publish a
notice providing time for public
comment because the most recent,
relevant data only became available as
of October 17, 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.
Without this inseason adjustment,
NMFS could not allow the fishery for
POP in the Bering Sea subarea of the
BSAI to be harvested in an expedient
manner and in accordance with the
regulatory schedule. Under
§ 679.25(c)(2), interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
this action to the above address until
November 4, 2016.
This action is required by §§ 679.20
and 679.25 and is exempt from review
under Executive Order 12866.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
Dated: October 18, 2016.
Emily H. Menashes,
Acting Director, Office of Sustainable
Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
