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 C season allowance of the 2018
total allowable catch (TAC) of pollock in
Statistical Area 620 of the GOA is
10,441 metric tons (mt) as established
by the final 2018 and 2019 harvest
specifications for groundfish in the GOA
(83 FR 8768, March 1, 2018) and
inseason adjustment (83 FR 42609,
August 23, 2018).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Regional Administrator has
determined that the C season allowance
of the 2018 TAC of pollock in Statistical
Area 620 of the GOA will soon be
reached. Therefore, the Regional
Administrator is establishing a directed
fishing allowance of 10,241 mt and is
setting aside the remaining 200 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 pollock in Statistical
Area 620 of the GOA. While this closure
is effective the maximum retainable
amounts at § 679.20(e) and (f) apply at
any time during a trip.

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 closure of directed fishing for
pollock in Statistical Area 620 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 August 30, 2018.
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 is exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
