SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed
fishing for Pacific cod by catcher vessels
using trawl gear in the Central
Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska
(GOA). This action is necessary to
prevent exceeding the A season
allowance of the 2019 Pacific cod total
allowable catch apportioned to trawl
catcher vessels in the Central Regulatory
Area of the GOA.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
Regulations governing sideboard
protections for GOA groundfish
fisheries appear at subpart B of 50 CFR
part 680.
The A season allowance of the 2019
Pacific cod total allowable catch (TAC)
apportioned to trawl catcher vessels in
the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA
is 1,203 metric tons (mt), as established
by the final 2018 and 2019 harvest
specifications for groundfish of the GOA
(83 FR 8768, March 1, 2018).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS (Regional Administrator) has
determined that the A season allowance
of the 2019 Pacific cod TAC
apportioned to trawl catcher vessels in
the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA
is necessary to account for the
incidental catch in other anticipated
fisheries. Therefore, the Regional
Administrator is establishing a directed
fishing allowance of 0 mt and is setting
aside the remaining 1,203 mt as bycatch
to support other anticipated groundfish
fisheries. In accordance with

CBP Dec. 19–01.

§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional
Administrator finds that this directed
fishing allowance has been reached.
Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting
directed fishing for Pacific cod by
catcher vessels using trawl gear in the
Central Regulatory Area of the GOA.
After the effective date of this closure
the maximum retainable amounts at
§ 679.20(e) and (f) apply at any time
during a trip. This closure does not
apply to fishing by vessels participating
in the cooperative fishery of the
Rockfish Program for the Central GOA.
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 directed fishing closure of
Pacific cod by catcher vessels using
trawl gear in the Central 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 December 18, 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

BSAI as established by the final 2018
and 2019 harvest specifications for
groundfish in the BSAI (83 FR 8365,
