ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
NMFS implements an
accountability measure (AM) to close
the hook-and-line component of the
commercial sector for king mackerel in
the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) southern zone.
This closure is necessary to protect the
Gulf king mackerel resource.
DATES: This temporary rule is effective
from 12:01 a.m., local time, on February
22, 2019, through June 30, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
fishery for coastal migratory pelagic fish
includes king mackerel, Spanish
mackerel, and cobia, and is managed
under the Fishery Management Plan for
the Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources
of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic
Region (FMP). The FMP was prepared
by the Gulf of Mexico and South
Atlantic Fishery Management Councils
and is implemented by NMFS under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by
regulations at 50 CFR part 622. All
weights for Gulf migratory group king
mackerel (Gulf king mackerel) below
apply as either round or gutted weight.
The king mackerel fishery in the Gulf
is divided into western, northern, and
southern zones, which have separate
commercial quotas. The southern zone
for Gulf king mackerel encompasses an
area of the exclusive economic zone
(EEZ) south of a line extending due west
from the boundary of Lee and Collier
Counties on the Florida west coast, and
south of a line extending due east from
the boundary of Monroe and MiamiDade Counties on the Florida east coast,
which includes the EEZ off Collier and
Monroe Counties in south Florida (50
CFR 622.369(a)(1)(iii)).

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 37 / Monday, February 25, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES
The commercial quota for the hookand-line component of the commercial
sector in the southern zone is 585,900
lb (265,760 kg) for the current fishing
year, July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019
(50 CFR 622.384(b)(1)(iii)(A)).
Regulations at 50 CFR 622.8(b) and
622.388(a)(1) require NMFS to close any
component of the king mackerel
commercial sector when its quota has
been reached, or is projected to be
reached, by filing a notification with the
Office of the Federal Register. NMFS has
determined the commercial quota for
the hook-and-line component of the
commercial sector for Gulf king
mackerel in the southern zone will be
reached by February 22, 2019.
Accordingly, the hook-and-line
component of the commercial sector for
Gulf king mackerel in the southern zone
is closed effective at 12:01 a.m., local
time, on February 22, 2019, through the
end of the fishing year on June 30, 2019.
NMFS has also determined that the
Gulf king mackerel commercial quota
for vessels using run-around gillnet gear
in the southern zone was reached on
February 8, 2019, and therefore on that
date, NMFS closed the southern zone to
commercial king mackerel fishing using
run-around gillnet gear (84 FR 3723,
February 13, 2019). Accordingly, all
commercial fishing for Gulf king
mackerel in the southern zone is closed
effective at 12:01 a.m., local time, on
February 22, 2019. The commercial
hook-and-line component for Gulf king
mackerel in the southern zone will
reopen on July 1, 2019. The commercial
run-around gillnet component will
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:59 Feb 22, 2019
Jkt 247001
reopen at 6 a.m., eastern time, on
January 21, 2020.
A person aboard a vessel that has a
valid Federal commercial permit for
king mackerel may continue to retain
king mackerel under the bag and
possession limits set forth in 50 CFR
622.382(a)(1)(ii) and (a)(2), as long as
the recreational sector for Gulf king
mackerel is open (50 CFR 622.384(e)(1)).
During the commercial closure, king
mackerel caught with hook-and-line
gear from the closed zone, including
those harvested under the bag and
possession limits, may not be purchased
or sold. This prohibition does not apply
to king mackerel caught with hook-andline gear from the closed zone that were
harvested, landed ashore, and sold prior
to the closure and were held in cold
storage by a dealer or processor (50 CFR
622.384(e)(2)).
Classification
The Regional Administrator for the
NMFS Southeast Region has determined
this temporary rule is necessary for the
conservation and management of Gulf
king mackerel and is consistent with the
Magnuson-Stevens Act and other
applicable laws.
This action is taken under 50 CFR
622.8(b) and 622.388(a)(1), and is
exempt from review under Executive
Order 12866.
These measures are exempt from the
procedures of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the temporary rule is issued
without opportunity for prior notice and
comment.

This action responds to the best
scientific information available. The
Assistant Administrator for NOAA
Fisheries (AA) finds good cause to
waive the requirements to provide prior
notice and opportunity for public
comment on this temporary rule
pursuant to the authority set forth in 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), as such procedures are
unnecessary and contrary to the public
interest. Such procedures are
unnecessary because the rule
implementing the commercial quota and
the associated AM has already been
subject to notice and public comment,
and all that remains is to notify the
public of the closure. Additionally,
allowing prior notice and opportunity
for public comment is contrary to the
public interest because of the need to
implement immediately this action to
protect the king mackerel stock, because
the capacity of the fishing fleet allows
for rapid harvest of the commercial
quota. Prior notice and opportunity for
public comment would require time and
could potentially result in a harvest well
in excess of the established commercial
quota.
For the aforementioned reasons, the
AA also finds good cause to waive the
30-day delay in effectiveness of the
action under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The fishery for coastal migratory pelagic
fish includes king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and cobia, and is
managed under the Fishery Management Plan for the Coastal Migratory
Pelagic Resources of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Region (FMP). The
FMP was prepared by the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery
Management Councils and is implemented by NMFS under the authority of
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-
Stevens Act) by regulations at 50 CFR part 622. All weights for Gulf
migratory group king mackerel (Gulf king mackerel) below apply as
either round or gutted weight.
The king mackerel fishery in the Gulf is divided into western,
northern, and southern zones, which have separate commercial quotas.
The southern zone for Gulf king mackerel encompasses an area of the
exclusive economic zone (EEZ) south of a line extending due west from
the boundary of Lee and Collier Counties on the Florida west coast, and
south of a line extending due east from the boundary of Monroe and
Miami-Dade Counties on the Florida east coast, which includes the EEZ
off Collier and Monroe Counties in south Florida (50 CFR
622.369(a)(1)(iii)).
[[Page 5956]]
The commercial quota for the hook-and-line component of the
commercial sector in the southern zone is 585,900 lb (265,760 kg) for
the current fishing year, July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019 (50 CFR
622.384(b)(1)(iii)(A)).
Regulations at 50 CFR 622.8(b) and 622.388(a)(1) require NMFS to

closed effective at 12:01 a.m., local time, on February 22, 2019,
through the end of the fishing year on June 30, 2019.
NMFS has also determined that the Gulf king mackerel commercial
quota for vessels using run-around gillnet gear in the southern zone
was reached on February 8, 2019, and therefore on that date, NMFS
closed the southern zone to commercial king mackerel fishing using run-
around gillnet gear (84 FR 3723, February 13, 2019). Accordingly, all
commercial fishing for Gulf king mackerel in the southern zone is
closed effective at 12:01 a.m., local time, on February 22, 2019. The
commercial hook-and-line component for Gulf king mackerel in the
southern zone will reopen on July 1, 2019. The commercial run-around
gillnet component will reopen at 6 a.m., eastern time, on January 21,
2020.
A person aboard a vessel that has a valid Federal commercial permit
