ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
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 annual allowance
of the 2019 Pacific cod total allowable
catch apportioned to trawl catcher
vessels in the Central Regulatory Area of
the GOA.
DATES: Effective 1200 hours, Alaska
local time (A.l.t.), September 1, 2019,
through 2400 hours, A.l.t., December 31,
2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

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 annual allowance of the 2019
Pacific cod total allowable catch (TAC)
apportioned to trawl catcher vessels in
the Central Regulatory Area of the GOA
not participating in the cooperative
fishery of the Rockfish Program is 2,148
metric tons (mt), as established by the
final 2019 and 2020 harvest
specifications for groundfish of the GOA
(84 FR 9416, March 14, 2019).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS (Regional Administrator) has
determined that the annual 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 2,148 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 Pacific cod by
catcher vessels using trawl gear in the
Central Regulatory Area 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. 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 August 28, 2019.

date of this action under 5 U.S.C.

the reasons provided above for waiver of
prior notice and opportunity for public
comment.

(84 FR 9416, March 14, 2019).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS (Regional Administrator) has
determined that the 2019 Pacific cod
TAC apportioned to catcher vessels
using hook-and-line gear in the Western
Regulatory Area of the GOA will soon
be reached. Therefore, the Regional
Administrator is establishing a directed
fishing allowance of 20 mt and is setting
aside the remaining 53 mt as bycatch to
support other anticipated groundfish
fisheries. In accordance with
§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional
Administrator finds that this directed

Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting
