Commercial Closure for Atlantic
Migratory Group Cobia
National Marine Fisheries

Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
NMFS implements a closure
for Atlantic migratory group cobia
(Atlantic cobia) that are sold
(commercial) and harvested from
Atlantic Federal waters off Georgia
through New York. NMFS projects that
commercial landings of Atlantic cobia
will reach the commercial quota on
November 6, 2020. Therefore, NMFS
closes the commercial sector for
Atlantic cobia in Federal waters from
November 6, 2020, until the start of the
next fishing year on January 1, 2021.
This closure is necessary to protect the
Atlantic cobia resource.
DATES: This temporary rule is effective
at 12:01 a.m. eastern time on November
6, 2020, until 12:01 a.m. eastern time on
January 1, 2021.

Coastal Act) by regulations at 50 CFR
part 697.
Separate migratory groups of cobia are
managed in the Gulf of Mexico and
Atlantic. Atlantic cobia is managed from
Georgia through New York. The
southern boundary for Atlantic cobia is
a line that extends due east of the
Florida and Georgia state border at
30°42′45.6″ N latitude. The northern
boundary for Atlantic cobia is the
jurisdictional boundary between the
Mid-Atlantic and New England Fishery
Management Councils, as specified in
50 CFR 600.105(a).
Amendment 31 to the Fishery
Management Plan (FMP) for Coastal
Migratory Pelagic Resources of the Gulf
of Mexico and Atlantic Region
(Amendment 31) and the implementing
final rule removed Atlantic cobia from
Federal management under the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
while also implementing comparable
regulations in Federal waters under the
Atlantic Coastal Act (84 FR 4733,
February 19, 2019).
Atlantic cobia are unique among
federally managed species in the U.S.
southeast region, because no
commercial permit is required to
harvest and sell them, and so the
distinction between the commercial and
recreational sectors is not as clear as
with other federally managed species.
However, for purposes of this temporary
rule, Atlantic cobia that are sold are
considered commercially caught, and
those that are not sold are considered
recreationally caught.

As specified in 50 CFR 697.28(f)(1),
the commercial quota for Atlantic cobia
is 50,000 pounds (lb) (22,680 kilograms
(kg)) in round or gutted weight for the
2020 fishing year, which runs from
January 1 through December 31.
Regulations for the commercial sector
of Atlantic cobia at 50 CFR 697.28(f)(1)
require that NMFS file a notification
with the Office of the Federal Register
to prohibit the sale and purchase of
Atlantic cobia for the remainder of the
fishing year if commercial landings
reach or are projected to reach the
commercial quota specified in 50 CFR
697.28(f)(1). NMFS projects that
commercial landings of Atlantic cobia
will reach the commercial quota on
November 6, 2020. Accordingly, the
commercial sector for Atlantic cobia is
closed in Federal waters beginning on
November 6, 2020, and will remain
closed until the start of the next fishing
year on January 1, 2021.
During the commercial closure, the
sale and purchase of Atlantic cobia is
prohibited. The recreational bag and
possession limits for Atlantic cobia
apply while the recreational sector is
open (50 CFR 697.28(e)). The
prohibition on sale and purchase does
not apply to Atlantic cobia that were
harvested, landed ashore, and sold
before November 6, 2020, and were held
in cold storage by a dealer or processor.
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.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), there
is good cause to waive prior notice and
an opportunity for public comment as
such procedures are unnecessary and
contrary to the public interest. Such
procedures are unnecessary because the
regulations associated with the
commercial quota for Atlantic cobia
have already been subject to notice and
comment, and all that remains is to
notify the public of the commercial
closure for the remainder of the 2020
fishing year. Prior notice and
opportunity for public comment on this
action is contrary to the public interest
because of the need to immediately
implement the commercial closure to
protect Atlantic cobia, since 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 would
potentially result in a harvest that
exceeds the commercial quota.
For the aforementioned reasons, there
is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)
to waive the 30-day delay in the
effective date of this action.
Classification
NMFS issues this action pursuant to
the Atlantic Coastal Act. This action is
required by 50 CFR 697.28(f)(1) and is
exempt from review under Executive
Order 12866.
