by Non-American Fisheries Act Crab Vessels Operating as Catcher Vessels 
Using Pot Gear in the Western Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific cod by non-
American Fisheries Act (AFA) crab vessels that are subject to sideboard 
limits, and operating as catcher vessels (CVs) using pot gear, in the 
Western Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is 
necessary to prevent exceeding the A season allowance of the 2022 
sideboard limit established for non-AFA crab vessels that are operating 
as CVs using pot gear in the Western Regulatory Area of the GOA.

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local time (A.l.t.), February 7, 
2022, through 1200 hrs, A.l.t., June 10, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Krista Milani, 907-581-2062.

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 Magnuson-
Stevens 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 2022 Pacific cod sideboard limit 
established for non-AFA crab vessels, and that are operating as CVs 
using pot gear in the Western Regulatory Area of the GOA, is 442 metric 
tons (mt), as established by the final 2021 and 2022 harvest 
specification for groundfish in the GOA (86 FR 10184, February 19, 
2021) and inseason adjustment (86 FR 74384, December 30, 2021).
    In accordance with Sec.  679.20(d)(1)(i), the Regional 
Administrator has determined that the A season allowance of the 2022 
Pacific cod sideboard limit established for non-AFA crab vessels that 
are operating as CVs using pot gear in the Western Regulatory Area of 
the GOA will soon be reached. Therefore, the Regional Administrator is 
establishing a directed fishing allowance of 442 mt and is setting 
aside the remaining 0 mt as bycatch to support other anticipated 
groundfish fisheries. In accordance with Sec.  680.22(e)(3), the 
Regional Administrator finds that this sideboard directed fishing 
allowance has been reached. Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting directed 
fishing for Pacific cod by vessels using pot gear in the Western 
Regulatory Area of the GOA.
