A final rule (88 FR 21503, April 11, 2023) implemented management measures consistent with the recommendations made by the Council in its 2023 Catch Sharing Plan, including days the fishery is open and subarea allocations in Area 2A.

ACTION: Final rule; correction. AGENCY: This action makes two corrections to the final rule that approved the 2023 Area 2A Pacific halibut catch sharing plan and implemented recreational management measures, which published on April 11, 2023. Specifically, NMFS is correcting the open fishing dates listed for the Washington South Coast subarea fishery and a reference to the subarea allocation amount for the Washington South Coast fishery. DATES: Effective May 12, 2023. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Katie Davis, West Coast Region, NMFS, (323) 372–2126, Katie.Davis@noaa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS manages the Pacific halibut fishery in International Pacific Halibut Commission Regulatory Area 2A (waters off Washington, Oregon, and California) in accordance with the Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982 (Halibut Act), 16 U.S.C. 773–773k. As provided in the Halibut Act, the Regional Fishery Management Council having authority for the geographic area concerned may develop, and the Secretary of Commerce may implement, regulations governing Pacific halibut fishing in U.S. waters that are in addition to, and not in conflict with, approved International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) regulations (16 U.S.C. 773c(c)). Since 1988, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) has developed a ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:11 May 12, 2023 Jkt 259001 Season Dates On page 21504 of the final rule, NMFS inadvertently excluded three days the Council intended the fishery to be open in the Washington South Coast subarea: May 16, 20, and 30. At its November meeting, the Council recommended NMFS implement specific season dates for fishing in the Washington South Coast subarea. These dates were developed at the Council’s September and November meetings with opportunity for public input. Specifically, the Council recommended that the Washington South Coast subarea be open for fishing on ‘‘May 4 through May 23, three days per week, Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday; Memorial Day weekend, open Thursday, May 25, and Tuesday, May 30’’; however, the final rule inadvertently excluded Tuesdays in May. As such, consistent with the intent of the Council, the corrected season dates for the Washington South Coast subarea in May are: 1. May 4, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 25, and 30. There are no other corrections to the season dates published in the final rule. Subarea Allocation Under the allocation framework the Council adopted in the Catch Sharing Plan, the Washington South Coast subarea is allocated 12.3 percent of the first 130,845 lb allocated to the Washington recreational fishery, and 32 percent of the Washington recreational allocation between 130,845 lb and 224,110 lb. Consistent with this framework and the allocation the IPHC PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 30907 set for Area 2A in 2023 (88 FR 14066, March 7, 2023), the Washington South Coast subarea is allocated 64,376 lb in 2023. Page 21504 of the final rule, consistent with the allocation framework in the Catch Sharing Plan, states that the Washington South Coast subarea allocation is 64,376 lb. However, the following paragraph on page 21504 incorrectly states that the subarea fishery would remain open ‘‘until 68,555 lb (31.10 mt) is projected to be taken,’’ which is inconsistent with the subarea allocation for 2023. As such, consistent with the intent of the Council, the corrected statement regarding the time at which the Washington South Coast subarea will close is as follows: 1. The fishing season in the Washington South Coast northern nearshore area commences the Saturday subsequent to the closure of the primary fishery in May or June if allocation remains in the Washington South Coast subarea allocation, and continues 7 days per week until 64,376 lb (29.20 mt) is projected to be taken by the two fisheries combined and the fishery is therefore closed or on September 30, whichever is earlier. There are no other corrections to the final rule published April 11, 2023. Classifications Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and comment procedures for rules when the agency for ‘‘good cause’’ finds that those procedures are ‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’’ The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries determined there is good cause to waive prior notice and an opportunity for public comment on this action as notice and comment would be impracticable and contrary to public interest because this action is necessary to correct an inadvertent error in the April 11, 2023, final rule (88 FR 21503). Immediate correction of the error is necessary to prevent confusion among participants in the fishery and to ensure management of the fishery is consistent with both the Council’s intent for regulations developed over two public meetings and the public’s expectations based on recommendations made in the Council’s Catch Sharing Plan, as well as outreach materials distributed by the State of Washington. The corrected dates are also consistent with dates the fishery was open in 2022. Thus, delaying this correction to engage in notice-and-comment rulemaking would be contrary to the public interest. Under section 553(d) of the APA, an agency must delay the effective date of E:\FR\FM\15MYR1.SGM 15MYR1
