[Docket No. 230224–0053; RTID 0648–

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic
Zone Off Alaska; Pacific Cod by
Catcher Vessels Using Trawl Gear in
the Central Regulatory Area of the Gulf
of Alaska
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
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 A season
allowance of the 2024 total allowable
catch of Pacific cod by catcher vessels
using trawl gear in the Central
Regulatory Area of the GOA.
DATES: Effective 1200 hours, Alaska
local time (A.l.t.), January 20, 2024,
through 1200 hours, A.l.t., June 10,
2024.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Abby Jahn, 907–586–7416.
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 (Magnuson-Stevens
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.
The A season allowance of the 2024
Pacific cod total allowable catch (TAC)
apportioned to catcher vessels using
trawl gear in the Central Regulatory
Area of the GOA is 3,867 metric tons
(mt) as established by the final 2023 and
2024 harvest specifications for
groundfish in the GOA (88 FR 13238,
March 2, 2023) and inseason adjustment
(88 FR 88840, December 26, 2023).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),
the Regional Administrator has
determined that the A season allowance
of the 2024 Pacific cod TAC
apportioned to catcher vessels using
trawl gear in the Central Regulatory
Area of the GOA will soon be reached.
Therefore, the Regional Administrator is
establishing a directed fishing
allowance of 0 mt and is setting aside
the remaining 3,767 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.
Classification
NMFS issues this action pursuant to
section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act. This action is required by 50 CFR
part 679, which was issued pursuant to
section 304(b), and is exempt from
review under Executive Order 12866.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), 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
the public interest, as it would prevent
NMFS from responding to the most
recent fisheries data in a timely fashion
and would delay the 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 January 12, 2024.
The Assistant Administrator for
Fisheries, NOAA also finds good cause
to waive the 30-day delay in the
effective date of this action under 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3). This finding is based
upon the reasons provided above for
waiver of prior notice and opportunity
for public comment.

In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i)
and § 679.20(d)(1)(ii)(B), the
Administrator, Alaska Region, NMFS
(Regional Administrator), has
determined that the annual 2024 Pacific
cod TAC allocated to AFA trawl

catch to support other anticipated
groundfish fisheries. In accordance with
