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. Regulations
governing sideboard protections for
GOA groundfish fisheries appear at
subpart B of 50 CFR part 680.
The annual 2024 Pacific cod
sideboard limit established for nonexempt AFA catcher vessels in the
Central Regulatory Area is 708 metric
tons (mt), as established by the final
2023 and 2024 harvest specifications for
groundfish in the GOA (88 FR 13238,
March 2, 2023).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(iv),
the Regional Administrator has
determined that the annual 2024 Pacific
cod sideboard limit established for nonexempt AFA catcher vessels in the
Central Regulatory Area will soon be
reached. Therefore, the Regional
Administrator is establishing a directed
fishing allowance of 0 mt and is setting
aside the remaining 708 mt as bycatch

Jkt 262001
to support other anticipated groundfish
fisheries. In accordance with
§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii) and (iv), the Regional
Administrator finds that this sideboard
directed fishing allowance has been
reached. Consequently, NMFS is
prohibiting directed fishing for the
annual 2024 Pacific cod sideboard limit
for non-exempt AFA catcher vessels 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 directed fishing
closure of the annual 2024 Pacific cod
sideboard limit for the non-exempt AFA
catcher vessels 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 February 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.
