Because DOT subsequently received adverse comment on that direct final rule, we are withdrawing the direct final rule.

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. NMFS closes the Angling category Gulf of Maine area fishery for large medium and giant (‘‘trophy’’ (i.e., measuring 73 inches (185 centimeters) curved fork length or greater)) Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT). This action applies to Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Angling and HMS Charter/Headboat permitted vessels when fishing recreationally. DATES: Effective 11:30 p.m., local time, July 31, 2024, through December 31, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anna Quintrell, anna.quintrell@ noaa.gov or Larry Redd, Jr., larry.redd@ noaa.gov, 301–427–8503. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BFT fisheries are managed under the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic HMS Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and its amendments, pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act; 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and consistent with the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA; 16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.). HMS implementing regulations are at 50 CFR part 635. Section 635.27 divides the U.S. BFT quota, established by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and as implemented by the United States among the various domestic fishing categories, per the allocations established in the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP and its amendments. NMFS is required under the Magnuson-Stevens Act at 16 U.S.C. 1854(g)(1)(D) to provide U.S. fishing vessels with a reasonable opportunity to harvest quotas under relevant international fishery agreements such as the ICCAT Convention, which is implemented domestically pursuant to ATCA. Under § 635.28(a)(1), NMFS files a closure notice with the Office of the Federal Register for publication when a BFT quota (or subquota) is reached or is projected to be reached. Retaining, possessing, or landing BFT under that quota category is prohibited on and after the effective date and time of a closure action for that category, for the remainder of the fishing year, until the opening of the subsequent quota period or until such date as specified. The 2024 BFT fishing year, which is managed on a calendar-year basis and subject to an annual calendar-year quota, began January 1, 2024. The Angling category season opened January 1, 2024, and continues through SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 December 31, 2024. As described in § 635.27(a), the current baseline U.S. BFT quota is 1,316.14 metric tons (mt) (not including the 25 mt ICCAT allocated to the United States to account for bycatch of BFT in pelagic longline fisheries in the Northeast Distant Gear Restricted Area per § 635.27(a)(3)). The Angling category baseline quota is 297.4 mt, of which 9.2 mt (3.1 percent of the annual Angling category quota) is suballocated for the harvest of large medium and giant (trophy) BFT by vessels fishing under the Angling category quota, with 2.3 mt (25 percent of the annual large medium and giant BFT Angling category quota) allocated for each of the following areas: north of latitude (lat.) 42° N (the Gulf of Maine area); south of lat. 42° N and north of lat. 39°18′ N (the southern New England area); south of lat. 39°18′ N and outside of the Gulf of Mexico (the southern area); and the Gulf of Mexico region. Trophy BFT measure 73 inches (185 centimeters) curved fork length or greater. This closure action applies to the Gulf of Maine area. Angling Category Trophy Bluefin Tuna Gulf of Maine Fishery Closure Based on landings data from the NMFS Automated Catch Reporting System, as well as average catch rates and anticipated fishing conditions, NMFS projects the Angling category Gulf of Maine area trophy BFT subquota of 2.3 mt has been reached and exceeded. Therefore, retaining, possessing, or landing large medium or giant (i.e., measuring 73 inches (185 cm) curved fork length or greater) BFT in the Gulf of Maine area by persons aboard HMS Angling and HMS Charter/ Headboat permitted vessels (when fishing recreationally) must cease at 11:30 p.m. local time on July 31, 2024. This closure will remain effective through December 31, 2024. This action applies to HMS Angling and HMS Charter/Headboat permitted vessels when fishing recreationally for BFT, and is taken consistent with the regulations at § 635.28(a)(1). This action is intended to prevent further overharvest of the Angling category Gulf of Maine area trophy BFT subquota. NMFS previously closed the 2024 trophy BFT fishery in the southern area on February 9, 2024 (89 FR 10007, February 13, 2024), in the southern New England area on May 2, 2024 (89 FR 37139, May 6, 2024), and in the Gulf of Mexico area on May 29, 2023 (89 FR 47105, May 31, 2024). Therefore, with this closure of the Gulf of Maine area trophy BFT fishery, the Angling category trophy BFT fishery will be closed in all areas for 2024. E:\FR\FM\01AUR1.SGM 01AUR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 21, 2024, DOT published a direct 
final rule (89 FR 51984). We stated in that direct final rule that if 
we received adverse comment by June 22, 2024, the direct final rule 
would not take effect and we would publish a timely withdrawal in the 
Federal Register. Because DOT subsequently received adverse comment on 
that direct final rule, we are withdrawing the direct final rule.
    DOT published a parallel proposed rule on the same day (89 FR 
52002, June 21, 2024) as the direct final rule, which proposed the same 
rule changes as the direct final rule. The proposed rule invited 
comment on the substance of these rule changes. DOT will respond to 
comments as part of any final action taken on the parallel proposed 
rule. As stated in the direct final rule and the parallel proposed 
rule, we will not institute a second comment period on this action.
