(k)(9) Any terminating provider that
blocks calls based on any analytics
program, either itself or through a thirdparty blocking service, must
immediately return, and all voice
service providers in the call path must
transmit, an appropriate response code
to the origination point of the call. For
purposes of this rule, an appropriate
response code is:
(i) In the case of a call terminating on
an IP network, the use of Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) code 603+, as
defined in ATIS–1000099, adopted
August 16, 2022;
(ii) In the case of a call terminating on
a non-IP network, the use of ISDN User
Part (ISUP) code 21 with the cause
location ‘‘user’’;
(iii) In the case of a code transmitting
from an IP network to a non-IP network,
SIP code 603+ must map to ISUP code
21; and
(iv) In the case of a code transmitting
from a non-IP network to an IP network,
ISUP code 21 must map to SIP code 603
or 603+ where the cause location is
‘‘user.’’

(o) A voice service provider must
block any calls purporting to originate
from a number on a reasonable do-notoriginate list. A list so limited in scope
that it leaves out obvious numbers that
could be included with little effort may
be deemed unreasonable. The do-notoriginate list may include only:

(1) Numbers for which the subscriber
to the number has requested that calls
purporting to originate from that
number be blocked because the number
is used for inbound calls only;

numbers that are not valid;

the calls is the allocatee of the number
and confirms that the number is unused
or has obtained verification from the

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of
Mexico, and South Atlantic; 2025
Recreational Accountability Measure
and Closure for Gag in the South
Atlantic
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
NMFS implements an
accountability measure (AM) for the
recreational harvest of gag in South
Atlantic Federal waters. NMFS reduces
the length of the 2025 recreational
fishing season for gag to prevent
landings from exceeding the
recreational annual catch limit (ACL) as
occurred in 2024. Accordingly, NMFS
announces the adjusted closure date for
the recreational harvest of gag in South
Atlantic Federal waters to protect the
gag resource.
DATES: This temporary rule is effective
from 12:01 a.m. on June 26, 2025,
through December 31, 2025.

Atlantic includes gag and is managed
under the Fishery Management Plan for
the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the
South Atlantic Region (FMP). The FMP
was prepared by the South Atlantic
Fishery Management Council and
NMFS, was approved by the Secretary
of Commerce, and is implemented by
NMFS through regulations at 50 CFR
part 622 under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act). All weights in
this temporary rule are in gutted weight.
Regulations at 50 CFR 622.193(c)(2)
specify the 2025 recreational ACL for
gag of 176,665 pounds (80,134
kilograms) and the recreational AMs.
The recreational AM at 50 CFR
622.193(b)(2)(ii) states that if
recreational landings of gag exceed its
ACL, then NMFS will reduce the
recreational fishing season during the
following fishing year to prevent
recreational landings from again
exceeding the recreational ACL. NMFS
is reducing the length of the 2025
recreational season to prevent landings
from exceeding the recreational ACL,
because this condition was met in 2024.
The recreational season for gag will
start on May 1, 2025. Data from the
NMFS Southeast Fisheries Science
Center have informed NMFS’ projection
that recreational landings will reach the
recreational ACL for 2025 by June 26.
Therefore, NMFS announces that the
2025 recreational season for gag in
South Atlantic Federal waters will be
closed beginning on June 26 and will
continue to be closed through December
31, 2025. During the recreational
closure, the bag and possession limits
for gag in or from South Atlantic Federal
waters are zero. The next recreational
fishing season for gag begins on May 1,
2026.
Classification
NMFS issues this action pursuant to
section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act. This action is required by 50 CFR
622.193(c)(2)(ii), which was issued
pursuant to section 304(b) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act, 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 is
unnecessary. Such procedure is
unnecessary because the rule that
established the recreational AMs for gag
has already been subject to public notice
and comment, and all that remains is to
notify the public of the adjusted end
date of the recreational season.

Season for Black Sea Bass

AGENCY:
Temporary rule; recreational
fishing season.
ACTION:
NMFS announces that the
recreational fishing season for black sea
bass in South Atlantic Federal waters
will extend throughout the 2025–2026
recreational fishing year. Announcing
the length of the recreational fishing
season for black sea bass is one of the
accountability measures (AMs) for the
recreational sector. This announcement
allows recreational fishers to maximize
their opportunity to harvest the
recreational annual catch limit (ACL) for
black sea bass while NMFS manages
harvest to protect the black sea bass
resource.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The South
Atlantic snapper-grouper fishery
includes black sea bass south of
35°15.19′ N latitude, which is due east
of Cape Hatteras Light, North Carolina,
and is managed under the Fishery
Management Plan for the SnapperGrouper Fishery of the South Atlantic
Region (FMP). The South Atlantic
Fishery Management Council and
NMFS prepared the FMP, the FMP was
approved by the Secretary of Commerce,
and NMFS implements the FMP
through regulations at 50 CFR part 622
under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act). Black sea bass is not managed by
the FMP or regulated by 50 CFR part
622 north of 35°15.19′ N latitude in
South Atlantic Federal waters, the
latitude of Cape Hatteras Light, North
Carolina; black sea bass north of
35°15.19′ N latitude is regulated by 50
CFR part 648.
The recreational fishing year for black
sea bass is April 1 through March 31.
One of the recreational AMs for black
sea bass requires that before the April 1
start date of each recreational fishing
year, NMFS will project the length of
the recreational fishing season based on
when NMFS projects recreational
landings of black sea bass will reach its
ACL, and announce the recreational
season end date in the Federal Register
[50 CFR 622.193(e)(2)]. The purpose of
this AM is to allow recreational
fishermen to maximize their
opportunities to harvest the recreational
ACL through a more predictable
recreational season while NMFS
manages harvest within the recreational
ACL to protect the stock from
experiencing adverse biological
consequences.
The recreational ACL for black sea
bass during the 2025–2026 fishing year
is 310,602 pounds (lb) or 140,887
DATES:
PO 00000
Frm 00020

kilograms (kg) in gutted weight, or
366,510 lb (166,246 kg) in round weight
[50 CFR 622.193(e)(2)].
NMFS estimates that recreational
landings of black sea bass during the
2025–2026 fishing year will be less than
the 2025–2026 recreational ACL. To
make this determination, NMFS
compared recreational landings of black
sea bass in the last 3 fishing years with
available data (2021–2022 through
2023–2024) to the recreational ACL for
the 2025–2026 fishing year. Recreational
landings in each of these past 3 fishing
years have been less than the 2025–2026
recreational ACL, and NMFS expects
similar landings for the 2025–2026
fishing season. Therefore, because
NMFS projects that the recreational
landings of black sea bass will be less
than the 2025–2026 recreational ACL,
NMFS does not expect to close the
recreational harvest of black sea bass
during the fishing year. Accordingly, the
season end date for the recreational
harvest of black sea bass in South
Atlantic Federal waters is March 31,
2026.
Classification
NMFS issues this action pursuant to
section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act. This action is required by 50 CFR
622.193(e)(2), 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 is
unnecessary. Such procedures are
unnecessary because the rule
establishing the recreational AM has
already been subject to notice and
comment, and all that remains is for
NMFS to notify the public of the
recreational season length.
