Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Exchange of
Flatfish in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; reallocation.
SUMMARY: NMFS is exchanging allocations of Amendment 80 cooperative
quota (CQ) for Amendment 80 acceptable biological catch (ABC) reserves.
This action is necessary to allow the 2015 total allowable catch of
flathead sole, rock sole, and yellowfin
sole in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area to be
harvested.
DATES: Effective October 27, 2015, through December 31, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Whitney, 907-586-7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS manages the groundfish fishery in the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI) according to the
Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands Management Area (FMP) prepared by the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council under authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management 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 2015 flathead sole, rock sole, and yellowfin sole Amendment 80
allocations of the total allowable catch (TAC) specified in the BSAI
are 11,035 metric tons (mt), 52,390 mt, and 118,962 mt as established
by the final 2015 and 2016 harvest specifications for groundfish in the
BSAI (80 FR 11919, March 5, 2015) and as revised (80 FR 60073, October
5, 2015). The 2015 flathead sole, rock sole, and yellowfin sole
Amendment 80 ABC reserves are 43,019 mt, 101,868 mt, and 82,051 mt as
established by the final 2015 and 2016 harvest specifications for
groundfish in the BSAI (80 FR 11919, March 5, 2015) and as revised (80
FR 60073, October 5, 2015).
The Alaska Seafood cooperative has requested that NMFS exchange 600
mt of flathead sole and 1,350 mt of rock sole Amendment 80 allocations
of the TAC for 1,950 mt of yellowfin sole Amendment 80 ABC reserves
under Sec.  679.91(i). Therefore, in accordance with Sec.  679.91(i),
NMFS exchanges 600 mt of flathead sole and 1,350 mt of rock sole
Amendment 80 allocations of the TAC for 1,950 mt of yellowfin sole
Amendment 80 ABC reserves in the BSAI. This action also decreases and
increases the TACs and Amendment 80 ABC reserves by the corresponding
amounts. Tables 11 and 13 of the final 2015 and 2016 harvest
specifications for groundfish in the BSAI (80 FR 11919, March 5, 2015)
and as revised (80 FR 60073, October 5, 2015) are further revised as

eligible participants apply for participation in the program by November 1, 2015.
This action responds to the best available information recently
obtained from the fishery. The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,
NOAA (AA), finds good cause to waive the requirement to provide prior
notice and opportunity for public comment pursuant to the authority set
forth at 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as such requirement is impracticable and
contrary to the public interest. This requirement is 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 flatfish exchange by the Alaska Seafood cooperative the
BSAI.
Since these fisheries are currently open, it is important to
immediately inform the industry as to the revised allocations.
Immediate notification is necessary to allow for the orderly conduct
and efficient operation of this fishery, to allow the industry to plan
for the fishing season, and to avoid potential disruption to the
fishing fleet as well as processors. NMFS was unable to publish a
notice providing time for public comment because the most recent,
relevant data only became available as of October 19, 2015.
The AA 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.
This action is required by Sec.  679.20 and is exempt from review
under Executive Order 12866.
