Government-to-Government Relationship With Tribes In accordance with the Presidents memorandum of April 29, 1994
Government-to-Government Relations with Native American Tribal Governments; 59 FR 22951, Executive Order 13175 Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, and the Department of the Interiors manual at 512 DM 2, we readily acknowledge our responsibility to communicate meaningfully with recognized Federal Tribes on a government-to-government basis. In accordance with Secretarial Order 3206
of June 5, 1997 American Indian Tribal Rights, Federal-Tribal Trust Responsibilities, and the Endangered Species Act, we readily acknowledge our responsibilities to work directly with Tribes in developing programs for healthy ecosystems, to acknowledge that Tribal lands are not subject to the same controls as Federal public lands, to remain sensitive to Indian culture, and to make information available to Tribes.
We have determined that no Tribes will be affected by this rule because no Tribal lands, sacred sites, or resources will be affected by the removal of Bradshaws lomatium from the List of Endangered and Threatened Plants.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Pacific Cod by Catcher/Processors Using Hook-andLine Gear in the Western 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/
processors using hook-and-line gear in the Western Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska GOA. This action is necessary to prevent exceeding the A
season allowance of the 2021 total allowable catch TAC of Pacific cod by catcher/processors using hook-and-line gear in the Western Regulatory Area of the GOA.
DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local time A.l.t., March 3, 2021, through 1200 hrs, A.l.t., June 10, 2021.

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. 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 2021
Pacific cod TAC apportioned to catcher/
processors using hook-and-line gear in the Western Regulatory Area of the GOA
is 588 metric tons mt as established by the final 2021 and 2022 harvest specifications for groundfish in the GOA
86 FR 10184, February 19, 2021.
In accordance with 679.20d1i, the Regional Administrator has determined that the A season allowance of the 2021 Pacific cod TAC
apportioned to catcher/processors using hook-and-line gear in the Western Regulatory Area of the GOA will soon be reached. Therefore, the Regional Administrator is establishing a directed fishing allowance of 588 mt and is setting aside the remaining 0 mt as bycatch to support other anticipated groundfish fisheries. In accordance with 679.20d1iii, the Regional Administrator finds that this directed fishing allowance has been reached.
Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific cod by catcher/processors using hook-and-line gear in the Western Regulatory Area of the GOA.
While this closure is effective the maximum retainable amounts at 679.20e and f apply at any time during a trip.
Classification NMFS issues this action pursuant to section 305d of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. This action is required by 50 CFR
part 679, which was issued pursuant to section 304b, and is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553bB, 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/processors using hookand-line gear in the Western 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 March 2, 2021.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
