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 prohibiting retention of other rockfish in the Western and Central Regulatory Areas 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 August 26, 2021.
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. 553d3. This finding is based upon the reasons provided above for waiver of prior notice and opportunity for public comment.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
Dated: August 30, 2021.
Jennifer M. Wallace, Acting Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
