1 Pursuant to 679.20a5iA, the Bering Sea subarea pollock TAC, after subtracting the CDQ DFA 10 percent and the ICA 4 percent, is allocated as a DFA as follows: Inshore sector50 percent, catcher/processor sector CP40 percent, and mothership sector10 percent. In the Bering Sea subarea, 45 percent of the DFA is allocated to the A season January 20June 10 and 55 percent of the DFA is allocated to the B season June 10November 1. Pursuant to 679.20a5iiiB2i through iii, the annual Aleutian Islands pollock TAC, after subtracting first for the CDQ DFA 10 percent and second for the ICA 2,400 mt, is allocated to the Aleut Corporation for a pollock directed fishery. In the Aleutian Islands subarea, the A season is allocated up to 40 percent of the AI pollock ABC.
2 In the Bering Sea subarea, pursuant to 679.20a5iC, no more than 28 percent of each sectors annual DFA may be taken from the SCA before noon, April 1.
3 Pursuant to 679.20a5iA4, 8.5 percent of the DFA allocated to listed CPs shall be available for harvest only by eligible catcher vessels with a CP endorsement delivering to listed CPs, unless there is a CP sector cooperative for the year.
4 Pursuant to 679.20a5iA4iii, the AFA unlisted catcher/processors are limited to harvesting not more than 0.5 percent of the catcher/
processors sectors allocation of pollock.
5 Pursuant to 679.20a5iA6, NMFS establishes an excessive harvesting share limit equal to 17.5 percent of the sum of the non-CDQ
pollock DFAs.
6 Pursuant to 679.20a5iA7, NMFS establishes an excessive processing share limit equal to 30.0 percent of the sum of the non-CDQ
pollock DFAs.
7 Pursuant to 679.20a5iiiB6, NMFS establishes harvest limits for pollock in the A season in Area 541 of no more than 30 percent, in Area 542 of no more than 15 percent, and in Area 543 of no more than 5 percent of the Aleutian Islands pollock ABC.
8 Pursuant to 679.22a7B, the Bogoslof District is closed to directed fishing for pollock. The amounts specified are for incidental catch only and are not apportioned by season or sector.
Note: Seasonal or sector apportionments may not total precisely due to rounding.

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 reallocation of Aleutian Islands pollock. Since the pollock fishery opened January 20, 2021, it is important to immediately inform the industry as to the Bering Sea subarea pollock CDQ DFA. Immediate notification is necessary to allow for the orderly conduct and efficient operation

of this fishery; allow the industry to plan for the fishing season and avoid potential disruption to the fishing fleet as well as processors; and provide opportunity to harvest increased seasonal pollock allocations while value is optimum. NMFS was unable to publish a notice providing time for public comment because the most recent, relevant data only became available as of February 25, 2021.
