apply to a person on board a vessel with a golden tilefish longline endorsement, regardless of whether the golden tilefish are harvested in state or Federal waters, as specified in 50 CFR 622.190c1.
Classification NMFS issues this action pursuant to section 305d of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. This action is required by 50 CFR
622.8c, 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 is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. Such procedures are unnecessary because the regulations associated with the commercial reopening of the golden tilefish longline component have already been subject to notice and public comment, and all that remains is to notify the public of the reopening. Such procedures are contrary

to the public interest because of the need to immediately implement the reopening to allow the longline component of the golden tilefish commercial sector the opportunity to maximize their allowed harvest of golden tilefish and to achieve optimum yield in this fishery. Such procedures also are contrary to the public interest because of the need to implement the closure and protect the golden tilefish resource and minimize the risk of exceeding the sectors ACL.
For the aforementioned reasons, the Acting Assistant Administrator for NMFS also finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in the effectiveness of this action under 5 U.S.C. 553d3.
