catcher vessels participating in Rockfish Program cooperatives receive 3.81 percent, or 564 mt, of the annual Central GOA TAC see Table 28c to 50 CFR part 679, which is deducted from the Trawl CV B season allowance see Table 13. Final 2022 Apportionments of Rockfish Secondary Species in the Central GOA and Table 28c to 50 CFR part 679.
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 allow for harvests that exceed the appropriate allocation for pollock and Pacific cod based on the best scientific information available.
NMFS was unable to publish a notice providing time for public comment because the most recent, relevant data only became available as of December 23, 2021.

Without this inseason adjustment, NMFS could not allow the fishery for Pollock and Pacific cod in the GOA to be harvested in an expedient manner and in accordance with the regulatory schedule. Under 679.25c2, interested persons are invited to submit written comments on this action to the above address until January 14, 2022.
