SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    A temporary rule was published in the Federal Register on October 
12, 2006 (71 FR 60076), closing the commercial fisheries for golden 
tilefish and snowy grouper in the EEZ of the South Atlantic from 12:01 
a.m., local time, October 23, 2006, until 12:01 a.m., local time, on 
January 1, 2007. NMFS determined that this closure was necessary to 
protect the golden tilefish and snowy grouper resources.
