Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS announces corrections to Federal regulations for the West 
Coast groundfish fishery. This action corrects the latitude/longitude 
coordinates for the Salmon Troll and South Coast Recreational Yelloweye 
Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCAs) so that they are published in the 
proper sequence. This action correctly announces the 2007 tribal 
allocation amount of Pacific whiting. This action clarifies the 
application of the Ocean Salmon Conservation Zone in the Pacific 
whiting fishery. This action corrects some coordinates of the depth 
contour line approximations that are used to define the RCAs. This 
action is intended to eliminate any confusion for the public that may 
have occurred as a result of prior incorrect NMFS publications.

    This final rule also is accessible via the Internet at the Office

website of the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) at http://www.pcouncil.org.

Background

    The Pacific Coast Groundfish FMP and its implementing regulations 
at title 50 in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 660, subpart 
G, regulate fishing for over 90 species of groundfish off the coasts of 
Washington, Oregon, and California. Groundfish specifications and 
management measures are developed by the Pacific Fishery Management 
Council (Council), and are implemented by NMFS. On September 29, 2006, 
NMFS published a proposed rule (71 FR 57764) to implement Amendment 16-
4 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish FMP and to establish the 2007-2008 
harvest specifications and management measures for groundfish taken in 
the EEZ off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. NMFS 
accepted public comment on the proposed rule and responded to these 
comments in the preamble to the final rule, which published in the 
Federal Register on December 29, 2006 (71 FR 78638).
    The 2007-2008 groundfish harvest specifications and management 
measures added a new potential closed area, the Ocean Salmon 
Conservation Zone (OSCZ), in the whiting fishery that could be 
implemented inseason through automatic action. Regulations at Sec.  
660.373(c)(3) define the OSCZ as a closed area applying to the whiting 
fishery; however, it does not state in this part that the OSCZ is 
closed only through automatic action when NMFS projects the whiting 
fishery may take in excess of 11,000 Chinook salmon within a calendar 
year. The process for implementation of this closed area is properly 
described in Sec.  660.370(d). A cross-reference to this automatic 
action section is added to the whiting regulations defining the OSCZ to 
clarify that the OSCZ is only closed after NMFS initiates an automatic 
management action to implement this closed area based on the projected 
take of Chinook salmon.
    A range of Pacific whiting (whiting) harvest specifications and 
management measures was adopted in the 2007-2008 harvest specifications 
and management measures for groundfish, and final 2007 specifications 
and management measures for whiting were adopted in March 2007. NMFS 
published a final rule establishing the 2007 whiting harvest 
specifications and management measures on April 18, 2007 (72 FR 19390), 
which included the level of the acceptable biological catch (ABC), 
optimum yield (OY), tribal allocation, and allocations for the 
nontribal commercial whiting sectors. The final 2007 tribal allocation 
was set according to an abundance-based sliding scale method, where the 
tribal allocation varies with the U.S. whiting optimum yield (OY) 
ranging from 14 percent (or less) of the U.S. OY when OY levels are 
above 250,000 mt, to 17.5 percent of the U.S. OY when the OY level is 
at or below 145,000 mt. NMFS had explained this method in the preamble 
to the proposed rule for the 2007-2008 groundfish harvest 
specifications and management measures. The tribal allocation was 
correctly expressed in the preamble to that final rule as 32,500 mt, 
however NMFS did not publish that amount in Sec.  660.385(e), leaving 
the outdated 2006 tribal whiting allocation of 35,000 mt in current 
regulations. This rule corrects 660.385(e) by inserting the 2007 tribal 
allocation.
    The preambles to the proposed and final rules for the 2007-2008 
groundfish harvest specifications and management measures described the 
Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Areas (YRCAs), closed areas intended to 
protect overfished species; however, the regulatory text published the 
latitude and longitude coordinates defining the Salmon Troll YRCA and 
the South Coast Recreational YRCA in the incorrect sequence, resulting 
in closed areas that are not the same size or shape as those analyzed 
by NMFS, recommended by the Council, and discussed in the preamble to 
the final rule. This correction re-publishes the YRCA latitude and 
longitude coordinates in the correct sequence to form the closed areas 
intended to protect yelloweye rockfish.
    The 2007-2008 groundfish harvest specifications and management 
measures added a new Rockfish Conservation Area (RCA) boundary line 
approximating the 180-fm (32-m) depth contour off California with 
modifications to allow fishing for petrale sole. After publication of 
the

[[Page 53166]]

proposed rule, the state of California requested adjustments to the 
latitude and longitude coordinates defining the petrale-modified 180-fm 
(329-m) boundary line to eliminate cross-overs with other neighboring 
boundary lines and to be consistent with boundaries of groundfish 
essential fish habitat closed areas off California. However, these 
changes from the proposed rule were not made and the original incorrect 
coordinates were published in the final rule for the 2007-2008 
groundfish harvest specifications and management measures. This 
correction publishes the latitude and longitude coordinates defining 
the petrale-modified 180-fm (329-m) boundary line at Sec.  660.394(f) 
that the state of California proposed and the Council recommended.
    The 2007-2008 groundfish harvest specifications and management 
measures revised coordinates defining the RCA boundary line 
approximating the petrale-modified 250-fm (457-m) depth contour to 
eliminate cross-overs with neighboring RCA boundary lines. Coordinates 
defining this RCA boundary line, published at Sec.  660.394(r), 
contained errors off the Washington coast and were published with these 
errors in both the proposed and final rule. The errors in the 
coordinates defining the RCA boundary line were introduced when 
transferring the latitude and longitude coordinates into the format 
necessary for publication in the Federal Register and eliminated a 
portion of petrale sole fishing grounds and opened an area of known 
rockfish abundance. This correction publishes the latitude and 
longitude coordinates defining the petrale-modified 250-fm (457-m) 
boundary line at Sec.  660.394(r) that the state of Washington proposed 
and the Council recommended.

Classification

    The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA, finds good cause 
to waive the requirement to provide prior notice and opportunity for 
public comment on this action pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B); providing 
prior notice and opportunity for comment would be unnecessary and 
contrary to the public interest.
    This correction document revises Sec.  660.373(c)(3) of the CFR so 
that the description of the OSCZ is consistent with the automatic 
action regulations, at Sec.  660.370(d), for implementing the OSCZ. 
Allowing inconsistencies to remain in the Federal Register would be 
contrary to the public interest. It would leave language in the CFR 
that implies that a permanent closure is in place, even though the 
closure only exists if it is implemented through automatic management 
action. This automatic action will be taken when NMFS projects that the 
whiting fishery may take in excess of 11,000 Chinook salmon within a 
calendar year. The OSCZ was analyzed in the 2007-2008 groundfish 
specifications and management measures environmental impact statement, 
and is clearly described in the preambles to the proposed and final 
rules (71 FR 57764, 71 FR 78638) as a closure that NMFS can implement 
for the whiting fishery if Chinook salmon take is anticipated to exceed 
acceptable levels. Prior notice and opportunity for comment was 
provided earlier because both the EIS and the proposed rule were made 
available for public comment, and no comments were received pertaining 
to the application of the OSCZ. Also, this correction clarifies 
language at Sec.  660.373(c)(3) to make it consistent with existing 
regulations at Sec.  660.370(d) and does not change the intent, 
meaning, or application of the OSCZ closure. Leaving inconsistencies in 
the regulatory language is contrary to the public interest because it 
is confusing to the public and would leave language in the CFR that 
implies that a permanent closure is in place, even though the closure 
only exists if it is implemented through automatic management action; 
therefore, NOAA finds good cause to waive prior notice and opportunity 
for public comment.
    This correction document revises Sec.  660.385(e) of the CFR so 
that the 2007 tribal allocation of Pacific whiting is consistent with 
the allocation proposed by the tribal representative on the Council, 
recommended by the Council and that NMFS intended to implement. This 
correction implements an action that has already been made available 
for public review and comment in the preamble to the whiting ABC/OY 
final rule (71 FR 19390). By implementing the correct tribal 
allocation, NMFS is implementing the 2007 tribal whiting allocation 
determined by the methodology described in the preamble to the 2007-
2008 harvest specifications and management measures proposed rule, and 
listed in the preamble to the whiting ABC/OY final rule, which was 
based on recommendations from the Makah tribe and the Council. The 
numerical allocation, however, was not changed in the regulatory text, 
so the 2006 tribal allocation is still listed in the CFR rather than 
the 2007 allocation. The interested public is aware of the current 2007 
tribal whiting allocation. The Makah tribe is aware of the appropriate 
2007 tribal whiting allocation and plans to stay within the 2007 
allocation which they proposed; therefore, prior notice and opportunity 
for public comment is unnecessary.
    This correction document revises Sec.  660.390(c) and (d) of the 
CFR so that coordinates for the Salmon Troll and South Coast 
Recreational Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Areas (YRCAs) are listed 
in the correct sequence to form rectangular closed areas. Each of these 
closed areas is defined by four coordinate points. If coordinates are 
connected in the sequence listed prior to this correction, they form 
bowtie shaped polygons that close approximately half of the area of the 
rectangular closed areas. When these points are connected in the 
correct sequence, they form rectangular closed areas, as illustrated in 
the EIS, described in the preamble to the final rule, recommended by 
the Council, and approved by NMFS for this action. A public notice and 
comment period was available for the EIS and final rule, and no 
comments were received pertaining to the proposed rectangular shape of 
the YRCAs. The YRCAs are designed to prevent the incidental catch of 
yelloweye rockfish, an overfished groundfish species that co-occurs 
with other, more abundant groundfish stocks. Allowing the YRCA 
coordinates to remain in Sec.  660.390 in the incorrect sequence 
actually allows, rather than prevents, fishing in areas of yelloweye 
rockfish abundance, which is contrary to the public interest. The 
yelloweye OY is very low so that if even a small amount of excess 
incidental catch of yelloweye rockfish were to occur, all of the 
commercial and recreational hook-and-line groundfish fisheries north of 
Cape Mendocino, California, fisheries that take yelloweye incidentally, 
would have to be restricted or closed early to ensure that the 2007 
yelloweye rockfish OY is not exceeded. Such restrictions and/or 
closures could be expected to ultimately result in significant revenue 
and job losses in coastal communities. By implementing these 
corrections as early as possible in the 2007 fishery, NMFS is 
implementing the YRCAs it had described in the preambles to the 
proposed and final rules for this action, based on recommendations from 
the Council. This correction is intended to ensure that yelloweye 
rockfish catch is kept within its allowable harvest levels, so that 
NMFS may meet its obligations under the Magnuson-Stevens Act to rebuild 
overfished stocks and to achieve the optimum yield from the fishery. 
Delay in publication of this rule could cause NMFS to fail to meet 
these obligations and would be contrary to the public interest.
    This correction document revises Sec.  660.394(f) and (r) of the 
CFR so that

[[Page 53167]]

coordinates for the petrale-modified 180-fm (329-m) boundary line and 
the petrale-modified 250-fm (457-m) boundary line are published 
correctly to protect overfished species while allowing targeting 
opportunities for more abundant species. The state of California 
recommended revising the petrale-modified 180-fm (329-m) boundary line 
after NMFS had published it in the proposed rule, to improve 
consistency with the boundaries of other neighboring area restrictions, 
including essential fish habitat closed areas. These changes, however, 
were not included in the final rule. These modifications change some 
latitude and longitude coordinates, and remove some coordinate points; 
however, the corrected line is similar to the line that was published 
in the preambles to the proposed and final rule. For clarity, the 
petrale-modified 180-fm (329-m) boundary line is re-published in its 
entirety in this correction. Providing prior notice and opportunity for 
public comment would be contrary to the public interest, as it would 
allow regulations to remain in the CFR that are confusing due to 
inconsistencies and overlaps between the groundfish RCA and other area 
restrictions, including essential fish habitat closed areas. The 
petrale-modified 250-fm (457-m) boundary line was published in the 
proposed and final rule with 13 incorrect latitude and longitude 
coordinates in the portion of the line that lies off the northern 
Washington coast, south of Cape Alava. These incorrect coordinates 
moved the depth contour approximation shoreward into shallower waters, 
with one coordinate bringing the 250-fm (457-m) line to a depth 
shallower than 70-fm (128-m) which produces an irrational result. 
Providing prior notice and opportunity for public comment would be 
contrary to the public interest because allowing the incorrect 
coordinates to remain in the CFR would allow fishing in an area of 
shallow water seaward of the RCA, at depths associated with high 
occurrence of overfished species. Restricting fishing in areas where 
overfished species are found is one of the primary tools available for 
keeping fishing mortality of overfished species within the optimum 
yields. Allowing the incorrect RCA boundary lines to remain in Sec.  
660.394 would be contrary to the public interest as it allows, rather 
than prevents, fishing in areas of overfished rockfish abundance, 
thereby undermining the intent of the rule. Furthermore, it would 
create confusion due to inconsistencies between the coordinates 
published in the Federal Register and coordinates available on the NMFS 
Northwest Region website for use in navigation software. If excessive 
incidental catch of overfished rockfish species were to occur, 
commercial and recreational groundfish fisheries that take overfished 
groundfish species incidentally would have to be restricted and 
possibly be closed early to ensure that the 2007 OYs for overfished 
rockfish species would not be exceeded. Such restrictions and/or 
closures could be expected to ultimately result in significant revenue 
and job losses in coastal communities. Providing prior notice and 
opportunity for public comment is contrary to the public interest 
because delay in implementation of this correction could result in 
excess harvest of overfished species that are found in the area that 
should be closed, which could result in exceeding the rebuilding 
targets, premature closure of the fishery, or both. This would prevent 
NMFS from meeting its obligations to rebuild overfished species or 
manage the fishery to achieve optimum yield.
    For the reasons discussed above, good cause also exists to waive 
the 30 day delay in effectiveness requirement under 5 U.S.C. 553 
(d)(3).
