SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background
The 2021 annual management
measures for ocean salmon fisheries (86
FR 26425, May 14, 2021), announced
management measures for the
commercial and recreational fisheries in
the area from the U.S./Canada border to
the U.S./Mexico border, effective from
0001 hours Pacific Daylight Time (PDT),
May 16, 2021, until the effective date of
the 2022 management measures, as
published in the Federal Register.
NMFS is authorized to implement
inseason management actions to modify
fishing seasons and quotas as necessary
to provide fishing opportunity while
meeting management objectives for the
affected species (50 CFR 660.409).
Inseason actions in the salmon fishery
may be taken directly by NMFS (50 CFR
660.409(a)—Fixed inseason
management provisions) or upon
consultation with the Chairman of the
Pacific Fishery Management Council
(Council) and the appropriate State
Directors (50 CFR 660.409(b)—Flexible
inseason management provisions).
Management of the salmon fisheries is
generally divided into two geographic
areas: North of Cape Falcon (NOF)
(U.S./Canada border to Cape Falcon,
OR) and south of Cape Falcon (Cape
Falcon, OR, to the U.S./Mexico border).
The action described in this document
affected the NOF recreational salmon
fishery, as set out under the heading
Inseason Action.
Consultation on this inseason action
occurred on August 3, 2021.
Representatives from NMFS,
Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife (WDFW), Oregon Department
of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), and
Council staff participated in the
consultation.
This inseason action was announced
on NMFS’ telephone hotline and U.S.
Coast Guard radio broadcast on the date
of the consultations (50 CFR
660.411(a)(2)).
Inseason Action
Inseason Action #25
Description of the action: Inseason
action #25 modified the fishing days per
calendar week in the NOF recreational
salmon fishery in the Westport subarea
from five days per week (Sunday
through Thursday) to seven days per
week, beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Friday,
August 6, 2021.
Effective date: Inseason action #25
took effect on August 6, 2021, and
remains in effect until superseded.
Reason and authorization for the
action: The 2021 management measures
opened the recreational ocean salmon
fishery in the Westport subarea seven
days per week between June 19–26,
2021, and five days per week (Sunday
through Thursday) between June 27-
September 15, 2021 (86 FR 26425, May
14, 2021). The intent of limiting the
fishing days per calendar week starting
June 27, 2021, was to sustain season
length. However, in the first six weeks
of recreational fishing in the Westport
subarea, June 19 through July 25 and
with just over a month left in the
season, only 9 percent of the subarea’s
coho salmon quota and 31 percent of the
subarea’s Chinook salmon guideline
were landed. Consistent with preseason
planning and management objectives,
inseason action #25 was taken to
provide greater fishing opportunity for
the public to access the available coho
salmon quota and Chinook salmon
guideline and to provide economic
benefit to the fishery dependent
community. Based on landings to date,
anticipated fishing effort, and projected
catch, this action is not expected to
result in reducing season length.
The NMFS West Coast Region
Regional Administrator (RA) considered
the landings of Chinook and coho
salmon in the NOF recreational salmon
fishery to date, fishery effort to date as
well as anticipated under the proposal,

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 165 / Monday, August 30, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
and the recreational Chinook salmon
guideline and coho salmon quotas
remaining. The RA determined that
inseason action #25 was necessary to
meet preseason planning and
management objectives to allow access
to available salmon quota and support
the economy of fishery dependent
communities while remaining
consistent with the applicable salmon
management and conservation
objectives. The modification of
recreational fishing days per calendar
week is authorized by 50 CFR
660.409(b)(1)(iii).
Consultation date and participants:
Consultation on inseason action #25
occurred on August 3, 2021.
Representatives from NMFS, WDFW,
ODFW, and the Council participated in
this consultation.
All other restrictions and regulations
remain in effect as announced for the
2021 ocean salmon fisheries (86 FR
26425, May 14, 2021), as modified by
previous inseason action (86 FR 34161,
June 29, 2021; 86 FR 37249, July 15,
2021; 86 FR 40182, July 28, 2021; 86 FR
43967, August 11, 2021).
The NMFS West Coast Region RA
determined that this inseason action
was warranted based on the best
available information on Pacific salmon
abundance forecasts, landings to date,
and anticipated fishery effort and
projected catch. The states manage the
fisheries in state waters adjacent to the
areas of the U.S. exclusive economic
zone (3–200 nautical miles (5.6–370.4
kilometers) off the coasts of the states of
Washington, Oregon, and California)
consistent with these Federal actions.
As provided by the inseason notice
procedures at 50 CFR 660.411, actual
notice of the described regulatory action
was given, prior to the time the action
was effective, by telephone hotline
numbers 206–526–6667 and 800–662–
9825, and by U.S. Coast Guard Notice to
Mariners broadcasts on Channel 16
VHF–FM and 2182 kHz.
Classification
NMFS issues this action pursuant to
section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (MSA). This action is authorized by
50 CFR 660.409, which was issued
pursuant to section 304(b) of the MSA,
and is exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B),
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. Prior notice and
opportunity for public comment on this
action was impracticable because NMFS
had insufficient time to provide for
prior notice and the opportunity for
public comment between the time
Chinook and coho salmon abundance,
catch, and effort information was
developed and fisheries impacts were
calculated, and the time the fishery
modifications had to be implemented in
order to ensure that fisheries are
managed based on the best scientific
information available. As previously
noted, actual notice of the regulatory
action was provided to fishers through
telephone hotline and radio notification.
This action complies with the
requirements of the annual management
measures for ocean salmon fisheries (86
FR 26425, May 14, 2021), the FMP, and
regulations implementing the FMP
under 50 CFR 660.409 and 660.411.
There is good cause under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3) to waive the 30-day delay in
effective date, as a delay in effectiveness
of this action would restrict fishing at
levels inconsistent with the goals of the
FMP and the current management
measures.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
Dated: August 24, 2021.
