## Abstract

NMFS is apportioning the reserves of Pacific cod and opening directed fishing for Pacific cod by vessels catching Pacific cod for processing by the inshore component for 24 hours in the Western Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary to allow for an opportunity to harvest the remaining total allowable catch (TAC) and to account for previous harvest of the TAC in the Western Regulatory Area of the GOA.
