Abstract
NMFS has determined that the 10 metric tons (mt) of Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) set aside for the late-season General category fishery in the New York Bight beginning October 1, 1995, will have been taken by December 15, 1995. Therefore, the General category fishery will be closed effective at 2330 hours (11:30 pm) on Friday, December 15, 1995. This action is being taken to prevent overharvest of the quota established for this fishery.
