## Abstract

An emergency interim rule, as amended, in effect through March 12, 1995, is extended from March 13, 1995, through June 10, 1995, because conditions warranting the emergency rule still exist. This rule also amends the emergency interim rule to allow vessels to transit closed areas, provided that there is a demonstrable safety reason and fishing gear is properly stowed. The intent of this extension and amendment is to provide interim protection to various multispecies finfish stocks, especially haddock, cod, and yellowtail flounder while a more comprehensive set of management measures is developed to protect and begin rebuilding abundance levels of these species.
