Background

A temporary rule was published in the Federal Register on October 12, 2006 (71 FR 60076), closing the commercial fisheries for golden tilefish and snowy grouper in the EEZ of the South Atlantic from 12:01 a.m., local time, October 23, 2006, until 12:01 a.m., local time, on January 1, 2007.
