(b) Quota closures. When a quota specified in this part is reached or is projected to be reached, the Assistant Administrator will file a notification to that effect with the Office of the Federal Register. On and after the effective date of such notification, for the remainder of the fishing year, the applicable closure restrictions for such a quota, as specified in this part apply.

Such notification may reopen the species, species group, sector, or sector component to provide an opportunity for the quota or ACL to be harvested.
