Sec.  665.85  Closures.

    (a) If the Regional Administrator determines that the harvest quota 
for any coral bed will be reached prior to the end of the fishing year, 
or the end of the 2-year fishing period at Makapuu Bed, NMFS will issue 
a field order closing the bed involved by publication of an action in 
the Federal Register, and through appropriate news media. Any such field 
order must indicate the reason for the closure, the bed being closed, 
and the effective date of the closure.
    (b) A closure is also effective for a permit holder upon the permit 
holder's actual harvest of the applicable quota.
