SUMMARY: In the public notice of intent to issue, and request for 
applications for a special use permit to conduct non-research diving at 
the Monitor National Marine Sanctuary (MNMS) (60 FR 63508, December 11, 
1995) make the following corrections:
    On page 63508, in the second column, the fax number listed in the 
addresses section should be changed to: 804-591-7310.
    On page 63509, in the second column, last paragraph, item #3, 
should be corrected to read:
    3. The permittee shall use only vessels that meet all applicable 
U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) certification and license requirements and that 
are appropriately inspected, certified, and licensed. A low profile 
vessel of less than 45 feet in length is preferred.
    This correction clarifies that the 45 foot vessel length is a 
preference rather than a requirement. Due to the logistics of this 
activity and the weather and current conditions frequently found at the 
Monitor site, NOAA prefers that vessels be no larger than 45 feet in 
length. However, NOAA did not intend to preclude the use of larger 
vessels provided that applicants who wish to use a larger vessel 
explain in their application why this is appropriate.

    Dated: January 19, 1996.
David L. Evans,
Acting Deputy Assistant Administrator, Ocean Services and Coastal Zone 
Management.
