Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Receipt of Petition for
Rulemaking; Correction
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.
ACTION: Correction to notice of receipt of petition for rulemaking and
request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NMFS corrects the notice of receipt of petition for rulemaking
on issues relating to Atlantic highly migratory species published on
December 22, 1993 (58 FR 67761). The National Fishing Association (NFA)
petitioned NMFS to restrict commercial net fishing in certain months in
five special management zones defined in the petition for the offshore
waters of the northwest Atlantic Ocean. The petition also requests
mandatory logbooks for recreational vessels fishing for certain highly
migratory species and a revised definition of a commercial fishing
vessel. This document corrects the longitude and latitude coordinates
of the restrictive fishing zones.

In the notice of receipt of petition for rulemaking published
December 22, 1993, which was the subject of FR Document 93-31277, on
