ACTION: Correction to final rules.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NMFS issues a correction to the effective date section of
final rules published on August 24, 1994 and September 6, 1994.
Portions of these final rules related to the limited access management
of Federal fisheries in and off of Alaska.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 13, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Lepore, 907-586-7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 9, 1993 (58 FR 59375), NMFS
published a final rule to implement Amendment 15 to the Fishery
Management Plan (FMP) for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands area (BSAI), Amendment 20 to the FMP for Groundfish of
the Gulf of Alaska (GOA), and a regulatory amendment affecting the
fishery for Pacific halibut in and off the State of Alaska. These
regulations established an individual fishing quota limited-access
system in fixed gear fisheries for Pacific halibut and sablefish in and
off Alaska. In addition, this action implemented a Western Alaska
Community Development Quota program for halibut and sablefish fixed
gear fisheries. The effective date for the final rule was December 9,
1993, except Secs. 676.20 (a) through (e) and (g) and 676.21, which
became effective on January 1, 1994, and Secs. 676.13 (a) and (b),
676.14, 676.16, 676.17, 676.20 introductory text and paragraph (f), and
676.22, 676.23, and 676.24, which will become effective on January 1,
1995.
On August 24, 1994, NMFS issued a final rule implementing Amendment
30 to the BSAI FMP and Amendment 34 to the GOA FMP and a regulatory
amendment affecting Pacific halibut and sablefish fisheries in and off
the State of Alaska. This final rule was effective September 23, 1994,
but inadvertently amended Sec. 676.24, which will not be in effect
until January 1, 1995.
On September 6, 1994, NMFS issued a final rule to implement the
North Pacific Fisheries Research Plan for the GOA groundfish fishery,
BSAI management area groundfish fishery, BSAI king and Tanner crab
fisheries, and Pacific halibut fishery in convention waters off Alaska.
The final rule was effective October 6, 1994. In that rule Secs. 676.13
and 676.16, which will be effective January 1, 1995, were inadvertently
amended.
