Scup Fisheries; Amendment 8; Correction
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.
ACTION: Correction to final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final rule (I.D.
042696A), which was published Friday, August 23, 1996 (61 FR 43420).
The final rule implemented the approved provisions of Amendment 8 to
the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Summer Flounder and Scup
Fisheries.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 23, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Regina L. Spallone, Fishery Policy
Analyst, 508-281-9221.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Amendment 8 revised the summer flounder FMP to include management
measures for the scup fishery in order to reduce fishing mortality and
to allow the stock to rebuild.
Need for Correction
The final rule that implemented the approved provisions of
Amendment 8 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Summer Flounder and
Scup Fisheries (61 FR 43420, August 23, 1996) redesignated paragraph
(t) of the regulatory text under 50 CFR 648.14 as paragraph (u) and
added and reserved a new paragraph (t). Paragraph (t) should not have
been redesignated as paragraph (u), because it had already been
redesignated in Amendment 7 (61 FR 39909, July 31, 1996), and hence it
was also not necessary to add and reserve a new paragraph (t) as a
place holder. Therefore, NMFS is correcting amendatory instruction 12
by removing that part of the instruction.
Correction of Publication
Accordingly, the publication on August 23, 1996, of the final rule
(I.D. 042696A), which was the subject of FR Doc. 96-21515, is corrected
as follows:
On page 43426 of the regulatory text, in the first column,
amendatory instruction 12 is corrected as follows:
``12. In Sec. 648.14, paragraphs (a)(80) through (a)(88), and
paragraph (u)(6) are added, and paragraphs (k) and (l) are revised to
read as follows:''
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
Dated: October 9, 1996.
Rolland A. Schmitten,
Assistant Adminstrator for Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries
Service.
