SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to a cross reference
incorrectly stated in a closure notification (I.D. 092297C), which was
published September 29, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 29, 1997, NMFS published a notification in the Federal
Register that opened directed fishing for Pacific cod, by vessels
catching Pacific cod for processing by the offshore component, in the
Central Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) effective on
October 1, 1997, A.l.t. This action was necessary to fully utilize the
total allowable catch (TAC) of Pacific cod in the GOA Central
Regulatory Area.
Need for Correction
This action corrects an erroneous cross reference that gives the
authority that establishes the inshore/offshore apportionments
(applicable through December 31, 1998) of Pacific cod in all GOA
regulatory areas.
Correction of Publication
Accordingly, the publication on September 29, 1997, of the
modification of a closure (I.D. 092297C), which was the subject of FR
Doc. 97-25777, is corrected as follows:
On page 50888, in the third column, the second paragraph, the first
sentence, the cross reference ``679.20(d)(1)(iii)(A)'' is corrected to
read ``679.20(a)(6)(iii).''
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
Dated: November 12, 1997.

Acting Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, National Marine
