SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

NMFS published proposed specifications for the 2002 Atlantic herring fishery on October 29, 2001 (66 FR 54498). The ADDRESSES section of the proposed specifications indicated that comments on the proposed specifications should be sent to the Regional Administrator “at the above address”. However, the address for the Regional Administrator was not provided. Therefore, this document corrects the ADDRESSES section of the proposed specifications by providing the mailing address for the Regional Administrator.

Accordingly, the publication on October 29, 2001, of the proposed 2002 specifications for the Atlantic herring fishery (I.D. 092401C), which was the subject of FR Doc. 01-27168, is corrected as follows:

On page 54498, in the third column, first full paragraph, third and fourth lines down remove, “Regional Administrator at the above address.”, and in its place add, “Pat Kurkul, Regional Administrator, NMFS, One Blackburn Drive, Gloucester, MA 01930.”
