SUMMARY: NMFS announces the availability of an errata sheet for the

FMP) published in April, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the HMS FMP, the errata sheet, the final rule, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a September 1997 Report to Congress, NMFS
identified north Atlantic swordfish, west Atlantic Bluefin tuna, and
large coastal sharks as overfished. The HMS FMP, including a final
environmental impact statement, was published in April, 1999, to comply
with provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act for fisheries identified as overfished, and the final
rule implementing actions included in the HMS FMP and Amendment 1 to
the Atlantic Billfish Fishery Management Plan was published on May 28,
1999 (64 FR 29090). Since the publication of the HMS FMP, a number of
typographical mistakes and other errors have been noted throughout its
three volumes. The errata sheet corrects those errors that were noted
as of November 19, 1999.
