SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On November 26, 2021, we published a notification of commercial summer flounder quota transfers. The Commonwealth of Virginia and the State of North Carolina transferred a portion of their 2021 commercial summer flounder quota to the States of Connecticut and Rhode Island, respectively (86 FR 67360). The notification included an error in the post-transfer revised commercial quota for the State of North Carolina. The revised quota for North Carolina after the 22,158 lb (10,051 kg) transfer to Rhode Island was incorrectly listed as 2,952,765 lb (1,339,352 kg) instead of 2,932,765 lb (1,330,280 kg). This correction notifies the public of the corrected revised commercial quota for the State of North Carolina.

In FR Doc. 2021-25839, beginning on page 67360 in the Federal Register of November 26, 2021, make the following correction. On page 67360, in the third column, “2,952,765 lb (1,339,352 kg)” is corrected to read “2,932,765 lb (1,330,280 kg)” in its place.
