SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

    As published, a comma was inadvertently left out of the paragraph 
describing the exceptions to the requirements of the rule in the 
SUMMARY. This error changed the meaning of two of the exceptions by 
appearing to combine them into one exception.

Correction

    Accordingly, the publication of the interim final rule FR Doc. 97-
3632, that published on February 13, 1997 (62 FR 6729) is corrected as 
follows:
    On page 6729, in the third column, in the eighth line from the end 
of the SUMMARY, insert a comma after the word ``provided.''

    Dated: February 18, 1997.
Rolland A. Schmitten,
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries 
Service.
