02-4276. Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Commercial Shark Management Measures; Correction

AGENCY:

National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION:

Fishing season notification; correction.

SUMMARY:

NMFS published a document in the Federal Register of December 28, 2001, notifying eligible participants of the opening and closing dates for the Atlantic small coastal sharks, pelagic sharks, blue sharks, and porbeagle sharks fishing seasons. The document inadvertently specified dates that referred to the fishing seasons in 2001 instead of 2002. This document corrects that error.
