AGENCY:

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

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

On May 4, 2011, a final rule was published in the Federal Register announcing that NMFS had issued regulations to govern the unintentional take of marine mammals incidental to Navy training activities conducted in the Gulf of Alaska Temporary Maritime Training Activities Area. That document inadvertently omitted the MK-39 Expendable Mobile ASW Training Target (EMATT) from Table 1. In addition, Table 5 inadvertently omitted a column displaying the total number of takes authorized over the course of the 5-year rule. This document corrects those oversights. All other information is unchanged.

DATES:

Effective May 4, 2011, through May 4, 2016.

The final rule announcing that NMFS had issued regulations to govern the unintentional take of marine mammals incidental to Navy training activities conducted in the Gulf of Alaska Temporary Maritime Training Activities Area (76 FR 25480; May 4, 2011) contained an error in Table 1 that omitted a device NMFS intended to include and an error in Table 5 that omitted a column displaying the total takes authorized over 5 years. Accordingly, in FR Doc. No. 2011-10440 on pages 25482 and 25503, respectively, Tables 1 and 5 are revised to read as follows:

All other information contained in the document is unchanged.
