SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
As a result of comments and a request received from the Atlantic
States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) in a letter dated April 10,
1996, NMFS is extending the comment period for the proposed rule that
announced an initial determination by NMFS to withdraw approval of the
FMP for the Bluefish Fishery (March 28, 1996, 61 FR 13810). The ASMFC
advised NMFS that it needs additional time to consider the proposal to
withdraw the FMP for the Bluefish Fishery and that it can make
recommendations and provide meaningful comment only after its Bluefish
Management Board has met during the ASMFC's Spring 1996 meeting of May
28-31, 1996. Therefore, NMFS is extending the public comment period for
the proposed rule to June 7, 1996.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
Dated: May 2, 1996.

Program Management Officer, National Marine Fisheries Service.
