SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On April 28, 2000, the Coast Guard published a temporary final rule entitled Safety Zone; Kachemak Bay, Alaska, in the Federal Register (65 FR 24874) to be effective from 12:01 a.m. on May 4, 2000, until 11:59 p.m. on May 9, 2000. The Coast Guard has been notified that the estimated time of arrival of the M/V SWAN has been changed to May 10, 2000.

Need for Modification

As published, the effective date of the temporary final rule is now incorrect and therefore needs to be changed to reflect the new arrival time of M/V SWAN.

Modification of Publication

Accordingly, the publication on April 28, 2000 of the temporary final rule (COTP Western Alaska 00-001), which is the subject of FR Doc. 00-10607, is corrected as follows:

1. On page 24874, in the second column, in the DATES section, lines 2 and 3, correct the dates “May 4, 2000”and “May 9, 2000” to read “May 11, 2000” and “May 13, 2000” respectively.

§ 165.T17-00-001

[Corrected]

2. On page 24875, in the second column, in § 165.T17-00-001, paragraph (b), lines 2 and 3, correct the dates “May 4, 2000” and “May 9, 2000” to read “May 11, 2000” and “May 13, 2000” respectively.
