SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to final regulations (I.D.
042996B), which were published Wednesday, June 19, 1996 (61 FR 31228).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Bellows, 301-713-2344.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The final regulations that are the subject of this correction
consolidated several sections of regulations in parts 671, 672, 673,
675, 676, 677, and 679. The consolidation was effected as part of the
President's Regulatory Reform Initiative. The final rule reorganized
management measures into a more logical and cohesive order, removed
duplicative and outdated provisions, and made editorial changes for
readability, clarity, and achieved uniformity in regulatory language.
It was not intended to make substantive changes to existing
regulations.
Need for Correction
As published, the final rule contained a paragraph that was
proposed in another agency rulemaking but had not yet been adopted as
final. Therefore, inclusion of the paragraph in the consolidated rule
would constitute a substantive change, in spite of the fact that the
preamble stated that no such changes were made. The paragraph was
inadvertantly placed in the rule.
Correction of Publication
Accordingly, the publication on June 19, 1996, of the final
regulations (I.D. 042996B), which was the subject of FR Doc. 96-14593,
is corrected as follows:
Sec. 679.32 [Corrected]
On page 31269, in the first column, in Sec. 679.32, paragraph
(e)(1)(vi) is removed and reserved.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 773 et seq. and 1801 et seq.
Dated: July 15, 1996.

Program Management Officer, National Marine Fisheries Service.
