SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations
(I.D. 103097B), which were published in the Federal Register of
Thursday, June 25, 1998, (63 FR 34606). The regulations implemented
management measures that restrict the frequency of limited entry permit
transfers to once every 12 months, with transfers taking effect on the
first day of a cumulative landings limit period. This rule also
required the sorting of groundfish species with trip limits, size
limits, quotas, or harvest guidelines at the point of landing, and the
retention of landings receipts on board the vessel that has made those
landings.
DATES: Effective July 27, 1998.
