AGENCY:

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

ACTION:

Corrections to final rule for Amendment 14.

SUMMARY:

This document corrects a section heading and a phrase in amendatory instruction 6 to the Amendment 14 final rule which was published on August 7, 2001. Amendment 14 creates a permit stacking program for limited entry permits with sablefish endorsements. This permit stacking program will lengthen the duration of the limited entry, fixed gear primary sablefish fishery. It is intended to increase safety in that fishery, to provide flexibility to participants, and to reduce capacity in the limited entry fixed gear fleet.

DATES:

Effective August 2, 2001.
