On Page 60883, third column, the discussion of harbor porpoise behavioral harassment criteria is completed. After the last sentence in this section, another sentence should be inserted to accurately frame the biological distribution for the species (harbor porpoise) in question. This is a point that a lay reader will assume SOCAL Risk Function includes an analysis for harbor porpoises. Recommended language: "It should be noted that harbor porpoises are not a regular species normally found in Southern California. The harbor porpoise is are more commonly found in near shore water from Central California north of Point Conception to Alaska."
