turtle (Caretta caretta). The ‘‘Final Rule
to Revise the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) for Species Under the
Jurisdiction of the National Marine
Fisheries Service’’ revised the CFR
tables that list threatened and
endangered species under the ESA.
During that process, we incorrectly
revised the descriptions of listed entities
for the DPSs of the loggerhead sea turtle
in a manner that differs from the
original listing descriptions. In this
document, we correct the descriptions
of the DPSs in the CFR tables. We also
add cross-references to recently
designated critical habitat of the
Northwest Atlantic Ocean DPS of the
loggerhead sea turtle.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 14, 2014, we, NMFS, issued
the ‘‘Final Rule to Revise the Code of
Federal Regulations for Species Under
the Jurisdiction of the National Marine
Fisheries Service’’ (79 FR 20802) to
clarify and update the descriptions and
associated protections for species that

County, Village of Put-InBay.

are listed as threatened or endangered
under the ESA. These revisions changed
the format and content of the tables,
which list and describe threatened and
endangered species under NMFS’
jurisdiction at 50 CFR 223.102(e) and 50
CFR 224.101(h), respectively. For
example, the table columns previously
labeled, ‘‘where listed’’ are now labeled
‘‘description of listed entity,’’ and the
columns labeled, ‘‘critical habitat’’ now
cite the specific section in 50 CFR part
226, where the critical habitat
description is found.
During this process, we incorrectly
revised the descriptions of the listed
entities for the DPSs of the loggerhead
sea turtle. For example, we changed the
description of listed entity from
‘‘Northwest Atlantic Ocean north of the
equator, south of 60° N. Lat., and west
of 40° W. Long.,’’ to ‘‘loggerhead sea
turtles originating from the Northwest
Atlantic Ocean west of 40° W. Long.’’
Therefore, this document amends the
tables by correcting the descriptions of
listed entities for the DPSs of the
loggerhead sea turtle to reflect the
original listing description published in
the CFR. There was one mistake in the
original listing (76 FR 58868, September
22, 2011). The Southwest Indian Ocean

DPS includes loggerhead sea turtles
originating from the Southwest Indian
Ocean north of the equator, south of 30°
N. Lat., east of 20° E. Long., and west
of 80° E. Long; the original listing
incorrectly indicated, ‘‘west of 20° E.
Long., and east of 80° E. Long.’’
On July 10, 2014, NMFS and USFWS
issued separate final rules to designate
critical habitat for marine and terrestrial
habitat, respectively, for the Northwest
Atlantic Ocean DPS of the loggerhead
sea turtle (79 FR 39855 and 79 FR
39755, respectively). At that time, we
did not update the column labeled
‘‘critical habitat,’’ in the table in 50 CFR
223.102(e) to cross reference these new
rules. Therefore, this document also
corrects the table by citing the critical
habitat designations in 50 CFR 226.223
and 50 CFR 17.95(c) in the column of
the table in 50 CFR 223.102(e).
Classification
This correction does not alter or
revise in any way the threatened or
endangered species statuses or critical
habitat designations for the DPSs of the
loggerhead sea turtle. Therefore, the
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,
NOAA, finds good cause to waive
requirement to provide prior public
notice and comment.

SUMMARY: This document contains technical corrections for errors in a
rule related to Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections for distinct
population segments (DPSs) of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta
caretta). The ``Final Rule to Revise the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) for Species Under the Jurisdiction of the National Marine
Fisheries Service'' revised the CFR tables that list threatened and
endangered species under the ESA. During that process, we incorrectly
revised the descriptions of listed entities for the DPSs of the
loggerhead sea turtle in a manner that differs from the original
listing descriptions. In this document, we correct the descriptions of
the DPSs in the CFR tables. We also add cross-references to recently
designated critical habitat of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean DPS of the
loggerhead sea turtle.
DATES: Effective on December 31, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Schultz at (301) 427-8443, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 14, 2014, we, NMFS, issued the ``Final Rule to Revise the
Code of Federal Regulations for Species Under the Jurisdiction of the
National Marine Fisheries Service'' (79 FR 20802) to clarify and update
the descriptions and associated protections for species that are listed
as threatened or endangered under the ESA. These revisions changed the
format and content of the tables, which list and describe threatened
and endangered species under NMFS' jurisdiction at 50 CFR 223.102(e)
and 50 CFR 224.101(h), respectively. For example, the table columns
previously labeled, ``where listed'' are now labeled ``description of
listed entity,'' and the columns labeled, ``critical habitat'' now cite
the specific section in 50 CFR part 226, where the critical habitat
description is found.
During this process, we incorrectly revised the descriptions of the
listed entities for the DPSs of the loggerhead sea turtle. For example,
we changed the description of listed entity from ``Northwest Atlantic
Ocean north of the equator, south of 60[deg] N. Lat., and west of
40[deg] W. Long.,'' to ``loggerhead sea turtles originating from the
Northwest Atlantic Ocean west of 40[deg] W. Long.'' Therefore, this
document amends the tables by correcting the descriptions of listed
entities for the DPSs of the loggerhead sea turtle to reflect the
original listing description published in the CFR. There was one
mistake in the original listing (76 FR 58868, September 22, 2011). The
Southwest Indian Ocean
[[Page 78724]]
DPS includes loggerhead sea turtles originating from the Southwest
Indian Ocean north of the equator, south of 30[deg] N. Lat., east of
20[deg] E. Long., and west of 80[deg] E. Long; the original listing
incorrectly indicated, ``west of 20[deg] E. Long., and east of 80[deg]
E. Long.''
On July 10, 2014, NMFS and USFWS issued separate final rules to
designate critical habitat for marine and terrestrial habitat,
respectively, for the Northwest Atlantic Ocean DPS of the loggerhead
sea turtle (79 FR 39855 and 79 FR 39755, respectively). At that time,
we did not update the column labeled ``critical habitat,'' in the table
in 50 CFR 223.102(e) to cross reference these new rules. Therefore,
this document also corrects the table by citing the critical habitat
designations in 50 CFR 226.223 and 50 CFR 17.95(c) in the column of the
table in 50 CFR 223.102(e).
Classification
This correction does not alter or revise in any way the threatened
or endangered species statuses or critical habitat designations for the
DPSs of the loggerhead sea turtle. Therefore, the Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA, finds good cause to waive
requirement to provide prior public notice and comment.
Need for Correction
As published, the final regulations contain errors which may prove
to be misleading and need to be clarified.
