ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On January 12, 2006, a
proposed rule to implement
Amendment 19 to the Pacific Coast
Groundfish Fishery Management Plan
(FMP) was published in the Federal
Register. The proposed rule was
published with an incorrect RIN. Also,
this proposed rule contained a number
of errors in the Prohibition section and
the different lists of coordinates. This
document corrects those errors.
DATES: Effective January 30, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Steve Copps (Northwest Region, NMFS)
206–526–6150.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 12, 2006, (71 FR 1998) a
proposed rule was published that would
implement Amendment 19 to the FMP.
The proposed rule was published with
an incorrect RIN. Also, there is an
incorrect section number in two places
in the Prohibition section and in a
number of places in the proposed rule,
some of the coordinates and the
numbering of these coordinates were
published incorrectly.
Correction
In the proposed rule FR DOC, in the
issue of Thursday, January 12, 2006 (71
FR 1998) make the following
corrections:
1. On page 1998, in column 2, the RIN
is corrected to read 0648–AT98.
2. On page 2005, in column 1,
§ 660.306 should be corrected to read as
follows:
§ 660.36
Prohibitions.

and paragraphs (a), (c), (k), (w), (y), (z),
(aa), (jj), (kk), and (nn) are corrected to

§ 660.395 Groundfish Essential Fish
Habitat (EFH) conservation areas.
Essential fish habitat (EFH) is defined
as those waters and substrate necessary
to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding
or growth to maturity (16 U.S.C. 1802
(10)). The areas in this subsection are
designated to minimize to the extent
practicable adverse effects to EFH
caused by fishing (16 U.S.C. 1853
section 303(a)(7)). Straight lines
connecting a series of latitude/longitude
coordinates demarcate the boundaries
for areas desingated as Groundfish EFH
Conservation Areas. Coordinates
outlining the boundaries of Groundfish
EFH Conservation Areas are provided in
§ 660.395. Fishing activity that is
prohibited or permitted within the EEZ
in a particular area designated as a
groundfish EFH Conservation Area is
detailed at § 660.306 and § 660.385.
(a) Seaward of the 700-fm (1280-m)
contour. This area includes all waters
within the West Coast EEZ west of a line
approximating the 700-fm (1280-m)
depth contour and is defined by straight
lines connecting all of the following
points in the order stated:

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On January 12, 2006, a proposed rule to implement Amendment 19
to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) was
published in the Federal Register. The proposed rule was published with
an incorrect RIN. Also, this proposed rule contained a number of errors
in the Prohibition section and the different lists of coordinates. This
document corrects those errors.
DATES: Effective January 30, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Copps (Northwest Region, NMFS)
206-526-6150.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 12, 2006, (71 FR 1998) a proposed
rule was published that would implement Amendment 19 to the FMP. The
proposed rule was published with an incorrect RIN. Also, there is an
incorrect section number in two places in the Prohibition section and
in a number of places in the proposed rule, some of the coordinates and
the numbering of these coordinates were published incorrectly.
Correction
In the proposed rule FR DOC, in the issue of Thursday, January 12,
2006 (71 FR 1998) make the following corrections:
1. On page 1998, in column 2, the RIN is corrected to read 0648-
AT98.
2. On page 2005, in column 1, Sec. 660.306 should be corrected to
read as follows:

Sec. 660.395 Groundfish Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) conservation

Essential fish habitat (EFH) is defined as those waters and
substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding or growth
to maturity (16 U.S.C. 1802 (10)). The areas in this subsection are
designated to minimize to the extent practicable adverse effects to EFH
caused by fishing (16 U.S.C. 1853 section 303(a)(7)). Straight lines
connecting a series of latitude/longitude coordinates demarcate the
boundaries for areas desingated as Groundfish EFH Conservation Areas.
Coordinates outlining the boundaries of Groundfish EFH Conservation
Areas are provided in Sec. 660.395. Fishing activity that is
prohibited or permitted within the EEZ in a particular area designated
as a groundfish EFH Conservation Area is detailed at Sec. 660.306 and
Sec. 660.385.
