Pacific Halibut Fisheries; Subsistence Fishing; Correction

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

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action corrects a spelling error in final regulations (FR 
Doc. 03-8822) that were published in the Federal Register on April 15, 
2003 (68 FR 18145). This action is necessary to correct a typographical 
error of an organized tribal entity name in regulations that implement 
Pacific halibut subsistence fishing management measures. This 
correcting amendment makes minor, non-substantive changes and does not 
change operating practices in the subsistence fishery or the rights and 
obligations of subsistence fishermen managed under the subsistence 
halibut regulations off Alaska.

DATES: Effective on May 15, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Murphy, NMFS, 907-586-7228 or 
email at peggy.murphy@noaa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A final rule published April 15, 2003, (68 
FR 18145) implemented regulations to authorize and manage subsistence 
fishing of Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis). These regulations 
appear at 50 CFR 300.65. This correcting amendment revises the table 
titled Halibut Regulatory Area 3B at Sec.  300.65(g)(2) by correcting 
the spelling of ``Qagan Toyagungin Tribe of Sand Point Village'' under 
Organized Tribal Entity. The correct spelling is ``Qagan Tayagungin 
Tribe of Sand Point Village''.

Need for Correction

    Current reference to the Organized Tribal Entity Qagan Toyagungin 
Tribe of Sand Point Village at Sec.  300.65(g)(2) needs to be corrected 
because the reference is not consistent with the list of Indian 
Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Services from the United 
States Bureau of Indian Affairs published by the Department of Interior 
(72 FR 13648) on March 22, 2007. This correcting amendment corrects the 
spelling of the Organized Tribal Entity.

Classification

    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 
the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries finds good cause to waive the 
requirement to provide prior notice and opportunity for public comment 
on this correcting amendment to the Pacific halibut subsistence fishing 
regulations. Notice and comment are unnecessary because this action 
makes only a minor, non-substantive change to correct a typographical 
error. The amendment does not make any substantive change in the rights 
and obligations of subsistence halibut fishermen. No aspect of this 
action is controversial and no change in operating practices in the 
subsistence fishery is required. Because this action makes only the 
minor, non-substantive change to Sec.  300.65(g)(2) described above, it 
is not subject to the 30-day delay in effective date requirement of 5 
U.S.C. 553(d).
