ACTION: Final rule; correction.
SUMMARY: This document contains a
correction to the final regulations that
were published in the Federal Register
on November 21, 2008. This correction
revises the amendatory instruction in
the final rule to accurately reflect
paragraph designation in the section on
permit fees.
DATES: The amendment to § 665.13 will
require approval by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
When OMB approval is received, the
effective date will be announced in the
Federal Register.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Brett Wiedoff, NMFS Pacific Islands
Region, Sustainable Fisheries, 808–944–
2272.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final
rule published on November 21, 2008,
designated deepwater shrimp of the
genus Heterocarpus as management unit
species (MUS), and requires Federal
permits and data reporting for
deepwater shrimp fishing in Federal
waters of the western Pacific (73 FR
70603). Also on November 21, 2008,
NMFS published another final rule that
designated three species of pelagic
squid as management unit species, and
established permitting and reporting
requirements for squid jig fishing
vessels (73 FR 70600). In the
amendatory instruction for § 665.13 in
both final rules, an identical paragraph
designation was assigned for both new
permits fees.
This correction makes a change to the
amendatory instruction in the
deepwater shrimp final rule to
accurately designate the paragraphs in
§ 665.13. This change is necessary to
prevent duplicate paragraph
designation. In the amendatory
instruction for § 665.13, the phrase,
‘‘...and add a new paragraph
(f)(2)(vi)...’’, is revised to read ‘‘...and
add a new paragraph (f)(2)(vii)....’’
