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.

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
