SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 3, 2019, NMFS published a
proposed rule to implement
Amendment 118 to the Fishery
Management Plan for Groundfish of the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area (BSAI FMP) and a
regulatory amendment to revise
regulations on Vessel Monitoring
System (VMS) requirements in the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI)
and Gulf of Alaska (GOA) (84 FR
52852). The proposed rule is necessary
to improve efficiency and provide
economic benefits for the Individual
Fishing Quota (IFQ) and Community
Development Quota (CDQ) fleets,
minimize whale depredation and
seabird interactions in the IFQ and CDQ
fisheries, and reduce the risk of
exceeding an overfishing limit for any
species.
Need for Correction
The Notice of Availability (NOA) for
Amendment 118 to the BSAI FMP
published on August 21, 2019, with a
60-day comment period through
October 21, 2019 (84 FR 43570), as
required under the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (16 U.S.C. 1854(a)). The proposed
rule published on October 3, 2019, with
public comment invited through
November 4, 2019 (84 FR 52852). The
proposed rule incorrectly identified the
date the NOA for Amendment 118
published in the Federal Register and
the end of the NOA comment period.
NMFS is now correcting the proposed
rule to reflect the correct dates for the
NOA. NMFS is not changing the
publication date or comment period
date for the NOA, and NMFS provided
a 60-day comment period on the NOA
for Amendment 118 to the BSAI FMP.

to comments in the final rule.
Correction

October 3, 2019 (84 FR 52852) in the
third column on page 52853, the
paragraph before the Background
heading is corrected to read as follows:

will be considered by NMFS and
addressed in the response to comments
in the final rule. Comments submitted
on this proposed rule may address
Amendment 118 or this proposed rule.
However, all comments addressing
Amendment 118 must be received by
October 21, 2019, to be considered in
the approval/disapproval decision on
Amendment 118. Commenters do not
need to submit the same comments on
both the NOA and this proposed rule.
All relevant written comments received
by October 21, 2019, whether
specifically directed to the FMP
amendment, this proposed rule, or both,
will be considered by NMFS in the
