ACTION: Final rule; correction. AGENCY: NMFS corrects the final rule published on May 10, 2024, to implement Amendment 56 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (Amendment 56). The final rule excluded a reference to the recreational annual catch target in the recreational accountability measures for gag. This correction fixes that omission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rule to implement Amendment 56 (89 FR 40419, May 10, 2024), NMFS modified the recreational accountability measures (AMs) in 50 CFR 622.41(d)(2)(ii) and (iii) to reflect the changes in Amendment 56. However, NMFS mistakenly omitted reference to the recreational annual catch target (ACT) in § 622.41(d)(2)(iii), which describes the recreational AMs that are applicable if recreational landings exceed the recreational annual catch limit (ACL) and gag in the Gulf of Mexico is overfished based on the most recent Status of U.S. Fisheries Report to Congress. Under those circumstances, NMFS reduces both the recreational ACL and ACT for the following fishing year by the amount of the recreational ACL overage in the previous fishing year. In the final rule preamble on page 40422 and in response to Comment 23 on page 40430, NMFS correctly described the recreational AMs and corrects the final rule accordingly.

SUMMARY: NMFS corrects the final rule published on May 10, 2024, to 
implement Amendment 56 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish 
Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (Amendment 56). The final rule excluded 
a reference to the recreational annual catch target in the recreational

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rule to implement Amendment 56 
(89 FR 40419, May 10, 2024), NMFS modified the recreational 
accountability measures (AMs) in 50 CFR 622.41(d)(2)(ii) and (iii) to 
reflect the changes in Amendment 56. However, NMFS mistakenly omitted 
reference to the recreational annual catch target (ACT) in Sec.  
622.41(d)(2)(iii), which describes the recreational AMs that are 
applicable if recreational landings exceed the recreational annual 
catch limit (ACL) and gag in the Gulf of Mexico is overfished based on 
the most recent Status of U.S. Fisheries Report to Congress. Under 
those circumstances, NMFS reduces both the recreational ACL and ACT for 
the following fishing year by the amount of the recreational ACL 
overage in the previous fishing year. In the final rule preamble on 
page 40422 and in response to Comment 23 on page 40430, NMFS correctly 
described the recreational AMs and corrects the final rule accordingly.
