FR 30235, May 11, 2023; 88 FR 44737,

77533, November 13, 2023) except as
previously modified by inseason
actions.
The states and Tribes manage the
fisheries in state waters adjacent to the
areas of the U.S. exclusive economic
zone (3–200 nautical miles; 5.6–370.4
kilometers) off the coasts of the States of
Washington, Oregon, and California
consistent with these Federal actions.
As provided by the inseason notice
procedures at 50 CFR 660.411, actual
notice of the described regulatory
actions was given, prior to the time the
actions became effective, by telephone
hotline numbers 206–526–6667 and
800–662–9825, and by U.S. Coast Guard
Notice to Mariners broadcasts on
Channel 16 VHF–FM and 2182 kHz.
Classification
NMFS issues these actions pursuant
to section 305(d) of the MSA. These
actions are authorized by 50 CFR
660.409, which was issued pursuant to
section 304(b) of the MSA, and are
exempt from review under Executive
Order 12866.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B),
there is good cause to waive prior notice
and an opportunity for public comment
on this action, as notice and comment
would be impracticable and contrary to
the public interest. Prior notice and
opportunity for public comment on this
action was impracticable because NMFS
had insufficient time to provide for
prior notice and the opportunity for
public comment between the time
Chinook and coho salmon abundance,
catch, and effort information were
developed and fisheries impacts were
calculated, and the time the fishery
modifications had to be implemented in
order to ensure that fisheries are
managed based on the best scientific
information available. As previously
noted, actual notice of the regulatory
action was provided to fishers through
telephone hotlines and radio
notifications. These actions comply
with the requirements of the annual
management measures for ocean salmon
fisheries (88 FR 30235, May 11, 2024),
the Pacific Salmon Fishery Management
Plan (FMP), and regulations
implementing the FMP under 50 CFR
660.409 and 660.411.
There is good cause under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3) to waive the 30-day delay in
effective date, as a delay in effectiveness
of this action would allow fishing at
levels inconsistent with the goals of the
FMP and the current management
measures.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.
AGENCY:
On June 4, 2024, NMFS
published a final rule to implement
amendment 55 to the Fishery
Management Plan for Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs
(Crab FMP). The final rule inadvertently
omitted amendatory instructions for
regulations implementing amendment
55 for custom processing exemptions.
This correction fixes these errors.
DATES: Effective on July 5, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final
rule to implement amendment 55 to the
Crab FMP (89 FR 47872, June 4, 2024)
inadvertently omitted amendatory
instructions to remove paragraphs 50

correcting the final rule to reflect this
omission and renumbering the
amendatory instructions for subsequent
changes to § 680.42.
