Document Number: E7-23695
Type: Rule
Date: 2007-12-06
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
This action corrects a spelling error in final regulations (FR Doc. 03-8822) that were published in the Federal Register on April 15, 2003 (68 FR 18145). This action is necessary to correct a typographical error of an organized tribal entity name in regulations that implement Pacific halibut subsistence fishing management measures. This correcting amendment makes minor, non-substantive changes and does not change operating practices in the subsistence fishery or the rights and obligations of subsistence fishermen managed under the subsistence halibut regulations off Alaska.
