Fisheries off West Coast States and in the Western Pacific;

Sablefish; Correction

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects the Pacific coast groundfish 
regulations at 50 CFR part 660, subpart G. The effect of this 
correction is to remove redundant language that ``Gear endorsements may 
not be transferred separately from the limited entry permit.'' in 
Sec. 660.333(f)(3), because it is included in Sec. 660.333(f)(2) as 
follows: ``Gear endorsements, sablefish endorsements, and sablefish 
tier assignments may not be transferred separately from the limited 
entry permit.''

DATES: Effective July 29, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Yvonne de Reynier, NMFS, 206-526-6120.
