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

Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan (FMP); 
Amendment 8 to the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish FMP; and

Analyst, 978-281-9221.

Need for Correction

    In the final rule document, FR Doc. 99-27921, beginning on page 
57587 in the issue of Tuesday, October 26, 1999, in Sec. 648.5 several 
sentences were inadvertently removed from paragraphs of the section due 
to oversights in preparing the amendatory language. These deletions 
would remove requirements from the regulations that were not intended 
to be removed. Section 648.107 was incorrectly numbered and would 
unintentionally replace a previously published section. Therefore, that 
section is renumbered as Sec. 648.108. Because of the renumbering, the 
references in Secs. 648.127 and 648.147 are corrected by a nomenclature 
change.

Correction

    Accordingly, the publication on October 26, 1999, of the final rule 
document (I.D. 011499B), which was the subject of FR Doc. 99-27921, is 
corrected as follows:

to part 649 of this chapter satisfies the permitting requirement of 
this section. This requirement does not apply to operators of 
recreational vessels.''
    2. On page 57593, in the 1<SUP>st</SUP> column, in Sec. 648.5, in 
paragraph (d), add to the end, the following sentence, ``The applicant 
must also provide two recent (no more than 1 year old), color, 
passport-size photographs.''


Sec. 648.107  [Corrected]

    3. On page 57595, in the 1<SUP>st</SUP> column, revise amendatory 
instruction 13 and the section heading to read as follows:

* * * * *
    4. On page 57595, in the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> and 3<SUP>rd</SUP> columns, 
in Sec. 648.127(a) and (a)(1) through (a)(4), the reference to 
``648.107'' should read ``648.108'' each time it appears.
    5. On page 57595, in the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> column, in Sec. 648.147(a) 
and (a)(1) through (a)(4), the reference to ``648.107'' should read
