Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Steller Sea
Lion Protection Measures and 2001 Harvest Specifications and Associated
Management Measures for the Groundfish Fisheries Off Alaska; Correction
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.
ACTION: Emergency interim rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects the July 17, 2001, emergency interim
rule by adding footnote reference numbers and their corresponding
footnotes, which were inadvertently omitted or published with errors to
tables in the preamble and in the regulatory text.
DATES: Effective July 18, 2001, through December 31, 2001.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melanie Brown, NMFS, 907-586-7228 or
e-mail at melanie.brown@noaa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The emergency interim rule that was
published July 17, 2001 (66 FR 37167), implements Steller sea lion
protection measures and announces final 2001 harvest specifications for
the groundfish fisheries of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area
and the Gulf of Alaska. As published, the final regulations contain
errors that need to be corrected in Tables 7 and 27 to the preamble and
in Tables 21 through 24 to 50 CFR part 679 by adding footnote reference
numbers and footnotes.
Table 7 to the preamble inadvertently omitted a footnote. Table 27
to the
[[Page 44074]]
preamble, which lists the final 2001 GOA groundfish harvest limitations
(sideboards), inadvertently omitted entries for pollock C Season and D
Season. That portion of Table 27 is reprinted in this document.
Tables 21 through 24 to 50 CFR part 679 are corrected by this
document and are reprinted in their entirety.
Correction
Accordingly, in the emergency interim rule published on July 17,
2001 (66 FR 37167), FR Doc. 01-17850, is corrected as follows:
1. In Table 7 to the preamble, page 37173:
a. In the first column under the fourth entry from the top, ``Hook-
and-line Catcher Processors ( 60 ft LOA)'' add a footnote
reference number ``3'' to read: ``Hook-and-line Catcher Processors
( 60 ft LOA)\3\'', and
b. Add the footnote at the end of Table 7 to read as follows:
``\3\Harvest of Pacific cod made by catcher processors less than 60 ft
LOA using hook-and-line gear will accrue to the 80 percent allocation
under Sec. 679.20(a)(7)(i)(C)(1)(i) when the other non-trawl halibut
mortality bycatch allowance becomes available on August 1, 2001.''
2. In Table 27 to the preamble, page 37176:
a. Correct the spelling of the second entry ``Pacific code'' to
read: ``Pacific cod''.
b. The following entries, which were inadvertently omitted from
``Pollock'', ``C Season (W/C areas only)'' are added in this document.
This portion of Table 27 should be inserted between the entries
``Pollock'' and ``Pacific cod'':
Table 27--Final 2001 GOA Non-Exempt AFA Catcher Vessel (CV) Groundfish Harvest Limitations (Sideboards). (Values
