DOCUMENT ACTION: Final rule; correction.
SUBJECT CATEGORY:
Fisheries in the Western Pacific; Crustacean Fisheries; Deepwater Shrimp

DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
This document contains a correction to the final regulations that were published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2008. This correction revises the amendatory instruction in the final rule to accurately reflect paragraph designation in the section on permit fees.
SUMMARY:
Crustacean Fisheries; Deepwater Shrimp; Correction,
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
The final rule published on November 21, 2008, designated deepwater shrimp of the genus Heterocarpus as management unit species (MUS), and requires Federal permits and data reporting for deepwater shrimp fishing in Federal waters of the western Pacific (73 FR 70603). Also on November 21, 2008, NMFS published another final rule that designated three species of pelagic squid as management unit species, and established permitting and reporting requirements for squid jig fishing vessels (73 FR 70600). In the amendatory instruction for Sec. 665.13 in both final rules, an identical paragraph designation was assigned for both new permits fees.
This correction makes a change to the amendatory instruction in the
deepwater shrimp final rule to accurately designate the paragraphs in
Sec. 665.13. This change is necessary to prevent duplicate paragraph
designation. In the amendatory instruction for Sec. 665.13, the
phrase, ``...and add a new paragraph (f)(2)(vi)...'', is revised to read ``...and add a new paragraph (f)(2)(vii)....''
