SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS proposed 2005 and 2006 harvest specifications and PSC allowances for the groundfish fishery of the BSAI on December 8, 2004 (69 FR 70974). That rule lists proposed pollock allocations to the seven inshore catcher vessel pollock cooperatives. Allocations in the proposed rule reflect cooperative applications for 2005 that are due to NMFS by December 1 of each year. All of the changes based on these applications were not reflected in the proposed Table 8. This document corrects the proposed rule by reflecting accurately all of the applications received for the 2005 year. Correction As published, proposed rule FR Doc. 04-26952, December 8, 2004 (69 FR 70974) contains an error and needs to be corrected.  The corrected table adds member vessel PACIFIC CHALLENGER to the Peter Pad Fleet Cooperative and corrects data in columns 2, 3, 4, and 5 for the Westward Fleet Cooperative. The corrected table reads as follows:

                        According to regulations at § 679.62(e)(1), the individual catch history for each vessel is equal to the vessel's best 2 of 3 years inshore pollock landings from 1995 through 1997 and includes landings to catcher/processors for vessels that made 500 or more mt of landings to catcher/processors from 1995 through 1997.
