Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 128 / Monday, July 3, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 41017

This final rule has been determined to

be not significant for purposes of E.O.

12866.

The Chief Counsel for Regulation of

the Department of Commerce certified

to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the

Small Business Administration when

this rule was proposed that it would not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities.

No comments were received regarding

this certification. As a result, a

regulatory flexibility analysis was not

prepared.

The President has directed Federal

agencies to use plain language in their

communications with the public,

including regulations. To comply with

this directive, we seek public comment

on any ambiguity or unnecessary

complexity arising from the language

used in this final rule. Comments

should be sent to the Southeast Regional

Office, NMFS, 9721 Executive Center

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

In the final rule implementing the

2000 annual specifications for summer

flounder, scup, and black sea bass, the

regulations were inadvertently made

effective for the same time frame as the

quotas (i.e., for the calendar year). The

regulations were meant to remain

effective until revised. This correction

clarifies that the regulations are final,

not temporary, regulations.

Correction

In FR Doc. 00–12993, published in the

Federal Register issue of May 24, 2000,

on page 33486, in column 2, correct the

DATES caption to read as follows:

DATES: Effective 0001 hours, May 24,

2000, except that the quotas identified

in the preamble are effective 0001

hours, May 24, 2000, through 2400

hours, December 31, 2000.

Classification

This action is required by 50 CFR part

648 and is exempt from review under

E.O. 12866.

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

Dated: June 27, 2000.
