AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: On January 12, 2006, a 

proposed rule to implement 

Amendment 19 to the Pacific Coast 

Groundfish Fishery Management Plan 

(FMP) was published in the Federal 

Register. The proposed rule was 

published with an incorrect RIN. Also, 

this proposed rule contained a number 

of errors in the Prohibition section and 

the different lists of coordinates. This 

document corrects those errors. 

DATES: Effective January 30, 2006. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Steve Copps (Northwest Region, NMFS) 

206–526–6150. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 12, 2006, (71 FR 1998) a 

proposed rule was published that would 

implement Amendment 19 to the FMP. 

The proposed rule was published with 

an incorrect RIN. Also, there is an 

incorrect section number in two places 

in the Prohibition section and in a 

number of places in the proposed rule, 

some of the coordinates and the 

numbering of these coordinates were 

published incorrectly. 

Correction 

In the proposed rule FR DOC, in the 

issue of Thursday, January 12, 2006 (71 

FR 1998) make the following 

corrections: 

1. On page 1998, in column 2, the RIN 

is corrected to read 0648–AT98. 

2. On page 2005, in column 1, 

§ 660.306 should be corrected to read as 

follows: 

§ 660.36 Prohibitions.

§ 660.302) anywhere within the EEZ.

§ 660.395 Groundfish Essential Fish 

Habitat (EFH) conservation areas. 

Essential fish habitat (EFH) is defined 

as those waters and substrate necessary 

to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding 

or growth to maturity (16 U.S.C. 1802 

(10)). The areas in this subsection are 

designated to minimize to the extent 

practicable adverse effects to EFH 

caused by fishing (16 U.S.C. 1853 

section 303(a)(7)). Straight lines 

connecting a series of latitude/longitude 

coordinates demarcate the boundaries 

for areas desingated as Groundfish EFH 

Conservation Areas. Coordinates 

outlining the boundaries of Groundfish 

EFH Conservation Areas are provided in 

§ 660.395. Fishing activity that is 

prohibited or permitted within the EEZ 

in a particular area designated as a 

groundfish EFH Conservation Area is 

detailed at § 660.306 and § 660.385. 

(a) Seaward of the 700-fm (1280-m) 

contour. This area includes all waters 

within the West Coast EEZ west of a line 

approximating the 700-fm (1280-m) 

depth contour and is defined by straight 

lines connecting all of the following 

points in the order stated:
