announcing inseason changes to 

management measures in the 

commercial Pacific Coast groundfish 

fishery, which were published in the 

Federal Register on July 5, 2007, and

groundfish trawl fishery that were

access more abundant groundfish stocks 

while protecting overfished and 

depleted stocks, remain in place.

Background 

This correction reinstates several 

limited entry trawl commercial trip 

limits that were published in a proposed 

rule on September 29, 2006 (71 FR 

57764) and implemented in a final rule 

on December 29, 2006 (71 FR 78638). 

Trip limits are an important 

management measure used in the 

Pacific Coast groundfish fishery to allow 

fisheries to access more abundant 

groundfish stocks while protecting 

overfished and depleted stocks. The trip 

limits that are the subject of this 

correction are contained in Tables 3 

(North) and 3 (South) to part 660 

subpart G. 

Need for the Correction 

Due to a formatting error, these trip 

limits were inadvertently omitted 

during the publication of inseason 

changes on July 5, 2007 (72 FR 36617), 

which are effective August 1, 2007.
