FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

James Poyer (410) 786–2261. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In FR Doc. 2018–08705 of May 7, 

2018 (83 FR 20164) there were a number 

of technical and typographical errors 

that are identified and corrected by the 

Correction of Errors section of this 

correcting document. 

II. Summary of Errors in the Preamble 

On page 20165, in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section, we 

inadvertently omitted the contact for the 

Medicaid Promoting Interoperability 

Program. 

On pages 20384, 20385, and 20401, 

we made errors that describe the notice 

announcing the extension of changes to 

the payment adjustment for low-volume 

hospitals and the Medicare-dependent 

hospital (MDH) program for fiscal year 

(FY) 2018 (CMS–1677–N) as appearing 

in the May 7, 2018 issue of the Federal 

Register in which the proposed rule 

appeared. This notice appeared in the 

April 26, 2018 issue of the Federal 

Register (83 FR 18301). 

On pages 20483, 20484, and 20492, in 

our discussion of the Hospital Inpatient 

Quality Reporting (IQR) Program, we 

made technical and typographical errors 

in two website links and in referencing 

the payment determination year 

corresponding with the CY 2020 

reporting period. 

On page 20533, in our discussion of 

the proposed new measure for the 

Promoting Interoperability Programs, 

Support Electronic Referral Loops by 

Receiving and Incorporating Health 

Information, we made a technical error 

in our citation to the CEHRT capabilities 

and standards that eligible hospitals and 

CAHs must use. We erroneously cited 

45 CFR 170.315(g)(1) and (2) instead of 

45 CFR 170.315(b)(1) and (2). 

On page 20557, in our discussion of 

the information collection requirements 

for the Hospital IQR Program, we made 

a technical error by referring to an 

outdated name of a form in our 

description of burden estimates for 

proposed removal of two structural 

measures. 

On page 20563, in our discussion of 

the information collection burden 

estimates for the Promoting 

Interoperability Programs, we made a 

technical error by incorrectly referring 

to Title 45 instead of Title 42 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) when 

describing proposed amendments to the 

prior approval policy applicable in the 

Medicaid Promoting Interoperability 

Program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

published a proposed rule to implement 

Amendment 116 to the Fishery 

Management Plan for Groundfish of the 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

Management Area (BSAI FMP) on June 

6, 2018 (83 FR 26237). If approved, 

Amendment 116 would limit access to 

the BSAI TLAS yellowfin sole directed 

fishery by vessels that deliver their 

catch of yellowfin sole to motherships 

for processing. This proposed rule 

would (1) establish eligibility criteria 

based on historical participation in the 

BSAI TLAS yellowfin sole directed 

fishery, (2) issue an endorsement to 

those groundfish License Limitation 

Program (LLP) licenses that meet the 

eligibility criteria, and (3) authorize 

delivery of BSAI TLAS yellowfin sole to 

motherships by only those vessels 

designated on a groundfish LLP license 

that is endorsed for the BSAI TLAS 

yellowfin sole directed fishery. The 

public comment period for the proposed 

rule ends on July 6, 2018. 

Need for Correction 

Proposed Table 52 in the proposed 

rule incorrectly identifies the 

groundfish LLP licenses that would be 

eligible to be credited with qualifying 

landings and receive an endorsement 

that allows catcher vessels to deliver 

BSAI TLAS yellowfin sole to a 

mothership. Proposed Table 53 

incorrectly identifies the groundfish 

LLP licenses that would be eligible for, 

but would not be credited with, 

qualifying landings and thus would not 

receive a BSAI TLAS yellowfin sole 

catcher vessel directed fishery 

endorsement to deliver to a mothership 

until notification from the vessel owner 

is received by NMFS. Two paragraphs 

in the preamble to the proposed rule 

that describe these eligible groundfish 

LLP licenses incorrectly identified the 

number of groundfish LLP licenses that 

would be eligible to be credited with 

qualifying landings and receive a BSAI 

TLAS yellowfin sole catcher vessel 

directed fishery endorsement. These 

corrections are necessary because the 

proposed rule, if approved as published, 

would result in a total of seven 

groundfish LLP licenses that would 

receive a BSAI TLAS yellowfin sole 

directed fishery endorsement. However, 

NMFS has determined that a total of 

eight groundfish LLP licenses would 

receive a BSAI TLAS yellowfin sole 

directed fishery endorsement. 

Based on the information provided in 

the analysis and the official record, 

NMFS has determined that 10 

groundfish LLP licenses would be 

eligible to be credited with qualifying 

landing(s) and receive a BSAI TLAS 

yellowfin sole directed fishery 

endorsement. Six of these groundfish 

LLP licenses, rather than two as 

published in the proposed rule on June 

6, 2018, would be immediately eligible 

to be credited with a qualifying landing 

and receive the endorsement 

(groundfish LLP licenses 3741, 3944, 

2913, 1667, 3714, and 1820). Therefore, 

under this proposed rule, those six 

groundfish LLP licenses would be 

credited with a qualifying landing and 

receive a BSAI TLAS directed fishery 

endorsement. The remaining four 

eligible groundfish LLP licenses 

(groundfish LLP licenses 3838, 2702, 

3902, and 3826), rather than eight as 

published in the proposed rule on June 

6, 2018, were each one of two 

groundfish LLP licenses designated on a 

vessel that made qualifying landings 

during the qualifying period; therefore, 

those four groundfish LLP licenses 

would be eligible to be credited with a 

qualifying landing and receive an 

endorsement. For any of those four 

groundfish LLP licenses to be credited 

with a qualifying landing and receive an 

endorsement, the vessel owner would 

be required to select one groundfish LLP 

license that NMFS is to credit with all 

qualifying landings made by that vessel. 

Up to two of those four groundfish LLP 

licenses could be credited with a 

qualifying landing and receive an 

endorsement from NMFS. Therefore, 

NMFS anticipates that a total of eight 

groundfish LLP licenses could receive a 

BSAI TLAS yellowfin sole directed 

fishery endorsement under the proposed 

rule, resulting in up to eight vessels that 

could participate in the BSAI TLAS 

yellowfin sole directed fishery and 

deliver their catch to a mothership. 

Correction 

In the proposed rule, published on 

June 6, 2018 (83 FR 26237), the 

following corrections are made: 

1. On page 26245, beginning in 

column 2, the last paragraph is 

corrected to read as follows: 

Based on the information provided in 

the Analysis and the official record, 

NMFS has determined that ten 

groundfish LLP licenses would be 

eligible to be credited with qualifying 

landing(s) and receive a BSAI TLAS 

yellowfin sole directed fishery 

endorsement. Six of these were the sole 

groundfish LLP license designated on a 

vessel in a given year during the 

qualifying period, for those vessels that 

made a qualifying landing. Therefore, 

under this proposed rule, those six 

groundfish LLP licenses would be 

credited with a qualifying landing and 

receive a BSAI TLAS directed fishery 

endorsement. The remaining four 

eligible groundfish LLP licenses were 

each one of two groundfish LLP licenses 

designated on a vessel that made 

qualifying landings during the 

qualifying period; therefore, those four 

groundfish LLP licenses would be 

eligible to be credited with a qualifying 

landing and receive an endorsement. 

For any of those four groundfish LLP 

licenses to be credited with a qualifying 

landing and receive an endorsement, the 

vessel owner would be required to 

select one groundfish LLP license that 

NMFS is to credit with all qualifying 

landings made by that vessel. Up to two 

of those four groundfish LLP licenses 

could be credited with a qualifying 

landing and receive an endorsement 

from NMFS. Therefore, NMFS 

anticipates that a total of eight 

groundfish LLP licenses could receive a

28606 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 20, 2018 / Proposed Rules 

BSAI TLAS yellowfin sole directed 

fishery endorsement under the proposed 

rule, resulting in up to eight vessels that 

could participate in the BSAI TLAS 

yellowfin sole directed fishery and 

deliver their catch to a mothership. 

2. On page 26246, beginning in 

column 2, the last paragraph is 

corrected to read as follows: 

Based on the official record, NMFS 

has identified ten groundfish LLP 

licenses that would be eligible to be 

credited with qualifying landings. Six of 

these eligible groundfish LLP licenses 

were the sole groundfish LLP license on 

which a given vessel was designated at 

the time the vessel made qualifying 

landings of BSAI TLAS yellowfin sole. 

Therefore, NMFS would credit these six 

groundfish LLP licenses with the 

qualifying landings under this proposed 

rule. NMFS proposes to list these six 

groundfish LLP licenses in Table 52 to 

part 679. The remaining four eligible 

groundfish LLP licenses were not the 

sole groundfish LLP license on which a 

given vessel was designated at the time 

the vessel made at least one trip target 

in the BSAI TLAS fishery during the 

qualifying period. Because this 

proposed rule would require in such 

cases that the vessel owner specify one 

groundfish LLP license to receive credit 

with the qualified landing(s) made by 

that vessel, NMFS would not be able to 

credit these groundfish LLP licenses 

until NMFS receives notification from 

the vessel owner which groundfish LLP 

license should be credited with the 

qualifying landing(s). NMFS proposes to 

list in Table 53 to part 679 the four 

groundfish LLP licenses that would be 

eligible for, but would not be credited 

with, qualifying landings until 

notification from the vessel owner is 

received by NMFS. The proposed 

notification process is described in the 

following section. 

3. On page 26251, column 2, is 

corrected to correctly identify the 

groundfish LLP licenses that are eligible 

to be assigned an endorsement for the 

BSAI Trawl Limited Access Sector 

yellowfin sole fishery. 

Table 52 is corrected and reprinted in
