# ACTION: 

Final rule; correcting amendments.

# SUMMARY:

                        This document contains a correction to the final rule consolidating regulations for fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska that was published in the                         **Federal Register**                         on June 19, 1996.                    

# DATES:

Effective June 20, 2001.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    A final rule was published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on 61 FR 31227 (June 19, 1996), to consolidate six parts (671, 672, 673, 675, 676, and 677) in title 50 of the CFR into one new part (50 CFR part 679).  A new prohibition to § 679.7 was created by combining the prohibitions from the formerly separate six parts.  Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) fisheries prohibitions were placed into § 679.7 (f).                

An error was made in citing the cross reference within one paragraph placed in the new part.  The former prohibition § 676.16 (d) referred the reader to an exception at § 676.17.  Section 676.17 (a), entitled “vessel clearance,” described vessel landing procedures and became § 679.5(l)(3) entitled “vessel clearance.”  Section 676.17(b), entitled “Ten Percent Adjustment Policy,” described a requirement to harvest within the allocated IFQ permit amount.  This second paragraph became § 679.40 (d).  The former prohibition § 676.16 (d) became § 679.7 (f)(4).

The error occurs because the cross reference at  § 679.7 (f)(4) incorrectly refers the reader to an exception at § 679.5 (l)(3); the correct cite is § 679.40 (d).

# List of Subjects in 50 CFR Part 679

Alaska, Fisheries, Recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

Accordingly, 50 CFR part 679 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments:

# PART 679—FISHERIES OF THE EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE OFF ALASKA

1. The authority citation for part 679 continues to read as follows:

Authority:16 U.S.C. 773*et seq.*, 1801                             *et seq.*, and 1631                             *et seq.*

§ 679.7

2. In § 679.7 (f)(4), remove “Except as provided in § 679.5 (l)(3)” and add in its place, “Except as provided in § 679.40 (d)”. 

Dated: June 14, 2001.
