(i) Possession and use of required 

mitigation gear. The equipment listed in 

paragraph (c)(5)(i) of this section must 

be carried on board and must be used 

to handle, release, and disentangle 

hooked or entangled sea turtles, 

prohibited sharks, or smalltooth sawfish 

in accordance with requirements

caught, the fish should be kept in the 

water while maintaining water flow 

over the gills and examined for research 

tags and the line should be cut as close 

to the hook as possible. Dehooking 

devices should not be used to release 

smalltooth sawfish.

Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine 

National Monument; Correction 

AGENCIES: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Department of Commerce (DOC); United 

States Fish and Wildlife Service 

(USFWS), Department of the Interior 

(DOI). 

ACTION: Final rule; correcting 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: NOAA and the USFWS 

published final regulations for the 

Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine 

National Monument (Monument) on 

August 29, 2006. The preamble and 

regulatory text of that notice contained 

errors pertaining to the electronic mail 

address for submitting comments on the 

information collection requirements of 

that rule, the reference to the 

dimensions of the outer boundary of the 

Monument, and the numbering 

sequence for one paragraph. This final 

rule corrects those errors. This rule 

makes no substantive change to the 

regulations. 

DATES: This correction is effective 

February 7, 2007. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulations published by NOAA and 

the USFWS on August 29, 2006 to 

codify the prohibitions and management 

measures set forth in Presidential 

Proclamation 8031 (71 FR 36443, June 

26, 2006) establishing the Monument, 

contained an error in the instructions 

for submitting comments on the 

information collection requirements of 

the final rule via electronic mail, the 

reference to the dimensions of the 

Monument’s outer boundary, and the 

numbering sequence for one paragraph. 

The first error appeared in the first 

sentence of the ADDRESSES section of the 

notice. Here the notice incorrectly refers 

to a ‘‘proposed rule’’ and provides the 

incorrect e-mail address. That sentence 

should read ‘‘Submit written comments 

regarding the burden-hour estimates or 

other aspects of the information 

collection requirements contained in 

this final rule by e-mail to Diana Hynek 

at dHynek@doc.gov.’’ The incorrect email address also appeared in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of 

the notice in the first column on page 

51135 below the table. The e-mail 

address should read dHynek@doc.gov. 

The second error is in the third 

sentence of the first paragraph of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of 

the notice, where dimensions for the 

outer boundary of the Monument were 

given. The dimensions are for the 

Monument, not the outer boundary. 

Therefore, this sentence should read 

‘‘The Monument is approximately 100 

nmi wide and extends approximately 

1200 nmi around coral islands, 

seamounts, banks, and shoals.’’

The regulatory text of that rule also 

contained an error in the numbering 

sequence for one paragraph. Paragraph 

404.11(f)(1)(ii) should have been 

designated as paragraph 

404.11(f)(1)(i)(A). Paragraphs 

404.11(f)(1)(ii)(A) and (B) and paragraph 

404.11(f)(1)(iii) should have been 

numbered paragraphs 404.11(f)(1)(i)(B) 

through (D), respectively. Paragraph 

404.11(f)(1)(iv) should have been 

designated as paragraph 404.11(f)(1)(ii). 

This final rule makes these corrections. 

The substance of the regulations 

remains unchanged. 

Classification 

Administrative Procedure Act 

The Secretaries find good cause to 

waive notice and comment on this 

correction, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

533(b)(B), and the 30-day delay in 

effective date pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

553(d). Notice and comment are 

unnecessary because this correction is a 

minor, technical change in an e-mail 

address and the numbering of the 

regulations as well as elimination of 

erroneous references to the notice as a 

proposed rule and the dimensions of the 

Monument’s outer boundary. The 

substance of the regulations remains 

unchanged. Therefore, this correction is 

being published as a final regulation 

and is effective February 7, 2007. 

E.O. 12866 

This rule has been determined to be 

not significant for purposes of E.O. 

12866.

purchase and maintain comprehensive 

general liability insurance, or post an 

equivalent bond, against claims arising 

out of activities conducted under the

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: On January 30, 2007, NMFS 

published a final rule implementing 

2007 specifications and management 

measures for Atlantic mackerel, squid, 

and butterfish (MSB) and modifying 

existing management measures. The 

preamble to the final rule contains Table 

1 announcing the specifications for 

Atlantic mackerel, squid, and butterfish 

fisheries for the 2007 fishing year. Table 

2 of the preamble to the final rule 

announces the trimester allocation of 

the Loligo squid quota in 2007. The 

headings to both tables inadvertently 

indicated that the specifications and 

allocation for 2007 were ‘‘proposed’’

rather than ‘‘final’’. This document 

corrects those errors. 

DATES: Effective March 1, 2007.

Carrie Nordeen, Fishery Policy Analyst,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulations implementing the Fishery 

Management Plan for the Atlantic 

Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish 

Fisheries (FMP) appear at 50 CFR part 

648, subpart B, and regulations 

governing foreign fishing appear at 50 

CFR part 600, subpart F. The final rule 

published on January 30, 2007 (72 FR 

4211) fulfilled NMFS regulatory 

requirements at §§ 648.21 and 

600.516(c) based on the maximum 

optimum yield (Max OY) of each fishery 

as established by the regulations, 

annually specify the amounts of the 

initial optimum yield (IOY), allowable 

biological catch (ABC), domestic annual 

harvest (DAH), and domestic annual 

processing (DAP), as well as, where 

applicable, the amounts for total 

allowable level of foreign fishing 

(TALFF) and joint venture processing 

(JVP) for the affected species managed 

under the FMP. The final specifications 

for 2007 were identified in Table 1 of 

the preamble to the final rule. However, 

the heading to Table 1 inadvertently 

indicated that the specifications were 

‘‘proposed’’ rather than ‘‘final’’. This 

document corrects the heading for Table 

1 appearing on page 4212 (FR Doc. E7–

1445) of the preamble contained in the 

January 30, 2007 Federal Register 

document. The remainder of Table 1 is 

republished in its entirety for the 

public’s convenience. 

The final rule published January 30, 

2007 (72 FR 4213) also identified the 

distribution of the trimester allocation 

of Loligo squid quota for the 2007 

fishing year. However, the heading to 

Table 2 inadvertently indicated that the 

trimester allocation was ‘‘proposed’’

rather than ‘‘final’’. This document 

corrects the heading for Table 2 

appearing on page 4213 (FR Doc. E7–

1445) of the preamble contained in the 

January 30, 2007 Federal Register final 

rule document. The remainder of Table 

2 is republished in its entirety for the 

public’s convenience. 

Correction 

Accordingly, the final rule published 

on January 30, 2007, at 72 FR 4211 (FR 

Doc. E7–1445), to be effective March 1, 

2007, is corrected as follows: 

1. On page 4212, Table 1, title heading 

is corrected and the table text is 

republished to read as follows:
