 Final rule; correction.

# SUMMARY:

                         On July 1, 2008, a final rule to implement Amendment 9 to the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish (MSB) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) was published in the                         **Federal Register**                        . The final rule was published with one error. Instead of revising the introductory text for the regulations describing squid and butterfish moratorium permits, the amendatory instructions of the final rule inadvertently revised the entire section. This document corrects that error.

 Effective July 31, 2008.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On July 1, 2008 (73 FR 37382 ), a final rule was published implementing Amendment 9 to the MSB FMP (Amendment 9). Amendment 9 established multi-year specifications for all four species managed under the FMP (mackerel, butterfish,                     *Illex*                     squid, and                     *Loligo*                     squid) for up to 3 years; extended the moratorium on entry into the                     *Illex*                     squid fishery, without a sunset provision; adopted biological reference points recommended by the Stock Assessment Review Committee for                     *Loligo*                     squid; designated essential fish habitat (EFH) for                     *Loligo*                     squid eggs based on best available scientific information; and prohibited bottom trawling by MSB-permitted vessels in Lydonia and Oceanographer Canyons. The                           ( print page 44172)                        amendatory instructions for the final rule implementing Amendment 9 contained an error. Instead of revising the introductory text for the regulations describing squid and butterfish moratorium permits, the amendatory instructions for the final rule inadvertently revised the entire section. This document corrects this error.                

## Correction

Accordingly, the final rule, published on July 1, 2008, at 73 FR 37382, to be effective July 31, 2008, is corrected as follows:

1. On page 37388, in column 1, correct the second amendatory instruction to read: “2. In § 648.4, the introductory text for paragraph (a)(5)(i) is revised to read as follows:''
