red snapper season, and some vessels 

would be expected to benefit more than 

others. Estimates of the average annual 

net operating revenues per vessel are 

not available, and estimates of the 

average annual gross revenues per 

vessel, provided above, are an 

inappropriate proxy because gross 

revenues do not account for operating 

expenditures. As a result, estimates of 

the average percentage increase in net 

operating revenues are not available. It 

is noted, however, that because these 

effects would only occur in response to 

subsequent rule-making, these effects 

would indirectly result from this 

emergency rule. 

Because no direct effects on any small 

entities have been identified or are 

expected to occur as a result of this 

emergency rule, the issue of significant 

alternatives is not relevant. 

Pursuant to the Administrative 

Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the 

Assistant Administrative for Fisheries 

(AA) finds good cause to waive the 

delay in effectiveness of this final 

emergency rule. This rule grants NMFS 

the authority to re-open the Gulf 

recreational red snapper season. The reopening of the red snapper fishing 

season would only occur as a result of 

subsequent rule-making. This 

emergency rule is purely procedural in 

nature, and does not impose any new 

compliance requirements or reporting 

burdens on the public for which a delay 

in effectiveness would be necessary. For 

these reasons, the AA finds good cause 

to waive the 30-day delay in 

effectiveness of this rulemaking.

ACTION: Correction to final rule. 

SUMMARY: This document contains three 

corrections to the final rule pertaining to 

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Chinook Salmon 

Bycatch Management in the Bering Sea 

Pollock Fishery published on August 

30, 2010. These corrections amend 

content within tables to eliminate 

potential confusion by the public. 

DATES: Effective September 29, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

A final rule was published in the 

Federal Register on August 30, 2010 (75 

FR 53026) that revises several sections 

of regulations that pertain to the 

management of Chinook salmon bycatch 

in the Bering Sea subarea of the Bering 

Sea and Aleutian Islands Management 

Area (BSAI). This final rule applies to 

owners and operators of catcher vessels, 

catcher/processors, motherships, 

inshore processors, and the six Western 

Alaska Community Development Quota 

(CDQ) Program groups participating in 

the pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) 

fishery that is managed under the 

Fishery Management Plan for 

Groundfish of the BSAI. 

The first error is an incorrect table 

number that exists within a table used 

to determine the amount of Chinook 

salmon associated with each CDQ 

group. The second and third errors 

occur in the ‘‘locate and remove’’ table. 

The ‘‘locate and remove’’ table is used to 

define specific technical changes in 

regulatory citations. The errors occurred 

in the listing of specific citation changes 

in this table. These changes are 

unnecessary and need to be removed 

because the citations are identified 

earlier for removal in the amendatory 

instructions. These errors should be 

corrected immediately to eliminate 

potential confusion by the regulated 

public. 

The Assistant Administrator for 

Fisheries, NOAA (AA), finds good cause 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive 

prior notice and the opportunity for 

public comment because it would be 

unnecessary and contrary to the public 

interest. These errors should be 

corrected immediately to eliminate 

potential confusion by the regulated 

public. If the effective date for these 

corrections is delayed to solicit prior 

public comment, these technical errors 

will not be corrected by the effective 

date of this final rule, thereby 

undermining the conservation and 

management objectives of the FMP. The 

AA further finds, pursuant to 5 U.S.C 

553(d)(3), good cause to waive the thirty 

(30) day delayed effectiveness period for 

the reasons stated above. 

NMFS is correcting these errors and is 

not making substantive changes to the 

document in rule FR Doc. 2010–20618 

published on August 30, 2010 (75 FR 

53026). 

Need for Correction 

Accordingly, the final rule published 

on August 30, 2010 (75 FR 53026), to be 

effective September 29, 2010, is 

corrected as follows: 

§ 679.21 [Corrected] 

1. On page 53061, in § 679.21 

(f)(4)(i)(D), in the fourth column of the 

table, under the column heading 

‘‘Reduce the B season allocation by the 

sum of the amount of Chinook salmon 

associated with each vessel or CDQ 

group not participating in an IPA:’’, 

correct the reference to ‘‘Table 43d’’ to 

read as ‘‘Table 47d’’. 

§§ 679.7 and 679.26 [Corrected] 

2. On page 53069, in the ‘‘locate and 

remove’’ table at the bottom of the page, 

under all four columns, remove line 

seven, that starts with, ‘‘§ 679.7(d)(18)’’ 

and remove line eleven that starts with 

‘‘§ 679.26(c)(1).’’
