Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Final Rule To Revise the 

Code of Federal Regulations for 

Species Under the Jurisdiction of the 

National Marine Fisheries Service; 

Correction 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule; correcting 

amendments. 

SUMMARY: This document contains 

technical corrections for errors in a rule 

related to Endangered Species Act (ESA) 

protections for distinct population 

segments (DPSs) of the loggerhead sea 

turtle (Caretta caretta). The ‘‘Final Rule 

to Revise the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) for Species Under the 

Jurisdiction of the National Marine 

Fisheries Service’’ revised the CFR 

tables that list threatened and 

endangered species under the ESA. 

During that process, we incorrectly 

revised the descriptions of listed entities 

for the DPSs of the loggerhead sea turtle 

in a manner that differs from the 

original listing descriptions. In this 

document, we correct the descriptions 

of the DPSs in the CFR tables. We also 

add cross-references to recently 

designated critical habitat of the 

Northwest Atlantic Ocean DPS of the 

loggerhead sea turtle. 

DATES: Effective on December 31, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Schultz at (301) 427–8443, or 

Angela Somma at (301) 427–8474. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 14, 2014, we, NMFS, issued 

the ‘‘Final Rule to Revise the Code of 

Federal Regulations for Species Under 

the Jurisdiction of the National Marine 

Fisheries Service’’ (79 FR 20802) to 

clarify and update the descriptions and 

associated protections for species that 

are listed as threatened or endangered 

under the ESA. These revisions changed 

the format and content of the tables, 

which list and describe threatened and 

endangered species under NMFS’ 

jurisdiction at 50 CFR 223.102(e) and 50 

CFR 224.101(h), respectively. For 

example, the table columns previously 

labeled, ‘‘where listed’’ are now labeled 

‘‘description of listed entity,’’ and the 

columns labeled, ‘‘critical habitat’’ now 

cite the specific section in 50 CFR part 

226, where the critical habitat 

description is found. 

During this process, we incorrectly 

revised the descriptions of the listed 

entities for the DPSs of the loggerhead 

sea turtle. For example, we changed the 

description of listed entity from 

‘‘Northwest Atlantic Ocean north of the 

equator, south of 60° N. Lat., and west 

of 40° W. Long.,’’ to ‘‘loggerhead sea 

turtles originating from the Northwest 

Atlantic Ocean west of 40° W. Long.’’ 

Therefore, this document amends the 

tables by correcting the descriptions of 

listed entities for the DPSs of the 

loggerhead sea turtle to reflect the 

original listing description published in 

the CFR. There was one mistake in the 

original listing (76 FR 58868, September 

22, 2011). The Southwest Indian Ocean
