50 CFR Part 224 

RIN 0648–XZ50 

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Final Endangered Listing 

of Five Species of Sawfish Under the 

Endangered Species Act 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: This action corrects the 

amendatory instruction to a final rule 

published on December 12, 2014, which 

incorrectly instructed deletion of the 

U.S. Distinct Population Segment of 

smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) 

from the list of endangered species 

under the Endangered Species Act. This 

correction removes the incorrect 

language from the instruction. 

DATES: This final rule correction is 

effective January 12, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Information regarding this 

final rule may be obtained by contacting 

NMFS, Endangered Species Division, 

1315 East West Highway, Silver Spring, 

MD 20910. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. 

Dwayne Meadows, NMFS, Office of 

Protected Resources (301) 427–8403. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Need for Correction 

In a final rule NMFS published on 

December 12, 2014 (79 FR 73977) to list 

5 species of sawfishes as endangered, 

we incorrectly included an instruction 

in the regulatory text section to delete 

the entry for a prior listing for a 

different sawfish (the U.S. Distinct 

Population Segment of smalltooth 

sawfish (Pristis pectinata)) from the list 

of endangered species under the 

Endangered Species Act in 50 CFR 

224.101(h). On page 74005, in column 3, 

amendatory instruction 2.A. is corrected 

to reads as follows: 

‘‘2. In § 224.101, paragraph (h), amend 

the table by: 

A. Removing the ‘‘Sawfish, 

largetooth’’ entry.’’ 

Dated: December 19, 2014.
