After the regulations implementing CE-BA 2 and the Generic ACL Amendment became effective on January 30, 2012, NMFS determined that the quota for Gulf allowable octocoral, specified in paragraph (b) of § 622.42, was inadvertently retained in the regulations. The final rule implementing the Generic ACL Amendment removed the allowable octocoral quota for the Gulf EEZ, and the final rule implementing CE-BA 2 removed the allowable octocoral quota for the South Atlantic EEZ. However, these two final rules became effective on the same day and the Gulf allowable octocoral quota was inadvertently retained in the regulations through the final rule implementing CE-BA 2. NMFS's intent was to remove the quota for both Gulf and South Atlantic allowable octocoral from the regulations because the quota is no longer managed under Federal FMPs. This correcting amendment is necessary to remove and reserve paragraph (b) in § 622.42.
As published, the final rule implementing CE-BA 2 contains an error in the regulatory text. In § 622.42, paragraph (b) should be removed and reserved. All other information remains unchanged and will not be repeated in this correction.
1. The authority citation for part 622 continues to read as follows: Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
§ 622.42 [Amended]
2. In § 622.42, paragraph (b) is removed and reserved. [FR Doc. 2012-12156 Filed 5-17-12; 8:45 am]
