Although the history note for

						The emergency regulation, which dealt with Permits for Taking Stranded
						Muskoxen, was in effect for 120 days, from 8/6/97 - 12/3/97, Register 143.
						Through error, a notation of its 120-day existence was not added to the
						"permanent" regulations portion of the 5 AAC pamphlet at the time the emergency
						regulation lapsed and was deleted from the emergency regulations portion of
						that pamphlet. As a result of that error, the lapsed section number was
						inadvertently re-used for the current provision numbered as

						not reflect the earlier 120-day existence of the emergency
