Electronic Access

This final rule also is accessible via the Internet at the Office of the Federal Register's website at www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index/html and at the NMFS Northwest Region website at www.nwr.noaa.gov/1sustfsh/gfsh/gdfsh/gdfsh01.html .

Background

NMFS published a final rule implementing Amendment 16-3 on September 28, 2004 (69 FR 57874). That final rule updated the list of rockfish species defined in the Code of Federal Regulations to match that listed in the FMP and corrected dusty rockfish to read dusky rockfish. In that final rule, dusty rockfish was mistakenly listed as dusky rockfish in the instruction language for which species was to be removed. This document corrects that amendatory instruction language.

Correction

As published, the final rule FR Doc. 04-21691, September 28, 2004, (69 FR 57874), contains an error and needs to be corrected.

§ 660.302 [Corrected]

1. On page 57881, in the third column, amendatory instruction 2 is corrected to read “In § 660.302, in the definition of “Groundfish,” under “Rockfish:” remove “dusty rockfish, S. ciliatus,” and add “chameleon rockfish, S. phillipsi,” “dwarf-red rockfish, S. rufinanus,” “dusky rockfish, S. ciliatus,” “freckled rockfish, S. lentiginosus,” “half-banded rockfish, S. semicinctus,” “pinkrose rockfish, S. simulator,” “pygmy rockfish, S. wilsoni,” and “swordspine rockfish, S. ensifer” in alphabetical order to read as follows:”

All other information previously published remains the same.
