Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Receipt of Petition for 
Rulemaking; Correction

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Correction to notice of receipt of petition for rulemaking and 
request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS corrects the notice of receipt of petition for rulemaking 
on issues relating to Atlantic highly migratory species published on 
December 22, 1993 (58 FR 67761). The National Fishing Association (NFA) 
petitioned NMFS to restrict commercial net fishing in certain months in 
five special management zones defined in the petition for the offshore 
waters of the northwest Atlantic Ocean. The petition also requests 
mandatory logbooks for recreational vessels fishing for certain highly 
migratory species and a revised definition of a commercial fishing 
vessel. This document corrects the longitude and latitude coordinates 
of the restrictive fishing zones.
