SUMMARY: NMFS issues a correction to the effective date section of 
final rules published on August 24, 1994 and September 6, 1994.

of Federal fisheries in and off of Alaska.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Lepore, 907-586-7228.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 9, 1993 (58 FR 59375), NMFS 
published a final rule to implement Amendment 15 to the Fishery 
Management Plan (FMP) for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and 
Aleutian Islands area (BSAI), Amendment 20 to the FMP for Groundfish of 
the Gulf of Alaska (GOA), and a regulatory amendment affecting the 
fishery for Pacific halibut in and off the State of Alaska. These 
regulations established an individual fishing quota limited-access 
system in fixed gear fisheries for Pacific halibut and sablefish in and 
off Alaska. In addition, this action implemented a Western Alaska 
Community Development Quota program for halibut and sablefish fixed 
gear fisheries. The effective date for the final rule was December 9, 
1993, except Secs. 676.20 (a) through (e) and (g) and 676.21, which 
became effective on January 1, 1994, and Secs. 676.13 (a) and (b), 
676.14, 676.16, 676.17, 676.20 introductory text and paragraph (f), and 
676.22, 676.23, and 676.24, which will become effective on January 1, 
1995.
    On August 24, 1994, NMFS issued a final rule implementing Amendment 
30 to the BSAI FMP and Amendment 34 to the GOA FMP and a regulatory 
amendment affecting Pacific halibut and sablefish fisheries in and off 
the State of Alaska. This final rule was effective September 23, 1994, 
but inadvertently amended Sec. 676.24, which will not be in effect 
until January 1, 1995.
    On September 6, 1994, NMFS issued a final rule to implement the 
North Pacific Fisheries Research Plan for the GOA groundfish fishery, 
BSAI management area groundfish fishery, BSAI king and Tanner crab 
fisheries, and Pacific halibut fishery in convention waters off Alaska. 
The final rule was effective October 6, 1994. In that rule Secs. 676.13 
and 676.16, which will be effective January 1, 1995, were inadvertently 
amended.
