SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 15, 1994, the National Park Service (NPS) published in 
the Federal Register (59 FR 58781) a final rule changing the special 
regulations for Everglades National Park. The final rule completely 
revises the special regulations for the park. The rule achieves 
consistency with State fishing rules and allows the park to adopt State 
fishing regulations. It more closely regulates the activities of 
commercial guide fishing and redefines ``commercial fishing'' to 
include the taking of sponges and other non-edible marine life.
    The final rule allows the NPS to take a more proactive role in its 
mission to protect and conserve natural and cultural resources and 
gives the Superintendent more specific authority to regulate fishing 
and boating. It prohibits the use of personal watercraft, closes 
accessible marine wilderness areas to the use of motorized vessels and 
allows for better management of wildlife habitat sites. The rule also 
deletes existing obsolete regulations from the Code of Federal 
Regulations pertaining to mining and commercial fishing.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final rule contains two typographical errors 
which may prove to be misleading and are in need of correction.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on November 15, 1994 (59 FR 58781) of 
the final regulation, rule document 94- [[Page 6022]] 28071, for 
Everglades National Park is corrected as follows:
    1. In the rule document 94-28071 appearing on page 58784 in the 
issue of Tuesday, November 15, 1994, in the first column, fifth line 
``areas of emergency'' is corrected to read ``areas of emergent''.


Sec. 7.45  [Corrected]

    2. In the rule document 94-28071 appearing on page 58785 in the 
issue of Tuesday, November 15, 1994, in the third column, under 
Sec. 7.45 Everglades National Park, paragraph (b) Prohibited 
conveyances, line three, ``upon those areas of emergency'' is corrected 
to read ``upon those areas of emergent''.
