SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of this correction 
consolidated several sections of regulations in parts 671, 672, 673, 
675, 676, 677, and 679. The consolidation was effected as part of the 
President's Regulatory Reform Initiative. The final rule reorganized 
management measures into a more logical and cohesive order, removed 
duplicative and outdated provisions, and made editorial changes for 
readability, clarity, and achieved uniformity in regulatory language. 
It was not intended to make substantive changes to existing 
regulations.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final rule contained a paragraph that was 
proposed in another agency rulemaking but had not yet been adopted as 
final. Therefore, inclusion of the paragraph in the consolidated rule 
would constitute a substantive change, in spite of the fact that the 
preamble stated that no such changes were made. The paragraph was 
inadvertantly placed in the rule.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on June 19, 1996, of the final 
regulations (I.D. 042996B), which was the subject of FR Doc. 96-14593, 
is corrected as follows:


Sec. 679.32  [Corrected]

    On page 31269, in the first column, in Sec. 679.32, paragraph 
(e)(1)(vi) is removed and reserved.

    Authority: 16 U.S.C. 773 et seq. and 1801 et seq.

    Dated: July 15, 1996.

Program Management Officer, National Marine Fisheries Service.
