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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final rule (I.D. 
042696A), which was published Friday, August 23, 1996 (61 FR 43420). 
The final rule implemented the approved provisions of Amendment 8 to 
the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for the Summer Flounder and Scup 
Fisheries.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Regina L. Spallone, Fishery Policy 
Analyst, 508-281-9221.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Amendment 8 revised the summer flounder FMP to include management 
measures for the scup fishery in order to reduce fishing mortality and 
to allow the stock to rebuild.

Need for Correction

    The final rule that implemented the approved provisions of 
Amendment 8 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Summer Flounder and 
Scup Fisheries (61 FR 43420, August 23, 1996) redesignated paragraph 
(t) of the regulatory text under 50 CFR 648.14 as paragraph (u) and 
added and reserved a new paragraph (t). Paragraph (t) should not have 
been redesignated as paragraph (u), because it had already been 
redesignated in Amendment 7 (61 FR 39909, July 31, 1996), and hence it 
was also not necessary to add and reserve a new paragraph (t) as a 
place holder. Therefore, NMFS is correcting amendatory instruction 12 
by removing that part of the instruction.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on August 23, 1996, of the final rule 
(I.D. 042696A), which was the subject of FR Doc. 96-21515, is corrected 
as follows:
    On page 43426 of the regulatory text, in the first column, 
amendatory instruction 12 is corrected as follows:
    ``12. In Sec. 648.14, paragraphs (a)(80) through (a)(88), and 
paragraph (u)(6) are added, and paragraphs (k) and (l) are revised to 
read as follows:''

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

    Dated: October 9, 1996.
Rolland A. Schmitten,
Assistant Adminstrator for Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries 
Service.
