[Docket No. 980318066-8066-01; I.D. 022698A]


Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Northeast 
Multispecies Fishery; Framework Adjustment 25; Correction

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

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects two portions of the regulatory text in 
the final rule for Framework Adjustment 25 to the Fishery Management 
Plan for the Northeast Multispecies Fishery (FMP) published Tuesday, 
March 31, 1998.

DATES: Effective May 1, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Tokarcik, 978-281-9326.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background
    The interim final rule for the Atlantic sea scallop fishery and the 
final rule to implement measures contained in Framework Adjustment 25 
to the FMP were published on Tuesday, March 31, 1998 (63 FR 15324 and 
63 FR 15326, respectively). Both rules added a provision to the same 
paragraph designation of the prohibitions section of 50 CFR part 648. 
Because the Atlantic Sea scallop interim final rule became effective on 
April 3, 1998, and Framework Adjustment 25 to the FMP is not effective 
until May 1, 1998, this document is correcting Framework Adjustment 25 
by changing its paragraph designation of (a)(110) to paragraph (a)(112) 
for its addition to Sec. 648.14. The regulatory text as published for 
the Atlantic sea scallop interim final rule remains unchanged.
    Also, Framework Adjustment 25 inadvertently included the time frame 
May 10 through May 30 as a period of time in which gillnet vessels 
would be prohibited from fishing in the Mid-coast Closure Area. This 
document is correcting Sec. 648.87(a)(1)(i) by removing the reference 
to May 10 through May 30.

Correction

    Accordingly, the publication on March 31, 1998, of the final 
regulations to implement Framework Adjustment 25 to the Northeast 
Multispecies FMP (I.D. 022698A), which was the subject of FR Doc. 98-
8288, is corrected as follows:
    1. On page 15330, in the first column, amendatory instruction 3, 
line 5, correct ``(a)(110)'' to read ``(a)(112)'', and in line 15 to 
the regulatory text to Sec. 648.14, correct ``(110)'' to read 
``(112)''.
    2. On page 15333, in the second column, in line 2 to the regulatory 
text to Sec. 648.87(a)(1)(i), remove ``May 10 through May 30''.

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

    Dated: April 15, 1998.
Rolland A. Schmitten,
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries 
Service.
