SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

    As published, a description was inappropriately inserted in the 
last sentence of the summary section describing the populations 
affected by this listing change. This error changed the intent of the 
final rule by appearing to focus only on the U.S. population segment of 
Steller sea lions, as opposed to focusing on the Steller sea lion 
species throughout its entire range.
    Accordingly, the publication of the final rule FR Doc. 97-11668, 
that

[[Page 23227]]

published on May 5, 1997 (62 FR 24345), is corrected as follows:
    On page 24345, in the third column, in the last line of the 
summary, remove ``U.S.'' before the words ``Steller sea lion 
population.''

    Dated: April 22, 1998.

Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries 
Service.
