SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    A final rule was published in the Federal Register on March 17, 
1998, announcing the annual management measures for Pacific halibut 
fisheries and approval of catch sharing plans (63 FR 13000). That 
document contained one typographical error that misstated a date 
established by the International Pacific Halibut Commission.

Correction

    As published, an incorrect date was listed in the March 17, 1998, 
edition of the Federal Register. On page 13004 in the second column, 
paragraph (2) of section 8, the dates for the fishing periods currently 
read as follows: ``July 22, August 19, August 26, September 9,* * *.'' 
The ``August 19'' date is incorrect and should read ``August 12.'' NMFS 
is correcting this error and is making no substantive change to the 
document in this action.

    Dated: June 5, 1998.
Rolland A. Schmitten,
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries 
Service.
