ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations 
(I.D. 103097B), which were published in the Federal Register of 
Thursday, June 25, 1998, (63 FR 34606). The regulations implemented 
management measures that restrict the frequency of limited entry permit 
transfers to once every 12 months, with transfers taking effect on the 
first day of a cumulative landings limit period. This rule also 
required the sorting of groundfish species with trip limits, size 
limits, quotas, or harvest guidelines at the point of landing, and the 
retention of landings receipts on board the vessel that has made those 
landings.

DATES: Effective July 27, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Yvonne de Reynier, NMFS, 206-526-6120.
