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

ACTION: Correction to notice of availability of an amendment to a 
fishery management plan.

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

SUMMARY: NMFS corrects a notice of availability of Amendment 16A to the 
Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of 
Mexico to indicate the availability of a minority report. The minority 
report opposes Amendment 16A as inconsistent with national standards 2, 
4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, and specifically raises concerns regarding the 
proposed prohibition of the use of fish traps in the exclusive economic 
zone of the Gulf of Mexico south of 25 deg.03' N. lat. after February 
7, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the minority report should be sent to 
the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council, 3018 U.S. Highway 301 
North, Suite 1000, Tampa, FL 33619-2266, Phone: 813-228-2815; Fax: 813-
225-7015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Sadler, 727-570-5305.
