SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
NMFS published a document in the Federal Register of February 3,
1999 (64 FR 5196), announcing preliminary adjustments to the 1999
summer flounder commercial quotas. The notification also corrected
errors for Rhode Island's commercial summer flounder allocation
specified in Table 1.--1999 State Commercial Quotas to the preamble of
the document published on December 31, 1998 (63 FR 72203). Portions of
the text describing revisions made to Table 1 of the December 31
publication were inaccurate and some text was also omitted. However,
Tables 2 and 3 of the February 3, 1999, publication accurately reflect
these corrections. Therefore, this document corrects only this text
portion of the preamble to the February 3, 1999, correction document
related to the Rhode Island commercial summer flounder allocation.
Corrections
In FR Doc. 99-2465, published in the Federal Register of February
3, 1999, on page 5196, in column 3, the first 5 complete paragraphs are
correctly added and the text that was inadvertently omitted is added to
read as follows:
This notification also corrects errors for Rhode Island's
commercial summer flounder allocation specified in the preamble to
Table 1.--1999 State Commercial Quotas published on December 31, 1998
(63 FR 72203).
In FR Doc. 98-34511, on page 72204, in Table 1.--1999 State
Commercial Quotas, the commercial state allocation for Rhode Island is
corrected to read as follows:
In the third column of the table, under the heading ``Directed'',
and under the subheading ``Lb'', in the fourth line, ``1,171,379'' is
corrected to read ``1,172,758''; in the last line, the total
``7,468,107'' is corrected to read ``7,477,232'' and in the fourth
column of the table, under the same heading, and under the subheading
``KG'', in the fourth line, ``53,133'' is corrected to read
``531,954''; in the last line, the total ``3,387,476'' is corrected to
read ``3,391,615''.
In the fifth column of the table, under the heading ``Incidental
catch'', under the subheading ``Lb'', in the fourth line, ``571,204''
is corrected to read ``569,825''; in the last line the total
``3,642,191'' is corrected to read ``3,633,068'' and in the sixth
column, under the same heading, under the subheading ``KG'', in the
fourth line, ``259,094'' is corrected to read ``258,468'' and in the
last line, the total ``1,652,070'' is corrected to read ``1,647,932''.
In the seventh column, under the heading ``Total'', under the
subheading ``Lb'', in the fourth line, ``1,741,583'' is corrected to
read ``1,742,583''; and under the same heading, under the same
subheading, in the last line, the total ``11,111,191'' is corrected to
read ``11,110,300''; and in the eighth column, under the same heading
and under the subheading ``KG'', in the fourth line, ``789,968'' is
corrected to read ``790,422'' and in the last line the total
``5,039,951'' is corrected to read ``5,039,547''. These corrections are
reflected in Tables 2 and 3 of this document. In addition, Tables 2 and
3 reflect a quota transfer of 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) from North Carolina
to Virginia (64 FR 2600, January 15, 1999).
