Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Deep-sea Red Crab 
Fishery; Correction

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

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking; notice of a control date 
for the purposes of controlling entry in the deep-sea red crab fishery; 
correction.

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

SUMMARY: On March 1, 2000, NMFS published an announcement that it is 
considering, and is seeking public comment on, proposed rulemaking to 
control future access to the deep-sea red crab (Chaceon quinquedens) 
resource if a management regime is developed and implemented under the 
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act that limits 
the number of participants in the fishery. The announcement indicated 
that written comments may be sent to the New England Fishery Management 
Council at the address provided in the announcement and may also be 
submitted by facsimile (fax). However, an incorrect fax number was 
provided. This document corrects the error.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before 5:00 p.m., local 
time, March 31, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Paul J. Howard, Executive 
Director, New England Fishery

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice of a control date for the 
purposes of controlling entry in the deep-sea red crab fishery was 
published in the Federal Register on March 1, 2000 (65 FR 11029), and 
invited public comment. The fax number identified in the announcement 
was incorrect and this action corrects the error.

notice of proposed rule for the deep-sea red crab fishery (I.D. 
020300A), which was the subject of FR Doc. 00-4910, is corrected as 
follows:
    On page 11029, column 3, ninth line in the ADDRESSES section is 
corrected to read as follows:
    ``facsimile (fax) to (978) 465-3116.''

    Dated: March 9, 2000.
