AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the availability of a second errata sheet for 
the Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Tunas, Swordfish, and Sharks 
(HMS FMP) published in April, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the HMS FMP, both errata sheets, the final rule, 
and supporting documents can be obtained from Rebecca Lent, Chief, 
Highly Migratory Species Management Division, Office of Sustainable 
Fisheries, NMFS, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karyl Brewster-Geisz, (301) 713-2347.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a September 1997 Report to Congress, NMFS 
identified north Atlantic swordfish, west Atlantic Bluefin tuna, and 
large coastal sharks as overfished. The HMS FMP, including a final 
environmental impact statement, was published in April, 1999, to comply 
with provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act for fisheries identified as overfished, and the final 
rule implementing actions included in the HMS FMP and Amendment 1 to 
the Atlantic Billfish Fishery Management Plan was published on May 28, 
1999 (64 FR 29090). Since the publication of the HMS FMP, a number of 
typographical mistakes and other errors have been noted throughout its 
three volumes. The first errata sheet was announced on December 14, 
1999 (64 FR 69742). The second errata sheet corrects errors that were 
noted since then.

    Dated: April 5, 2000

Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries 
Service.
