SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In the final rule implementing the 2000 annual specifications for 
summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass, the regulations were 
inadvertently made effective for the same time frame as the quotas 
(i.e., for the calendar year). The regulations were meant to remain 
effective until revised. This correction clarifies that the regulations 
are final, not temporary, regulations.

Correction

    In FR Doc. 00-12993, published in the Federal Register issue of May 
24, 2000, on page 33486, in column 2, correct the DATES caption to read 
as follows:

DATES: Effective 0001 hours, May 24, 2000, except that the quotas 
identified in the preamble are effective 0001 hours, May 24, 2000, 
through 2400 hours, December 31, 2000.

Classification

    This action is required by 50 CFR part 648 and is exempt from 
review under E.O. 12866.

    Authority:  16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

    Dated: June 27, 2000.
