SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS published an extension and revision of 
emergency interim rules in the Federal Register on June 23, 2000 (65 FR 
39107). Emergency interim rules, published on January 5, 2000, and 
January 28, 2000, were extended through December 24, 2000, and January 
16, 2001, respectively. These actions included collection-of-
information requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA); 
however, PRA statements were inadvertently omitted.

Correction

    In the final rule Emergency Interim Rules to Implement the American 
Fisheries Act; Extension of Expiration Dates published in 65 FR 39107, 
June 23, 2000, FR Doc. 00-15857, on page 39110, add to the 
Classification section in column 2 following the paragraph beginning 
``Because prior notice and opportunity for public comment * * *'' the 
following two paragraphs to read as follows:
    Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is 
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty 
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the 
requirements of the PRA, unless that collection of information displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.
    This rule extends collection-of-information requirements subject to 
the PRA. These requirements have been approved by OMB under control 
number 0648-0393. Public reporting burden for these collections of 
information is estimated to average 2 hours per permit application for 
a mothership, inshore processor, inshore cooperative, or catcher vessel 
permit; and 30 minutes for a replacement vessel permit application. 
These estimates include the time for reviewing instructions, searching 
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and 
completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments 
regarding these burden estimates, or any other aspect of these data 
collections, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to NMFS 
(see ADDRESSES) and to OMB at the Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC, 20503 
(Attention: NOAA Desk Officer).

    Dated: July 19, 2000.

Deputy Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries 
Service.
