SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final rule to implement the 2001 specifications for the 
Atlantic mackerel, squid, and butterfish fisheries was published on 
March 2, 2001 (66 FR 13024). In that rule, amendatory instruction 2 
incorrectly stated that Sec. 648.21(e) was revised. This amendatory 
instruction should have indicated that Sec. 648.21 (f) was revised. 
This document corrects the error contained in the March 2, 2001, final 
rule by moving the text of the current Sec. 648.21 (e) to Sec. 648.21 
(f) and reinstating the original language in Sec. 648.21 (e). For the 
convenience of the user, amendatory instruction 2 and the related 
regulatory text are reprinted in their entirety.

Correction

    Accordingly, the publication on March 2, 2001, of the 2001 
specifications for the Atlantic mackerel, squid, and butterfish 
fisheries (I.D. 102600B), which appeared in the final regulations, was 
the subject of document FR Doc. 01-5133, is corrected as follows:

PART 648--[CORRECTED]

    On page 13028, first and second columns, amendatory instruction 2 
and the regulatory text following it are corrected to read as follows:
