SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

    On March, 23, 1999 (64 FR 14052), NMFS published a final rule which 
consolidated and reorganized the Endangered Species Act regulations as 
part of the President's Regulatory Reinvention Initiative. With that 
publication, NMFS inadvertently added an `and' between 50 CFR 223.206 
(d)(2)(ii)(A)(3) and (4). This addition inappropriately links the 
conditions of both paragraphs when, in fact, they were separate prior 
to the publication of the March 23, 1999, final rule.

List of Subjects in 50 CFR Part 223

    Administrative practice and procedure, Endangered and threatened 
species, Exports, Imports, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    Dated: October 9, 2001.
William T. Hogarth,
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries 
Service.

    Accordingly, 50 CFR part 223 is corrected by making the following 
correcting amendments:
