Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Steller Sea 
Lion Protection Measures and 2002 Harvest Specifications and Associated 
Management Measures for the Groundfish Fisheries off Alaska; Correction

AGENCY:  National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION:  Emergency interim rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY:  This document corrects the correction to an emergency interim 
rule published July 10, 2002, by adding information that should have 
been included in the correction. The emergency interim rule, published 
January 8, 2002, implements Steller sea lion protection measures and 
2002 harvest specifications for the Alaska groundfish fishery. The 
correction was needed to afford Atka mackerel fishery participants an 
additional opportunity to register for the 2002 B season harvest limit 
area (HLA) fishery in the Aleutian Islands subarea. Through an 
oversight, the correction to the emergency rule did not reference 
collection-of-information requirements subject to the Paperwork 
Reduction Act, which had been submitted under the January 8, 2002, 
emergency interim rule. Therefore, this document is being published to 
address this issue.

DATES: Effective July 10, 2002.

ADDRESSES:  Send comments on collection-of-information requirements to 
Sue Salveson, Assistant Regional Administrator, Sustainable Fisheries 
Division, Alaska Region, NMFS, P.O. Box 21668, Juneau, AK, 99802, Attn: 
Lori Durall and to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs 
(OIRA), Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Washington, DC 20503 
(Attn: NOAA Desk Officer).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Melanie Brown, NMFS, 907-586-7228 or 
e-mail at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An emergency interim rule was published 
January 8, 2002 (67 FR 956), amended and corrected May 1, 2002 (67 FR 
21600), extended May 16, 2002 (67 FR

[[Page 47473]]

3486), and corrected July 10, 2002 (67 FR 45672). The July 10, 2002, 
correction to the emergency interim rule implements a registration 
process for the 2002 B season HLA directed fishery for Atka mackerel 
and clarified the requirements for registration in the Atka mackerel 
HLA directed fishery for the B season starting September 1, 2002. 
However, its Classification section did not address the information 
requirement for the registration process.

Need for Correction

    This document inadvertently omitted required PRA text and must be 
corrected by adding it.

Correction

    Accordingly, the correction to the emergency rule on July 10, 2002, 
FR Doc. 02-17045 is further corrected as follows:
    On page 45672, column 2, under Classification add the following 
text as the first paragraph of the Classification section:

Classification

    The correction of an emergency interim rule published July 10, 2002 
(67 FR 45671, FR Doc. 02-17045), contained a collection-of-information 
requirement subject to the PRA that has been approved by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) under OMB control number 0648-0206. For the 
Federal Fisheries Permit registration, the estimated response time is 
21 minutes. The response-time estimate includes 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 this burden 
estimate, or any other aspect of this data collection, including 
suggestions for reducing the burden, to NMFS (see ADDRESSES) and to the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and 
Budget, Washington, DC 20503 (Attn: NOAA Desk Officer).
    Notwithstanding any other provisions of the law, no person is 
required to respond to, and no person shall 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.
