50 CFR Part 679

[Docket No. 011128283-3075-03; I. D. 111401B]
RIN 0648-AN55


Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Correction

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

ACTION: Final rule; Technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects a cross reference in the regulatory 
text of 50 CFR part 679. The action is necessary to correct an error in 
a cross reference at Sec.  679.20(a)(5)(iii)(B).

DATES: Effective April 8, 2003.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A final rule, which published December 30, 
2002 (67 FR 79692), redesignated Sec.  679.20(a)(5)(ii) as Sec.  
679.20(a)(5)(iii). This paragraph redesignation affected a cross 
reference in existing Sec.  679.20(a)(5)(iii)(B) but the change was not 
made. This error is corrected by this action.

Need for Corrections

    This rule corrects a cross reference in Sec.  679.20(a)(5)(iii)(B) 
by removing the reference to ``(a)(5)(ii)(A)'' and adding in its place 
``(a)(5)(iii)(A).''

Classification

    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Assistant Administrator of 
Fisheries (AA), NOAA, finds good cause to waive prior notice and an 
opportunity for public comment. NOAA finds that prior notice and 
comment are unnecessary as this rule makes a minor, non-substantive 
change to correct a mis-citation to another section of the regulation. 
Because this action is not substantive, 5 U.S.C. 553(d) does not apply. 
Therefore, this final rule is not subject to a 30-day delay in 
effectiveness.
