RIN 0648 AQ09


Pacific Halibut Fisheries; Subsistence Fishing; Correction

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

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects the final rule that implemented the 
Pacific Halibut Subsistence Program, which published on April 15, 2003.

DATES: Effective on May 15, 2003.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects the final rule, which 
published on April 15, 2003 (68 FR 18145) FR Doc. 03-8822, and which 
will become effective on May 15, 2003. The intext table entitled VII. 
NORTH PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL of 50 CFR part 600.725(v) was 
incorrect. This action corrects the heading by removing ``Allowable 
gear types'' and by adding in its place ``Authorized gear types.'' This 
action will not have any substantive regulatory effect.

Classification

    This action corrects a typographic error, a non-discretionary 
technical change with no substantive effects. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B), the Assistant Administrator of Fisheries (AA), NOAA, finds 
good cause to waive prior notice and comment procedures otherwise 
required by the section. NOAA finds that prior notice and comment are 
unnecessary as this final rule makes a minor, non-substantive change to 
correct wording in a heading of a table. NOAA finds that because of the 
technical, non-substantive nature of the correction, no particular 
public interest exists in this rule for which prior notice and comment 
would otherwise be needed. For the above reasons, the AA also finds 
good cause, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) not to delay for 30 days the 
effective date of this action.
