ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY:  This document corrects errors in the amendatory instructions 
and table titles of the final rule published in the Federal Register on 
July 29, 2003. That final rule implemented Amendment 72

[[Page 51712]]

to the Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering 
Sea and Aleutian Islands Area (Amendment 72) and Amendment 64 to the 
Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the Gulf of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final rule published in the Federal 
Register on July 29, 2003 (FR Doc. 03-19132) modified Table 14 to part 
679 (68 FR 9907). However, Table 14 is a collection of three tables, 
each of which is included in a separate appendix to 50 CFR part 679: 
Tables14a, 14b, and 14c. The language contained in amendatory 
instruction number 9, referenced only a change in Table 14a, although 
text was provided that effectively modified both 14a and 14b and left 
14c unchanged. This change did not reflect accurately the intended 
revision.
    The intent of the revision in the final rule was to add the 
contents of Table 14c to Table 14b, remove Table 14c, and modify the 
contents of both Table 14a and 14b. The net effect of this action would 
have been to combine the Washington State Port of Landing Codes into 
the table containing those codes for non-Alaska ports, including Canada 
and the States of California and Oregon, and remove the CDQ/IFQ Primary 
Ports for Vessel Clearance information from Tables 14a and 14b. This 
correction modifies the table titles to accurately reflect the intent 
of the final rule.
    In addition, the table title was inserted into the body of the 
table, rather than added to the table title. This action corrects the 
table titles.
