SUMMARY: This document corrects the season closure dates in a final 
rule published November 30, 2004. Corrections concern the first 
trimester season closure dates for large coastal sharks (LCS) for the 
Gulf of Mexico and the first trimester season closure dates for the 
South Atlantic.

DATES: Effective January 1, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chris Rilling by phone: 301-713-2347 
or by fax: 301-713-1917.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 30, 2004, NMFS published in the 
Federal Register a final rule that established the opening and closure 
dates of the first trimester season for the Atlantic commercial shark 
fishery (69 FR 69537). In that rule, the closure dates for LCS in the 
Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic in Table 1 were inverted. This 
document corrects that error.
