ACTION: Proposed rule; emergency action; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On March 3, 2006, a proposed rule to implement an emergency 
action for the Northeast (NE) Multispecies Fishery Management Plan(FMP) 
was published in the Federal Register. The proposed rule was published 
with an incorrect end date for receipt of public comments. This 
document corrects that error.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Douglas W. Christel, Fishery Policy 
Analyst, (978) 281-9141, fax (978) 281-9135.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 3, 2006 (71 FR 11060), a proposed 
rule was published that would implement measures intended to 
immediately reduce the fishing mortality rate (F) on specific 
groundfish species, include differential days-at-sea (DAS) counting, 
reduce trip limits for specific species and recreational possession 
restrictions, continue two programs that would otherwise expire by the 
end of the 2005 fishing year on April 30, 2006, and implement other 
provisions. Due to confusion over the date the proposed rule was to be 
filed for public inspection at the Office of the Federal Register, the 
proposed rule was published with an incorrect comment period end date.
