Fisheries in the Western Pacific; Western Pacific Pelagic 
Fisheries; Hawaii Shallow-Set Longline Fishery; Correction

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

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations 
that were published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2007, and 
are effective March 28, 2007. The published rule amended CFR text that 
is effective only through March 19, 2007. This correction changes the 
amendatory instructions in the final rule to accurately reflect 
effective CFR parts as of March 28, 2007. These changes ensure that the 
7-day delay in effectiveness is permanently removed when closing the 
Hawaii-based shallow-set longline fishery as a result of reaching 
interaction limits for sea turtles.

DATES: Effective March 28, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bob Harman, NMFS Pacific Islands 
Region, 808-944-2271.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final rule published on February 26, 
2007 (72 FR 8289) and effective March 28, 2007, removes the 7-day delay 
in effectiveness when closing the Hawaii-based shallow-set longline 
fishery as a result of reaching interaction limits for sea turtles. It 
allows for an immediate closure of the fishery to enhance protection of 
sea turtles.
    The amendatory instructions that are the subject of this correction 
refer to Sec.  665.22 and Sec.  665.33 in the CFR. The amendatory 
instructions in the published final rule (72 FR 8289) were written to 
amend CFR text that is effective only through March 19, 2007. This 
correction makes two changes to the amendatory instructions to 
accurately reflect effective CFR parts as of March 28, 2007. In the 
amendatory instruction for Sec.  665.22, ``revise'' is replaced with 
``add''. This change is necessary to insert revisions of paragraphs 
(ss) and (tt) that were effective through March 19, 2007. In amendatory 
instruction for Sec.  665.33, the phrase, ``remove paragraphs 
(b)(2)(iii) and (iv)'', is removed, since the subject paragraphs will 
no longer be effective on March 28, 2007.
