Pacific; Pelagic Fisheries; Hawaii-based 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 a correction to the final regulations 
that were published in the Federal Register on December 10, 2009, and 
are effective January 11, 2010. This change ensures that the process is 
preserved for closing the Hawaii-based shallow-set longline fishery as 
a result of the fishery reaching interaction limits for sea turtles.

DATES: Effective January 11, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Adam Bailey, NMFS Pacific Islands 
Region, 808-944-2248.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final rule published on December 10, 
2009, and effective January 11, 2010 (74 FR 65480), revised annual 
interaction limits for sea turtles, among other actions.
    The amendatory instructions that are the subject of this correction 
refer to Sec.  665.33 in Title 50 of the CFR. In the amendatory 
instructions in the published final rule (74 FR 65480), instruction 7 
revised 50 CFR 665.33(b), relating to the annual limits on sea turtle 
interactions. The instruction inadvertently omitted paragraph 
designation ``(b)(1)'' relating specifically to the interaction limits. 
Because of the error, paragraph (b)(2), relating to the process for 
closing the fishery if a sea turtle interaction limit is reached, would 
be inadvertently deleted when this rule is made effective on January 
11, 2010, if not corrected.
    This correction makes one change to the amendatory instructions to 
accurately reflect effective CFR parts as of January 11, 2010. In the 
amendatory instruction for Sec.  665.33, the phrase, ''...and revise 
paragraphs (b) and (f) to read as follows:'', is revised to read 
''...and revise paragraphs (b)(1) and (f) to read as follows:''.

Correction

    Accordingly, in the final rule (FR Doc. No. E9-29444) published on 
December 10, 2009 (74 FR 65480), on page 65480, column 1, amendatory 
instruction number 7 is revised to read as follows:
Sec.  665.33 [Amended]
    7. In Sec.  665.33, remove and reserve paragraphs (a), (c), and 
(e), and revise paragraphs (b)(1) and (f) to read as follows:

    Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

    Dated: January 5, 2010.
James W. Balsiger,
Acting Assistant Administrator For Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries 
Service.
