SUMMARY: NMFS is correcting dates referenced in the preamble to the 
proposed rule for Amendments 20 and 21 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish 
Fishery Management Plan (FMP), which published in the Federal Register 
on June 10, 2010. The dates being corrected refer to the decision date 
for the FMP amendments and the end date for the public comment period 
on the two amendments. Amendment 20 would establish a trawl 
rationalization program for the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery. 
Amendment 21 would establish fixed allocations for limited entry (LE) 
trawl participants.

DATES: Effective June 10, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

    Some dates referenced in the preamble to the proposed rule for the 
trawl rationalization program (75 FR 32994, June 10, 2010) regarding 
the decision date for the FMP amendments and the end date for the 
public comment period need to be corrected. In two places in the 
preamble to the proposed rule, NMFS had instructed the Federal Register 
to ``Insert date XX days after date of publication of the NOA in the 
FEDERAL REGISTER.'' The Federal Register inserted dates that were 
calculated from the proposed rule rather than the notice of 
availability (NOA) (75 FR 26702, May 12, 2010). NMFS has since learned 
that the Federal Register cannot calculate dates between two 
publications; in this case, between the NOA and the proposed rule. The 
erroneous dates show up on page 32994 of the published proposed rule as 
September 8, 2010, and August 9, 2010. They should read August 10, 
2010, and July 12, 2010, respectively.
    Accordingly, the preamble to the proposed rule, published on June 
10, 2010, at 75 FR 32994, on page 32994, third column, second paragraph 
after ``Electronic Access,'' is corrected to read as follows:
    ``Although this proposed rule would implement only certain portions 
of Amendments 20 and 21, NMFS is reviewing both Amendments 20 and 21 in 
their entirety. On May 12, 2010, NMFS published a notice of 
availability of Amendments 20 and 21, and--consistent with requirements 
of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA)--
must make a decision to approve, disapprove, or partially approve the 
amendments by August 10, 2010. Comments on the approvability of the 
amendments must be submitted to NMFS by July 12, 2010. This preamble 
provides information about the full contents of each amendment for the 
purposes of promoting informed public comment. Detailed provisions 
regarding features of the proposed rule are provided where applicable. 
In addition, section IV of this preamble highlights what the main 
regulatory changes would be.''
