ACTION: Proposed rule, correction and reopening of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: NMFS published a proposed rule on May 5, 2010, amending the 
Fisheries Finance Program's programmatic regulations. The proposed rule 
was published with an incorrect Regulatory Identification Number (RIN) 
in the ADDRESSES section. Members of the public using the incorrect RIN 
may have had difficulty posting comments at http://www.regulations.gov. 
In order to allow anyone adversely affected by the mistake to submit 
comments, NMFS reopens the comment period and requests additional 
comments for two weeks.

DATES: NMFS invites the public to comment on the proposed rule 
published at 75 FR 24549. Comments must be submitted in writing on or 
before September 8, 2010.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments on the proposed rule, identified by 
RIN 0648-AY16 by any one of the following methods:
     Electronic Submissions: Submit all electronic public 
comments via the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov.

     Mail: Earl Bennett, Acting Chief, Financial Services 
Division, NMFS, Attn: F/MB5, 1315 East-West Highway, SSMC3, Silver

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Need for Correction

    On May 5, 2010, NMFS published a proposed rule at 75 FR 24549, 
which can be viewed at http://www.fakr.noaa.gov/prules/75fr24549.pdf.
    The ADDRESSES section of the proposed rule contained an incorrect 
RIN. Although members of the public submitting comments by mail, fax 
and e-mail to the addresses listed in the proposed rule would have been 
unaffected, those attempting to post comments at http://www.regulations.gov may have been hindered from posting comments 
because of this error. In order to allow anyone adversely affected by 
the mistake the opportunity to comment, NMFS will take comments for an 
additional two weeks.
    The new sentence in the ADDRESSES section of column one in 75 FR 
24550 should read: ``You may submit comments, identified by 0648-AY16, 
by any one of the following methods:''
