Endangered and Threatened Species: Proposed Rule To Designate 
Critical Habitat for the Northwest Atlantic Ocean Loggerhead Sea Turtle 
Distinct Population Segment (DPS) and Proposed Determination Regarding 
Critical Habitat for the North Pacific Ocean Loggerhead DPS; Correction

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

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for comments; correction.

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

SUMMARY: In the proposed rule that we, the National Marine Fisheries 
Service (NMFS), published on July 18, 2013, to designate critical 
habitat for the loggerhead sea turtle Northwest Atlantic Ocean Distinct 
Population Segment (DPS) and make a determination regarding critical 
habitat for the loggerhead sea turtle in the North Pacific Ocean DPS, a 
map was omitted. This document corrects that oversight and adds the map 
LOGG-N-17. All other information in the July 18, 2013 document remains 
unchanged.

DATES: Comments and information regarding this proposed rule must be 
received by September 16, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Correction

    In the Proposed Rule to Designate Critical Habitat for the 
Northwest Atlantic Ocean Loggerhead Sea Turtle Distinct Population 
Segment (DPS) and Proposed Determination Regarding Critical Habitat for 
the North Pacific Ocean Loggerhead DPS that published at (78 FR 43005) 
on July 18, 2013, the map entitled, ``Proposed Loggerhead Critical 
Habitat: LOGG-N-17 (Nearshore Reproductive, Breeding, Migratory)'' was 
inadvertently omitted. This map should have appeared in the regulatory 
text for 50 CFR part 226.223 in numerical sequence with the maps of 
other units. This document corrects that oversight. All information in 
the proposed rule other than the additional map remains exactly the 
same as that previously published.

    This rule proposes designation of critical habitat for the 
threatened Northwest Atlantic Ocean Distinct Population Segment (DPS) 
of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), and also constitutes 
NMFS' proposed determination that there are no areas meeting the 
definition of ``critical habitat'' for the endangered North Pacific 
Ocean DPS of the loggerhead sea turtle.

    Authority:  16 U.S.C. 1533.
