SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

    In a final rule NMFS published on December 12, 2014 (79 FR 73977) 
to list 5 species of sawfishes as endangered, we incorrectly included 
an instruction in the regulatory text section to delete the entry for a 
prior listing for a different sawfish (the U.S. Distinct Population 
Segment of smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata)) from the list of 
endangered species under the Endangered Species Act in 50 CFR 
224.101(h). On page 74005, in column 3, amendatory instruction 2.A. is 
corrected to reads as follows:
    ``2. In Sec.  224.101, paragraph (h), amend the table by:
    A. Removing the ``Sawfish, largetooth'' entry.''

    Dated: December 19, 2014.

Deputy Assistant Administrator for Regulatory Programs, National Marine 
Fisheries Service.
