RIN 0648-BC76


Endangered and Threatened Species; Designation of Critical 
Habitat for the Puget Sound/Georgia Basin Distinct Population Segments 
of Yelloweye Rockfish, Canary Rockfish and Bocaccio; Correction

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

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This action corrects an omission in the final rule to 
designate critical habitat for three DPSs of rockfish from the Puget 
Sound/Georgia Basin. The final rule for ``Designation of Critical 
Habitat for the Puget Sound/Georgia Basin Distinct Population Segments 
of Yelloweye Rockfish, Canary Rockfish and Bocaccio'' failed to update 
the columns labeled ``Critical habitat,'' in the tables of threatened 
and endangered species to cross reference these new rules. Therefore, 
this document corrects the tables by citing the critical habitat 
designations in the columns of the tables.

DATES: This final rule is effective February 11, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Information regarding this final rule may be obtained by 
contacting NMFS, Endangered Species Division, 1315 East West Highway, 
Silver Spring, MD 20910.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Dwayne Meadows, NMFS, Office of 
Protected Resources (301) 427-8403.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Need for Correction

    In a final rule NMFS published on November 13, 2014 (79 FR 68041) 
to designate critical habitat for 3 DPSs of rockfishes, we did not 
update the columns labeled ``Critical habitat'' in the tables of 
threatened and endangered species in 50 CFR 223.102(e) and 50 CFR 
224.101(h), respectively, to cross reference these new rules.
