SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the temporary rule that published in the 
Federal Register on November 27, 2015 (80 FR 74001), the effective date 
of the rule and the fishing year for the commercial sector of Gulf

subzone of the Gulf EEZ were stated incorrectly.

Correction

    The correct effective date for the temporary rule is November 28, 
2015, until 12:01 a.m., local time, on October 1, 2016.

2016, the end of the current fishing year, to commercial fishing for 
Gulf migratory group king mackerel.''
