ACTION: Temporary rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: NMFS corrects the temporary rule that published in the Federal 
Register on January 3, 2022, which announced the incorrect effective 
date of January 3, 2022, for the closure of the Atlantic southern zone 
to commercial harvest of Spanish mackerel. The correct effective date 
for the closure is January 5, 2022. NMFS identified several errors with 
references to incorrect dates, so the purpose of this correction is to 
fix those errors.

DATES: This correction to the temporary rule is effective on January 5, 
2022.
