SUMMARY: On April 30, 2024, NMFS published a final rule to implement 
amendment 16 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Salmon Fisheries in 
the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska. The final rule included an 
incorrect length for drift gillnet gear and an unclear heading title.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NMFS final rule to implement amendment 
16 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Salmon Fisheries in the 
Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska (89 FR 34718, April 30, 2024) 
included an incorrect length for drift gillnet gear at Sec.  
679.118(f)(1) of 200 fathoms (1.1 kilometer). NMFS is now correcting 
the final rule to reflect the correct drift gillnet gear length of 200 
fathoms (365.76 meters).
    Further, the heading at Sec.  679.115(b)(5) incorrectly described 
the requirement to submit information in an eLandings delivery report 
as only applying to a Registered Salmon Receiver. NMFS is now modifying 
the heading for consistency with the following regulations to clarify 
that the eLandings delivery report requirement under Sec.  
679.115(b)(5) applies to both Registered Salmon Receivers and managers 
of salmon shoreside processors.
