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

SUMMARY: This action corrects one error in the background section of 
the final rule to implement 2024 and 2025 summer flounder and scup, and 
2024 black sea bass recreational management measures published in the 
Federal Register on April 26, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 26, 2024, we published a final rule 
for 2024 and 2025 summer flounder and scup, and 2024 black sea bass 
recreational management measures (89 FR 32374). That final rule 
included one error in the background section. On page 32374, the final 
rule states ``the 2024 and 2025 Federal recreational scup management 
measures are a 10-inch (25.4-centimeters (cm)) minimum fish size, a 50-
fish per person possession limit, and a year-round open season.'' This 
is incorrect; the Federal scup possession limit is 40 fish per person 
as correctly stated in regulatory text.

1. On page 32374, in the second column, the second paragraph under 
Background is corrected to read as follows:
    ``For scup, no changes to the Federal recreational management 
measures are being implemented. The 2024 and 2025 Federal recreational 
scup management measures are a 10-inch (25.4-centimeters (cm)) minimum 
fish size, a 40-fish per person possession limit, and a year-round open 
season.''
