Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico; Final Rule; Correction

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

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: NMFS issues a correction to the final rule, published in the Federal Register on July 13, 1999, which established procedures for the testing and certification of bycatch reduction devices for use in shrimp trawls in the exclusive economic zone in the Gulf of Mexico. This action corrects a prohibition by adding a cross reference applicable to the South Atlantic shrimp fishery that was inadvertently omitted, corrects an amendatory instruction, corrects an erroneous cross reference in the DATES section, and corrects an erroneous acronym in Sec. 622.41(h)(3).

DATES: Effective August 12, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rodney C. Dalton, 727-570-5325.

This rule corrects Sec. 622.7(aa) to incorporate the applicable cross reference regarding the South Atlantic shrimp fishery. Also, this rule corrects cross references in the DATES section. In addition, this rule corrects an acronym in Sec. 622.41(3)(i)(B) and (3)(ii).
