SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On October 29, 2002, (67 FR 65902) NMFS published a final rule in the Federal Register to amend tier qualifications to include sablefish landings taken under the provisions of an exempted fishing permit (EFP) from 1984-1985 with setnet gear north of 38[deg] N. lat. Setnet EFP landings will be added to the current pot (trap) and longline landings to qualify a sablefish-endorsed permit for its tier assignment. This rule is intended to recognize historical sablefish landings made by current primary season participants.

Correction

In the FR Doc. 02-27360 in the issue of Tuesday, October 29, 2002 (67 FR 65902) make the following correction:

1. On page 65906, in the third column, under instruction 7.(i), remove `` and (g)(2).''

Dated: November 12, 2002. Rebecca Lent, Deputy Assistant Administrator for Regulatory Programs, National Marine Fisheries Service.
