ACTION: Correcting amendments.

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations (I.D. 103097B), which were published in the Federal Register of Thursday, June 25, 1998, (63 FR 34606). The regulations implemented management measures that restrict the frequency of limited entry permit transfers to once every 12 months, with transfers taking effect on the first day of a cumulative landings limit period. This rule also required the sorting of groundfish species with trip limits, size limits, quotas, or harvest guidelines at the point of landing, and the retention of landings receipts on board the vessel that has made those landings.

DATES: Effective July 27, 1998.
