**ACTION:**
Final rule; correcting amendments.
**SUMMARY:**
This document contains a correction to the final rule consolidating regulations for fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska that was published in the *Federal Register* on June 19, 1996.
**DATES:**
Effective June 20, 2001.
**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**
Patsy A. Bearden, 907-586-7008.
**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
A final rule was published in the *Federal Register* on 61 FR 31227 (June 19, 1996), to consolidate six parts (671, 672, 673, 675, 676, and 677) in title 50 of the CFR into one new part (50 CFR part 679). A new prohibition to § 679.7 was created by combining the prohibitions from the formerly separate six parts. Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) fisheries prohibitions were placed into § 679.7 (f).
An error was made in citing the cross reference within one paragraph placed in the new part. The former prohibition § 676.16 (d) referred the reader to an exception at § 676.17. Section 676.17 (a), entitled “vessel clearance,” described vessel landing procedures and became § 679.5(l)(3) entitled “vessel clearance.” Section 676.17(b), entitled “Ten Percent Adjustment Policy,” described a requirement to harvest within the allocated IFQ permit amount. This second paragraph became § 679.40 (d). The former prohibition § 676.16 (d) became § 679.7 (f)(4).
The error occurs because the cross reference at § 679.7 (f)(4) incorrectly refers the reader to an exception at § 679.5 (l)(3); the correct cite is § 679.40 (d).
**List of Subjects in 50 CFR Part 679**
Alaska, Fisheries, Recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
**50 CFR Part 679**
Accordingly, 50 CFR part 679 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments:
**PART 679—FISHERIES OF THE EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE OFF ALASKA**
1. The authority citation for part 679 continues to read as follows:
**Authority:**
16 U.S.C. 773 *et seq.* , 1801 *et seq.* , and 1631 *et seq.*
§ 679.7
**50 CFR Part 679**
2. In § 679.7 (f)(4), remove “Except as provided in § 679.5 (l)(3)” and add in its place, “Except as provided in § 679.40 (d)”.
