#  Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Final Endangered Listing of Five Species of Sawfish Under the Endangered Species Act

**AGENCY:**

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

**ACTION:**

Final rule; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

This action corrects the amendatory instruction to a final rule published on December 12, 2014, which incorrectly instructed deletion of the U.S. Distinct Population Segment of smalltooth sawfish ( *Pristis pectinata* ) from the list of endangered species under the Endangered Species Act. This correction removes the incorrect language from the instruction.

**DATES:**

This final rule correction is effective January 12, 2015.

**ADDRESSES:**

Information regarding this final rule may be obtained by contacting NMFS, Endangered Species Division, 1315 East West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Dr. Dwayne Meadows, NMFS, Office of Protected Resources (301) 427-8403.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**Need for Correction**

In a final rule NMFS published on December 12, 2014 (79 FR 73977) to list 5 species of sawfishes as endangered, we incorrectly included an instruction in the regulatory text section to delete the entry for a prior listing for a different sawfish (the U.S. Distinct Population Segment of smalltooth sawfish ( *Pristis pectinata* )) from the list of endangered species under the Endangered Species Act in 50 CFR 224.101(h). On page 74005, in column 3, amendatory instruction 2.A. is corrected to reads as follows:

“2. In § 224.101, paragraph (h), amend the table by:

A. Removing the “Sawfish, largetooth” entry.”

Dated: December 19, 2014.

Samuel D. Rauch, III,

Deputy Assistant Administrator for Regulatory Programs, National Marine Fisheries Service.
