#  Enumeration of endangered marine and anadromous species.

**AGENCY:**

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

**ACTION:**

Correcting amendment.

**SUMMARY:**

This action corrects an omission in the final rule to designate critical habitat for three DPSs of rockfish from the Puget Sound/Georgia Basin. The final rule for “Designation of Critical Habitat for the Puget Sound/Georgia Basin Distinct Population Segments of Yelloweye Rockfish, Canary Rockfish and Bocaccio” failed to update the columns labeled “Critical habitat,” in the tables of threatened and endangered species to cross reference these new rules. Therefore, this document corrects the tables by citing the critical habitat designations in the columns of the tables.

**DATES:**

This final rule is effective February 11, 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 November 13, 2014 (79 FR 68041) to designate critical habitat for 3 DPSs of rockfishes, we did not update the columns labeled “Critical habitat” in the tables of threatened and endangered species in 50 CFR 223.102(e) and 50 CFR 224.101(h), respectively, to cross reference these new rules.

**List of Subjects**

Endangered and threatened species, Exports, Imports, Transportation.

Administrative practice and procedure, Endangered and threatened species, Exports, Imports, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Transportation.

2. In § 223.102(e), under the subheading “Fishes”, revise the table entries for “Rockfish, canary (Puget Sound/Georgia Basin DPS)”, and “Rockfish, yelloweye (Puget Sound/Georgia Basin DPS)” to read as follows:
