**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

NMFS published a final rule on November 22, 2023, announcing changes to Federal requirements for service providers in the Pacific Coast Groundfish electronic monitoring program. This final rule also made minor administrative changes to other groundfish regulations to correct typos and update web addresses and other outdated references (88 FR 81354). This rule is effective December 22, 2023.

This action corrects the amendatory instructions to 50 CFR part 660 to correct additional typos that were left out of the original final rule; specifically changing the word “coop” to “co-op” when referring to harvest cooperatives.
