BILLING CODE 4910-06-P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 50 CFR Part 229 RIN 0648-BC90 Taking of Marine Mammals Incidental to Commercial Fishing Operations; Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan Regulations AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce. ACTION: Final rule; correction. SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final rule to amend regulations implementing the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan, which published June 27, 2014, with an effective date of August 26, 2014.
DATES: Effective August 26, 2014. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kate Swails, NMFS, Greater Atlantic Region, 978-282-8481, *Kate.Swails@noaa.gov;* or Kristy Long, NMFS Office of Protected Resources, 301-427-8440, *Kristy.Long@noaa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final rule contains errors concerning the delineation of the boundary of the Cape Cod Bay Restricted Management Area. In addition, the final rule incorrectly omitted New Hampshire state waters from the definition of the Northern Inshore State Waters Management Area.
This correction notice provides clarification regarding the correct boundaries of these management areas. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for the purposes of Executive Order 12866. The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA, finds good cause under the Administrative Procedures Act to waive notice and opportunity for public comments as it is unnecessary for a non-substantive correcting amendment. Corrections Accordingly, the final rule, in FR Doc. 2014-14936, published on June 27, 2014, in 79 FR 36586, is corrected as follows: 1.
