This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Final rule; correcting amendments.
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.
Effective June 20, 2001.
Patsy A. Bearden, 907-586-7008.
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).
Alaska, Fisheries, Recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
Accordingly, 50 CFR part 679 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments:
1. The authority citation for part 679 continues to read as follows:
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)”.
Dated: June 14, 2001.
William T. Hogarth,
Acting Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
