50 CFR Part 679
[I.D. 111302E]
Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Correction
AGENCY:
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.
ACTION:
Technical correction.
SUMMARY:
NMFS is correcting typographic errors in Federal regulations. The intended effect of this action is regulatory accuracy, and it will have no effect on any person fishing in the EEZ for any species.
DATES:
Effective November 29, 2002.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Patsy A. Bearden, 907-586-7008.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This action corrects typographical errors in regulations codified at 50 CFR part 679. In § 679.2, the definition heading for "KIFQ actual ex-vessel value" is corrected by removing "KIFQ" and adding in its place "IFQ". Paragraph 679.7(f)(8)(ii)(B)( 2 ) is corrected by removing "Pacific code" and adding in its place "Pacific cod". This action will not have any substantive regulatory effect.
Classification
This action corrects typographic errors, a non-discretionary technical change with no substantive effects. Therefore, the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA, finds good cause to waive the requirement to provide prior notice and opportunity for public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), as such procedure would be unnecessary. Because prior notice and opportunity for comment is not required for this action by 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. are not applicable.
