Abstract
NMFS published a final rule on December 23, 2021, announcing routine inseason adjustments to management measures in the commercial and recreational groundfish fisheries. In implementing these changes, NMFS inadvertently removed the trip limit for California black rockfish between 42[deg] N latitude and 40[deg]10' N latitude in Table 2 (North) and Table 3 (North). This correction is necessary so that the implementing regulations are accurate.

SUMMARY: NMFS published a final rule on December 23, 2021, announcing
routine inseason adjustments to management measures in the commercial

NMFS inadvertently removed the trip limit for California black rockfish
between 42[deg] N latitude and 40[deg]10' N latitude in Table 2 (North)
and Table 3 (North). This correction is necessary so that the
implementing regulations are accurate.
DATES: This correction is effective January 1, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS published a final rule on December 23,
2021, announcing routine inseason adjustments to management measures in
the commercial and recreational groundfish fisheries. This rule is
effective January 1, 2022.
The December 23, 2021, final rule implemented changes to trip
limits for sablefish north of 36[deg] N latitude and for lingcod north
of 42[deg] N latitude. Additionally, the final rule announced new sub-
bag limits and sub-trip limits, in recreational and non-trawl
commercial fisheries respectively, for two nearshore species, quillback
rockfish and copper rockfish, as well as the shelf species vermillion
rockfish.
In implementing these changes, NMFS inadvertently removed the trip
limit for California black rockfish between 42[deg] N latitude and
40[deg]10' N latitude in Table 2 (North) and Table 3 (North) of part
660, subpart E and F, respectively. This correction reinstates this
trip limit as Line 22 of both tables. No other changes are made via
this correction document. This correction is necessary so that the
implementing regulations are accurate.
