Register on December 22, 2022 announcing that the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Marine
Fisheries (NCDMF) applied in due form for a permit pursuant to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS published a notice in the Federal
Register on December 22, 2022 (87 FR 78659) announcing that the NCDMF
applied in due form for a permit pursuant to the ESA. NCDMF's
application includes a conservation plan designed to minimize and
mitigate take of endangered or threatened species. The permit
application is for the incidental take of ESA-listed sea turtles and
sturgeon associated with the otherwise lawful gill net fisheries
operating in the inshore waters of North Carolina. NMFS provided the
notice in order to allow other agencies and the public an opportunity
to review and comment on the application materials.
The notice incorrectly stated: ``NCDMF's monitoring program is
largely funded through state appropriations and is supplemented through
other sources such as the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics
Program and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.'' (87 FR 78659,
December 22, 2022; 87 FR 78661, December 22, 2022).
While NCDMF's sampling programs are largely funded through state
appropriations and are supplemented through other sources such as the
Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics Program and the National Fish
and Wildlife Foundation, the NCDMF Observer Program is funded
completely by the North Carolina Commercial Fishing Resource Fund,
where the funds come from an increase in NCDMF's commercial fishing
license fees (G.S. 113-173.1). This information is correctly presented
in the NCDMF's application, which is available for download and review
at <a href="https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/endangered-species-conservation/incidental-take-permits">https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/endangered-species-conservation/incidental-take-permits</a> and at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>.
The application is also available upon request (see FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT).
