SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS published a final rule on November 22, 
2023, announcing changes to Federal requirements for service providers 
in the Pacific Coast Groundfish electronic monitoring program. This 
final rule also made minor administrative changes to other groundfish 
regulations to correct typos and update web addresses and other 
outdated references (88 FR 81354). This rule is effective December 22, 
2023.
    This action corrects the amendatory instructions to 50 CFR part 660 
to correct additional typos that were left out of the original final 
rule; specifically changing the word ``coop'' to ``co-op'' when 
referring to harvest cooperatives. This correction is necessary to 
modify the incorrect regulatory instruction so that the implementing 
regulations are accurate.
