SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NMFS final rule to implement amendment
16 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Salmon Fisheries in the
Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska (89 FR 34718, April 30, 2024)
included an incorrect length for drift gillnet gear at Sec.
679.118(f)(1) of 200 fathoms (1.1 kilometer). NMFS is now correcting
the final rule to reflect the correct drift gillnet gear length of 200
fathoms (365.76 meters).
Further, the heading at Sec. 679.115(b)(5) incorrectly described
the requirement to submit information in an eLandings delivery report
as only applying to a Registered Salmon Receiver. NMFS is now modifying
the heading for consistency with the following regulations to clarify
that the eLandings delivery report requirement under Sec.
679.115(b)(5) applies to both Registered Salmon Receivers and managers
of salmon shoreside processors.
