ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS corrects the final rule published on July 7, 2025, to 
implement the Pacific Halibut Recreational Quota Entity Program Fee 
Collection. The final rule inadvertently omitted an amendatory 
instruction to add the definition for ``Charter halibut permit 
holder''. This correction fixes that omission.

DATES: Effective on January 1, 2026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rule to implement the Pacific 
Halibut Recreational Quota Entity Program Fee Collection final rule (90 
FR 29774, July 7, 2025), NMFS modified the definitions in 50 CFR 300.61 
to include a definition for ``Charter halibut permit holder.'' However, 
NMFS mistakenly omitted the amendatory instruction to include this 
definition in the CFR. This action corrects that omission and ensures 
the regulations are consistent with the description and intent in the 
Pacific Halibut Recreational Quota Entity Program Fee Collection final 
rule (90 FR 29774, July 7, 2025).
