SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rule to implement Amendment 36
to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (Groundfish
FMP) (91 FR 46000, July 22, 2026), NMFS mistakenly omitted portions of
three amendatory instructions: 2.b., 11., and 24.e. These omissions
include one set of asterisks, italics, and one subparagraph numeral in
the regulatory text, among others. This action corrects these omissions
to the amendatory instructions and ensures the regulations are
consistent with the intent of the final rule to implement Amendment 36
to the Groundfish FMP.
