Abstract
NMFS is correcting several sections of regulations that contain minor errors. These errors resulted from NMFS' consolidation of six parts in title 50 of the CFR, related to the Alaska regulations, into one CFR part in response to the President's Regulatory Reform Initiative, and from an earlier consolidation and reorganization of management measures for use in the groundfish fisheries of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI). NMFS is also revising terms that have changed resulting from recent changes in legislation and a reorganization within NMFS.
