## Abstract

On January 22, 2001, NMFS published an emergency interim rule, effective January 18, 2001, through July 17, 2001, which supersedes and revises certain provisions of the American Fisheries Act (AFA). On May 15, 2001, NMFS published a correction to the emergency interim rule. This action extends this emergency interim rule, as corrected for an additional 180 days, through January 14, 2002, to maintain requirements of the AFA for the 2001 fishing year. The intended effect of this action is to further the socioeconomic objectives of the AFA.
