## Abstract

On December 26, 2001, NMFS published final specifications for the 2002 summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass fisheries and made preliminary adjustments to the 2002 commercial quotas for these fisheries. The preamble to the final rule clearly indicated that the minimum mesh threshold catch level for black sea bass is established at 500 lb (226.8 kg) from January through March, and to 100 lb (45.3 kg) from April through December. However, the regulation to implement this change was written incorrectly. The intent of this action is to correct the portion of the regulations that implements the minimum mesh threshold catch limit for black sea bass.
