NMFS announces a correction to the August 1, 2002, interim final rule implementing restrictions specified in the Settlement Agreement Among Certain Parties (Settlement Agreement), which was ordered to be implemented by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (Court) in a Remedial Order (Order) issued on May 23, 2002. The Interim Final Rule contained an inadvertent error in the coordinates defining the seasonal Gulf of Maine (GOM) Rolling Closure Area II under the Northeast (NE) Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP). The intent of this action is to correct the inadvertent error to the GOM Rolling Closure Area II coordinates. This action is being taken by NMFS under the authority of section 305(c) and (d) of the Magnuson- Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act).
