Abstract
NMFS announces correction to Federal regulations for the West Coast groundfish fishery. This action corrects trip limits for vessels using multiple bottom trawl gears, which were published in a final rule.

This correction is intended to eliminate any confusion for the public that may have occurred as a result of prior incorrect NMFS publications.
