## Abstract

We are amending the regulations regarding humane handling, care, treatment, and transportation of marine mammals to correct the designations of three footnotes. This action will result in all the footnotes in 9 CFR part 3, ``Standards,'' being numbered consecutively. We are also removing the authority citations that appear unnecessarily in three places in the regulations.
