Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.
ACTION: Stock status determinations; Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare
an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS); request for comments;
correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects an October 7, 2011, notice that
announced the stock status of several Atlantic shark stocks and
announced NMFS' intent to amend the 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory
Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) via the rulemaking process
to rebuild these shark stocks and end overfishing, as necessary. The
notice provided an incorrect date for a scoping meeting held in
Galloway, NJ. This document provides the correct date. The address and
time for the scoping meeting remain the same. Although the meeting
already occurred, it is important that the date be accurate for HMS'
records.
DATES: The correct date for the Galloway, NJ, scoping meeting is
Tuesday, October 11, 2011.
ADDRESSES: The scoping meeting was held at the Dolce Seaview Resort at
401 South New York Road, Galloway, New Jersey 08205.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karyl Brewster-Geisz or Peter Cooper
at (301) 427-8503, or Jackie Wilson at (240) 338-3936.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
NMFS announced the stock status of sandbar, dusky, and Atlantic and
Gulf of Mexico blacknose shark stocks in a Federal Register notice on
October 7, 2011 (76 FR 62331). The notice also announced NMFS' intent
to undertake rulemaking to rebuild and/or end overfishing of these
Atlantic shark stocks and to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) to assess the potential effects on the human and natural
environment resulting from this rulemaking. The notice also announced
that NMFS is in the scoping phase of the rulemaking process and
notified the public of five public scoping meetings and one conference
call to provide the opportunity for public comment on potential shark
management measures. Further details regarding the public scoping
meetings are provided in the October 7, 2011, notice and are not
repeated here.
Need for Correction
In the original Federal Register notice, the date for the Galloway,
NJ, public scoping meeting contains an error and is in need of
correction.
Correction
Accordingly, in the October 7, 2011 (76 FR 62331) notice (Doc.
2011-26021)--on page 62334, in Table 2, column 1, row 1--the date
``October 12, 2011'' is corrected to read as follows:
``October 11, 2011.''
Dated: October 19, 2011.

Acting Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, National Marine
