SUMMARY: On May 10, 2012, we published a proposed rule to withdraw the
alternative tow time restriction and require all skimmer trawls,
pusher-head trawls, and wing nets (butterfly trawls) rigged for fishing
to use turtle excluder devices (TEDs) in their nets, and announced five
public hearings to be held in Morehead City, NC, Larose, LA, Belle
Chasse, LA, D'Iberville, MS, and Bayou La Batre, AL. In this document,
we are correcting the time for the public hearing to be held in Larose,
LA.

Background
On May 10, 2012 (77 FR 27411), we published a proposed rule, a
request for comments, and a notice of public hearings. However, the
time of the June 4, 2012, Larose, LA public hearing was listed wrong
and must be corrected.
Correction
Accordingly, the proposed rule, request for comments, and notice of
public hearings published on May 10, 2012 (77 FR 27411), is corrected
as follows: On page 27415, column 1, line 13, correct the public
hearing to read as ``2. June 4, 2012, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Larose, LA.''
Dated: May 11, 2012.
