Fishing Permit; Correction

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of receipt of an application for an exempted fishing 
permit; correction; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to a notice of receipt of 
an application for an exempted fishing permit (EFP) published on April 
30, 2012, regarding the South Carolina Aquarium's application to 
collect display specimens. The notice stated that the EFP would 
authorize the South Carolina Aquarium to collect, with certain 
conditions, various species of reef fish, crabs, and lobsters in 
Federal waters off South Carolina and North Carolina. Within the 
preamble, spadefish was inadvertently omitted from the list of species 
proposed to be collected; as such, the total number of species to be 
collected also needs to be corrected. Additionally, the notice stated 
that the total number of species would be collected over a period of 5 
years; however, the notice for the EFP should state that the total 
number of species would be collected annually for 5 years. This rule 
corrects those errors. Due to these corrections, NMFS is extending the 
comment period until June 15, 2012.

DATES: Written comments must be received no later than 5 p.m., e.t., on 
June 15, 2012.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments on the application by either of the 
following methods:
     Email: [email protected]; include in the subject line 
of the email comment the following document identifier: South Carolina 
Aquarium EFP.
     Mail: Kate Michie, Southeast Regional Office, NMFS, 263 
13th Avenue South, St. Petersburg, FL 33701.
    The application and related documents are available for review upon 
written request to any of the above addresses.
