[Federal Register: August 13, 1999 (Volume 64, Number 156)] [Notices] [Page 44234] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr13au99-90] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service Conference of the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); Eleventh Regular Meeting; Proposed Resolutions and Agenda Items Being Considered; Species Being Considered for Amendments to the CITES Appendices; Public Meeting; Observer Information AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Notice, correction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In our July 8, 1999, Federal Register notice entitled ``Conference of the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); Eleventh Regular Meeting; Proposed Resolutions and Agenda Items Being Considered; Species Being Considered for Amendments to the CITES Appendices; Public Meeting; Observer Information'' (64 FR 36893), we make the following correction: On page 36909, in the fourth paragraph under item number 6 entitled ``Atlantic swordfish (Xiphias gladius),'' which appears in the second column on the page, the last sentence reading ``The plan also includes limited entry for the commercial fishery and a time/area closure to reduce juvenile swordfish mortality'' is corrected to read follows: ``The plan also includes limited entry for the commercial fishery. Additionally, the National Marine Fisheries Service is working on analyses to implement a time/area closure that would protect small swordfish. The National Marine Fisheries Service proposed a time/area closure to protect small swordfish in the draft FMP. However, in response to comments indicating the ineffectiveness of the proposed Florida Straits closure, as well as updated analyses, the National Marine Fisheries Service deferred the implementation of a time/area closure for protection of small swordfish until a later date, pending further analyses and review of more effective, and probably larger, time/area closures.''
