Supplementary information
In the final rule to implement Amendment 36 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (Groundfish FMP) (91 FR 46000, July 22, 2026), NMFS mistakenly omitted portions of three amendatory instructions: 2.b., 11., and 24.e. These omissions include one set of asterisks, italics, and one subparagraph numeral in the regulatory text, among others. This action corrects these omissions to the amendatory instructions and ensures the regulations are consistent with the intent of the final rule to implement Amendment 36 to the Groundfish FMP.
