Supplementary Information
In a September 1997 Report to Congress, NMFS identified north Atlantic swordfish, west Atlantic Bluefin tuna, and large coastal sharks as overfished. The HMS FMP, including a final environmental impact statement, was published in April, 1999, to comply with provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act for fisheries identified as overfished, and the final rule implementing actions included in the HMS FMP and Amendment 1 to the Atlantic Billfish Fishery Management Plan was published on May 28, 1999 (64 FR 29090). Since the publication of the HMS FMP, a number of typographical mistakes and other errors have been noted throughout its three volumes. The errata sheet corrects those errors that were noted as of November 19, 1999.
