Title: Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery; Framework Adjustment 21; Correction 
Abstract: On June 28, 2010, NMFS published in the Federal Register the final rule to Framework Adjustment 21 (Framework 21) to the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery Management Plan (FMP), that implemented management measures for the 2010 scallop fishing year (FY). Following publication, NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) identified that the regulations implemented through the Framework 21 contain a few inadvertent errors, omissions, and ambiguities that are inconsistent with the information stated in the preamble of the final rule. In addition, this rule inadvertently deleted regulations pertaining to limited access general category (LAGC) possession and landing limits, which were implemented through the final rule to Amendment 11 to the Scallop FMP that published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2008. This correcting amendment corrects these errors and reinstates the Amendment 11 prohibitory language regarding LAGC possession and landing limits.
