Marine Mammals; Incidental Take During Specified Activities; Correction

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regulations to authorize the incidental, unintentional take of small numbers of polar bears and Pacific walrus during year-round oil and gas industry exploration, development, and production operations in the Beaufort Sea and adjacent coast of Alaska expired on December 15, 1998. Subsequent regulations that we issued should have been characterized as "adding" rather than "revising" these regulations. This correction makes clear that our intent was to add the regulations.
