NOAA's correcting a typo in the addresses section of a proposed rule it published on March 18, 2026. The original rule would authorize the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to incidentally take marine mammals during fisheries research activities. This correction doesn't change the substance of the rule, it's just a fix to where people should send comments or correspondence.
