SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The final regulation that is the subject of this correction converted the cabbage pilot crop insurance program to a permanent crop insurance regulation to be used in conjunction with the Common Crop Insurance Policy Basic Provisions for ease of use and consistency of terms. It was published February, 26, 2009 (74 FR 8705-8713).

Need for Correction

As published, the final regulation contained an error which may prove to be misleading and needs to be clarified. Section 12(c) of the Cabbage Crop Insurance Provisions mistakenly included a reference to section 14(a)(3) (Your Duties) of the Basic Provisions. This specific reference to section 14(a)(3) (Your Duties) of the Basic Provisions should have been referenced in section 12(e) of the Cabbage Crop Insurance Provisions. The correct reference in section 12(c) of the Cabbage Crop Insurance Provisions should be to the provisions contained in section 14 of the Basic Provisions.
