SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

In FR Doc. E8-30686, published on December 24, 2008 (73 FR 78997), there were technical errors that are identified and corrected in the Correction of Errors section below. The correction of errors identified in this correction notice do not change any policies contained in the final rule published December 24, 2008, and thus are effective as if they had been included in the final rule.

II. Summary of Errors

HHS published a final rule entitled “Regulation on the Organizational Integrity of Entities That Are Implementing Programs and Activities Under the Leadership Act.” This final rule provided for creation of a new Part 88 of 45 CFR. A final rule published on December 19, 2008 (73 FR 78071), entitled “Ensuring That Department of Health and Human Services Funds Do Not Support Coercive or Discriminatory Policies or Practices in Violation of Federal Law,” however, also purported to create a new Part 88. We are correcting this error by creating a new Part 89 and moving the regulatory text from the final rule published on December 24, 2008 (73 FR 78997) to Part 89. We are correcting text throughout the preamble and regulatory text to reflect this move.
