AGENCY: Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, USDA.
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulation
which was published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, December 10,
1997 (62 FR 65130-65177). The regulation revised the late and prevented
planting provisions in the Common Crop Insurance Policy Basic

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The final regulation that is the subject of this correction was
intended to provide policy changes that meet the needs of the insured,
are easier to administer, and delete repetitive provisions contained in
various Crop Provisions.
Need For Correction
As published, the regulations for cotton and extra long staple
(ELS) cotton, in the final rule for the ``Common Crop Insurance
Regulations; and Various Crop Insurance Provisions,'' contained errors
which may prove misleading and need to be clarified. The introductory
headings in the cotton crop insurance provisions and ELS cotton crop
insurance provisions state that the provisions are for the 1998 crop
year; however, the intended effect of the regulations was for the 1998
and succeeding crop years. These provisions were intended to reflect
that the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) would solicit
comments for establishing the 1999 and subsequent crop years prevented
planting coverage level percentage. A proposed rule has been drafted by
FCIC for publication in the Federal Register that includes solicitation
of comments on the prevented planting coverage level for cotton and ELS
cotton.
List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 457
Cotton, Crop Insurance, ELS cotton.
Accordingly, 7 CFR part 457 is corrected by making the following
correcting amendments:
