SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The final regulation that is the subject of this correction was intended to amend certain Fresh Market Sweet Corn Crop Provisions to be used in conjunction with the Common Crop Insurance Policy Basic Provisions for ease of use and consistency of terms.

Need for Correction

As published, the final regulation contained an error that may prove to be misleading and needs to be clarified. Section 16(b)(1) of the Fresh Market Sweet Corn Crop Provisions contained a parenthetical phrase that was inadvertently misplaced within the sentence so that it did not provide the correct computation to be used when computing the value of sweet corn production that is sold. This correction moves the parenthetical to the location it should have been to provide the correct computation.
