SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On September 11, 2001 (66 FR 47266), the Department published a list of Statutorily Mandated Difficult Development Areas (DDAs) and Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs) for Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Designations were made for all U.S. states and territories. An error affecting the Guam QCT designations was recently found. Five additional census tracts in Guam should have been designated as QCTs. No QCTs outside of Guam were affected by the error. No DDAs were affected by the error.

Accordingly, FR Doc 01-22566, a notice published in the Federal Register on September 11, 2001 (66 FR 47266), is corrected as follows:

On page 47370, the table under Nonmetropolitan Part of State: Guam, the entries are corrected to read as follows:
