SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
GIPSA published a document (FR Doc. 96-10305) in the Federal
Register of April 26, 1996 (61 FR 18486) revising the United States
Standards for Barley. The final rule became effective June 1, 1997 (May
16, 1996, 61 FR 24669). The final rule revised, among other things,
Table 4 of 7 CFR 800.86(c)(2) and inadvertently deleted portions of
that table from the CFR. This correction returns to the CFR those
deleted portions of Table 4 as they appeared at the time of the April
26, 1996, publication.
