AGENCY:

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

We are correcting an error in the amendatory instructions in our final rule that removed the Plant Protection and Quarantine Treatment Manual from the list of materials incorporated by reference and added treatment schedules and related requirements from that document to our phytosanitary treatments regulations. The final rule was effective and published in the Federal Register on June 7, 2005 (70 FR 33264-33326, Docket No. 02-019-1).

EFFECTIVE DATE:

March 2, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ms. Meredith C. Jones, Regulatory Coordination Specialist, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 141, Riverdale, MD 20737-1236; [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In a final rule effective and published in the Federal Register on June 7, 2005 (70 FR 33264-33326, Docket No. 02-019-1), we amended the plant health regulations by adding to 7 CFR part 305 treatment schedules and related requirements that had appeared in the Plant Protection and Quarantine Treatment Manual and by removing the Plant Protection and Quarantine Treatment Manual from the list of materials incorporated by reference into the regulations.

In the final rule, it was our intention to amend the regulations by, among other things, adding gender-neutral references in the third sentence of § 319.8. However, our amendatory instruction that was intended to accomplish this change was erroneous. This document corrects that error.

• Coffee
• Cotton
• Fruits
• Imports
• Logs
• Nursery stock
• Plant diseases and pests
• Quarantine
• Reporting and recordkeeping requirements

Accordingly, 7 CFR part 319 is corrected by making the following correcting amendment:
