SUMMARY: This document contains a correction regarding the preamble to
the interim rules governing access, portability and renewability
requirements for group health plans and issuers of health insurance
coverage offered in connection with a group health plan that were
published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. A sentence
in the preamble to the interim rules was inadvertently dropped. This
document adds this sentence.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The last sentence of the first paragraph of
the preamble to the interim rules entitled section ``M. Paperwork
Reduction Act--Department of Labor and Department of the Treasury'' is
inadvertently missing. This document adds this sentence to the preamble
to the interim rules. The sentence reads ``An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid control number assigned by the
Office of Management and Budget''.
