SUMMARY: Federal Register documents 97-8217 and 97-8275 in this issue
include provisions that implement the health insurance portability,
availability, and renewability provisions of the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
Those documents contain a technical error in amendments because of
differing effective dates. The rule with the earlier effective date
establishes a new part in a subchapter established by the rule with the
later date. This document corrects that error.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This correction is effective on April 8, 1997.
