    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    Background
    
        This rule establishes a ``CA Utility'' quality requirement, based 
    on minimum quality standards established under the California 
    Agriculture Code, with a limitation on the amount of fruit meeting U.S. 
    No. 1 or higher grade requirements that may be contained in the utility 
    pack. This final rule also requires that containers of nectarines and 
    peaches meeting the ``CA Utility'' quality requirement be clearly 
    marked ``CA Utility.''
    
    Need for Correction
    
        In the final rule, FR Doc. 96-10758, published May 1, 1996, the 
    last sentence in section (a)(1)(ii) was inadvertently omitted, 
    therefore, the existing language may prove to be misleading and is in 
    need of clarification.
    
    Correction of Publication
    
        Accordingly, in FR Doc. 96-10758, page 19164, second column section 
    916.356, paragraph (a)(1)(ii) is corrected to read as follows:
    
    
    Sec. 916.356  [Corrected]
    
        (a) * * *
        (ii) Free from serious damage due to skin breaks, cuts, growth 
    cracks, bruises, or other causes. Damage to any nectarine is serious 
    when it causes a waste of 10 percent or more, by volume, of the 
    individual nectarine.
    * * * * *
        Dated: May 20, 1996.

    Director, Fruit and Vegetable Division.
