SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
published a final rule on April 8, 1998 that changed from three to two

the final rule contained two incorrect citations, the one in the
Supplementary Information, and the other in the rule. In the Background
statement of the Supplementary Information, the text read 44 CFR
202.206 and should have read 44 CFR 206.206. In the rule,
Sec. 206.206(e)(2) read 44 CFR 206.440 and should have read 44 CFR
206.206.

8, 1998, 63 FR 17108, is corrected as follows:
(a) On page 17108, in the third column, under Supplementary
