-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the final rule
published on June 26, 1996, (FR Doc. 96-16304). The final rule amended
the marketing order (order) for California almonds and made
corresponding changes to the administrative rules and regulations

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This final rule amended the order for California almonds. The
amendments changed order provisions regarding: five definitions in the
order; Almond Board of California nomination procedures, terms of
office, qualification procedures, eligibility requirements, voting and
tenure requirements; modifying creditable advertising provisions;
revising volume control procedures; requiring handlers to maintain
records in the State of California; authorizing interest or late
payment charges on assessments paid late; providing for periodic
continuance referenda; and made necessary conforming changes. That rule
overlooked a change to an administrative reporting regulation which
corresponded to the change made to the crop year definition. This rule
makes that change.
Need for Correction
As published, the final regulations contain errors which may prove
to be misleading and are in need of clarification.
