    Background
    
        The final regulations that are the subject of this correction 
    represent a complete revision of the regulations governing claims under 
    the FECA, which provides benefits to all civilian Federal employees and 
    certain other groups of employees and individuals who are injured or 
    killed while performing their jobs.
    
    Need for Correction
    
        As published, the final regulations contained several errors. 
    Corrections were published Wednesday, December 23, 1998 (63 FR 71202). 
    However, through oversight, an error remained in Sec. 10.220(g), where 
    the reference to the number of days within which use of continuation of 
    pay must begin is stated incorrectly.
    
    Correction of Publication
    
        Accordingly, the Publication on November 25, 1998 of the final 
    regulations, which were the subject of FR Doc. 98-31190, is corrected 
    as follows:
    
    
    Sec. 10.220  [Corrected]
    
        On page 65317, in the first column, paragraph (g) is corrected by 
    replacing ``30'' with ``45''.
    
        Signed at Washington, DC, this 5th day of March, 1999.
    Bernard E. Anderson,
    Assistant Secretary for Employment Standards Administration.
    T. Michael Kerr,
    Deputy Assistant Secretary for Worker's Compensation.
