SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department is making editorial corrections to its May 21, 1996,
final rule (61 FR 25409), amending 49 CFR parts 37 and 38, which
implement the Americans with Disabilities Act for transportation
services. The amendments concern such subjects as advance reservations
for paratransit service, updates to paratransit plans, requirements for
independent private schools, and other subjects.
Need for Correction
As published, the document contains errors which may prove to be
misleading and are in need of correction. First, In the preamble, the
last sentence of the first paragraph under the heading ``Visitor
Eligibility,'' beginning ``The Department will further amend * * *''
(61 FR 25414, first column) is incorrect, and should be disregarded.
The rule does not contain such an amendment,
In four instances, the amendatory language for certain provisions
of the rule left notice of proposed rulemaking language (e.g.,
``proposes to amend'' rather than ``amends'' or ``revises'') in place.
This document corrects these errors. Finally, the amendment to
Sec. 37.135(c)(1) contained an potentially misleading citation to
Secs. 37.137-139, which could cause confusion about the applicability
of the requirement of Secs. 37.137(c) for continuing public
participation in transit authorities' paratransit programs. The
citation is corrected to fix this problem.

regulations amending 49 CFR Parts 37 and 38, which were the subject of

(b), 37.138 and 37.139''.
5. On page 25416, in the third column, amendatory instruction 12,
relating to Appendix D to Part 37, is corrected to read as follows:
