SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final rules that are the subject of these corrections revised 
the respiratory listings to reflect advances in medical knowledge, 
treatment, and methods of evaluating respiratory impairments.
    The final rules, as published, contain a number of errors and 
omissions in several tables and cross-references which require 
correction.
    Accordingly, the publication on October 7, 1993, of the final 
rules, which were the subject of FR Doc. 93-24238, is corrected as 
follows:

    2. On page 52361, in the third column, in listing 3.00E, the first
