SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In the July 5, 1995 Federal Register, NHTSA published a 
supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to amend the Uniform 
Tire Quality Grading Standards (UTQGS)(49 CFR 575.104), extension of 
comment period and notice of public meeting (See 60 FR 34961). The July 
1995 document was published subsequent to a May 24, 1995 proposal to 
amend the UTQGS, with a closing date of July 10, 1995 to receive public 
comments.
    The July 1995 document announced the extension of the comment 
closing date to August 14, 1995, and announced that a public meeting 
would be held to supplement the written comments. The July 1995 
document also included a SNPRM, proposing an additional calculation to 
supplement the proposed rolling resistance regression equation so that 
the equation can be used to calculate a specific rolling resistance 
coefficient.

Need for Correction

    As published, the July 5, 1995 contained an error in the proposed 
regulatory text. Correction of the error is necessary to enable the 
public to make preparations for attending the public meeting and to 
comment effectively on the supplemental proposal.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on July 5, 1995, of the supplemental 
notice of proposed rulemaking and notice of public meeting, which were 
the subject of FR Doc. 95-1462, is changed and corrected as follows:
    On page 34961, in the third column, under DATES:, the first 
sentence is changed to read: ``The public meeting will be held July 28, 
1995, beginning at 9 a.m.''
    On page 34962, in the first column, under Requests for Extension of 
Comment Period and for Public Meeting, the fourth sentence should read: 
``A public meeting will be held on July 28, 1995 in Room 2230, Nassif 
Building, 400 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC.''
    On page 34964, in the third column, in the proposed regulatory text 
to amend 49 CFR part 575.104, under (Alternative 2 to paragraph (g)), 
paragraph (g)(3)(ii) should read as follows:
    (ii) Using the numbers in Example No. 2 in paragraph (g)(2) of this 
section: If Fn = 1,100 lbf, and Fr = 18 lbf, then
[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TP14JY95.000

    A negative value represents a 0 percent increase in fuel economy, 
and would be expressed as a fuel economy grade of ``0%''.

    Issued on: July 10, 1995.
