ACTION: Correction to interim final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the interim final rule 
published on December 4, 1995, (60 FR 62172-62181). The document 
concerned removal of U.S. grade standards and other selected 
regulations from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 4, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Eric Forman, Deputy Director, Fruit and Vegetable Division, USDA, AMS, 
Room 2085-S, P.O. Box 96456, Washington, DC 20090-6456, telephone (202) 
690-0262.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    As published, the interim final rule removed most of the voluntary 
U.S. grade standards and other selected regulations covering a number 
of agricultural commodities (dairy products, tobacco, wool, mohair, 
fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, livestock, meats and meat 
products, eggs, and poultry and rabbit products). This includes all the 
standards except those which are currently in the rulemaking process, 
incorporated by reference in marketing orders/agreements appearing at 7 
CFR Parts 900 through 999, or those used to implement government price 
support. Those grade standard regulations will continue to appear in 
the CFR. Standards for Applies (7 CFR 51.300-51.339), Applies for 
Processing (7 CFR 51.340-51.354), and Pears for Canning (7 CFR 51.1345-
51.1374) should not have been removed because of requirements under the 
Export Apple and Pear Act (7 U.S.C. 581, et seq.).

Correction of Publication

    1. Accordingly, in the December 4, 1995, publication, on page 62174 
of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, in the table titled ``Administered by 
the Fresh Products Branch, Fruit and Vegetable Division, 51.300-339, 
Subpart--United States Standards for Grades of Apples, 51.340-354, 
Subpart--United States Standards for Grades of Apples for Processing, 
and 51.1354-1374, Subpart--United States Standards for Pears for 
Canning, should not have been included. These three entities should 
have appeared in the table on page 62176 as standards that are being 
retained.

PART 51--[CORRECTED]

    2. On page 62180, in the first column, under part 51, the first 5 
lines in amendatory instruction 6 are corrected to read as follows:
    6. In part 51, Sec. 51.100, Secs. 51.355 through 51.464, 
Secs. 51.495 through 51.556, Secs. 51.810 through 51.869, Secs. 51.925 
through 51.986, Secs. 51.1030 through 51.1109, Secs. 51.1375 through 
51.1387, * * *
