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

SUMMARY: This document contains correcting amendments to the final 
amendments to the grazing regulations of the Bureau of Land Management, 
published on February 22, 1995, in the Federal Register [60 FR 9960], 
and to the pre-existing grazing regulations not affected by the 1995 
amendments.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 5, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Reed, 202-452-5069.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Interior is making 
correcting amendments to the final regulations pertaining to livestock 
grazing published in the Federal Register on February 22, 1995 [60 FR 
9960], and to the pre-existing grazing regulations not affected by the 
1995 amendments. The following revisions are made as editorial, and not 
substantive, changes. The changes include correction of erroneous 
cross-references, removal of an unnecessary and inaccurate paragraph 
and removal/replacement of several inaccurate or unnecessary acronyms, 
words and phrases.
    The Department of the Interior has determined that, because this 
rulemaking makes only correcting amendments to the final rulemaking 
published on February 22, 1995, it is a rule of organization, procedure 
and practice and does not require notice and an opportunity for public 
comment pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(A)). Therefore, these correcting amendments are published as a 
final rulemaking effective February 5, 1996. The Department of the 
Interior has determined that this rule is not a significant regulatory 
action under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and does not require 
an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of 
that order. It has been exempted from review by the Office of 
Management and Budget under that order. Neither an environmental impact 
analysis nor a regulatory flexibility analysis is required. This 
rulemaking does not contain information collection requirements that 
require approval by the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.
    The principal author of this final rulemaking is Matthew Reed, 
Regulatory Management Team, Bureau of Land Management.
