SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    EPA, USCG, MMS, RSPA, and OSHA published a notice in the Federal 
Register on June 5, 1996 (61 FR 28642), announcing the availability of 
the NRT's Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance (``one plan''). The 
guidance is intended to be used by facilities to prepare emergency 
response plans. The intent of the NRT is to provide a mechanism for 
consolidating multiple plans that facilities may have prepared to 
comply with various regulations into one functional emergency response 
plan or integrated contingency plan (ICP). The notice contained the 
suggested ICP outline as well as guidance on how to develop an ICP and 
demonstrate compliance with various regulatory requirements.

Need for Correction

    As published, the notice contained minor transcription errors that 
omitted certain information and should be corrected.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication of the notice on June 5, 1996 (61 FR 
28642) is corrected as follows:
    1. On page 28660, the chart within Attachment 3 labeled ``DOT/RSPA 
FRP (49 CFR Part 194)'' is replaced by the following chart that removes
