SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 10, 1996, the Rural Business-

after that date will not be considered for FY 1996 funding.

is corrected by removing ``and 310B (j)'' following the words ``Refer 
to section 310B (c)''.
    The second paragraph, column 3, is amended by removing the words 
``assisting public bodies and private'' and inserting the words 
``assisting the private''.

FISCAL YEAR 1996 PREAPPLICATION SUBMISSION: This subsection is amended 
by changing the dates ``July 1, 1996,'' ``July 15, 1996,'' and ``August

30, 1996,'' respectively.
