[Docket No. LS-96-001]


Pork Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Order-- 
Increase in Importer Assessments

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule; Correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service is correcting a final rule 
published on June 4, 1996, 61 FR 29002 concerning the Pork Promotion, 
Research, and Consumer Information Order (Order).

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 5, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ralph L. Tapp, Chief, Marketing 
Programs Branch, 202/720-1115.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Pursuant to the Pork Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information 
Act (Act) of 1985 (7 U.S.C. 4801-4819) and the Order (7 CFR Part 1230) 
issued thereunder, the final rule increased the amount of the 
assessment per pound due on imported pork and pork products to reflect 
an increase in the 1995 five-market average price for domestic barrows 
and gilts. This action brought the equivalent market value of the live 
animals from which such imported pork and pork products were derived in 
line with the market values of domestic porcine animals. These changes 
will facilitate the continued collection of assessments on imported 
porcine animals, pork, and pork products.

Need for Correction

    The final rule as published contains an error in the chart listing 
the cents per kilogram assessments for each of the 33 HTS numbers in 
the table listing assessments for imported pork and pork products. The 
proposed rule published in the March 22, 1996, Federal Register (61 FR 
11777) listed the cents per kilogram assessments correctly.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, in FR Doc 96-13833, published June 4, 1996, on page 
28003, in the second column, in Sec. 1230.110, paragraph (b) is 
corrected to read as follows:


Sec. 1230.110  [Corrected]

* * * * *
    (b) The following HTS categories of imported pork and pork products 
are subject to assessment at the rates specified.
