SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Honey Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Act (Act) 
provides that the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) conduct a 
referendum every 5 years among honey producers, producer-packers, and 
importers to determine whether they favor continuance of the the Honey 
Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Order (Order). The last 
continuance referendum was conducted in August 1991, and, in compliance 
with the Act, a continuance referendum will be held August 1996.
    In the July 2, 1996, Federal Register at 61 FR 34385, the 
Department of Agriculture (USDA) ordered that a referendum be held, set 
forth the authority for conducting a continuance referendum, announced 
the dates of the the voting period and the representative period for 
establishing voter eligibility, the referendum agents, and the 
procedures to be used to conduct the referendum. However, the section 
of the Act which provides that a continuance referendum must be 
conducted was incorrectly listed as section 13(d)(1) rather than 
section 13(b)(1).

Need for Correction

    In the final rule, the section of the Act which provides that a 
continuance referendum be conducted was incorrectly listed as section 
13(d)(1) rather than section 13(b)(1).

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, in the July 2, 1996, publication FR Doc.96-16839, page 
34386, in the first column, under the heading ``Referendum Order'', in 
the first line of the second paragraph the words ``Section 13(d)(1)'' 
are removed and the words ``Section 13(b)(1)'' are added in their 
place.

    Dated: July 15, 1996.
Robert C. Keeney,
Director, Fruit and Vegetable Division.
