SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections 
updated and corrected pipeline safety program procedures by amending 
nomenclature, addresses, typographical errors, and penalty amounts. 
These editorial amendments imposed no new procedural requirements.

Need for Correction

    The final regulations contained four errors. The amendment number 
for Part 192, Amdt. 192-74, was previously assigned to the final rule 
in Docket No. PS-135. The next number in the series of amendments to 
Part 192 should be Amdt. 192-75. In Sec. 190.205, the word ``owner'' 
was omitted. The amount in Sec. 190.223(a) should be ``$25,000''. And, 
in Sec. 198.35, the citation should be ``49 U.S.C. 60101 et seq.''

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on April 26, 1996, of the final 
regulations (PS-145), which was the subject of FR Doc. 96-10282, is 
corrected as follows:
    1. On page 18512, in the first column, in the heading, the 
amendment number ``192-74'' is corrected to read ``192-75''.
    2. On page 18513, third column, Sec. 190.205 is corrected to read 
as follows:


Sec. 190.205   Warning letters.

    Upon determining that a probable violation of 49 U.S.C. 60101 et 
seq. or any regulation or order issued thereunder has occurred, the 
Associate Administrator, OPS, may issue a Warning Letter notifying the 
owner or operator of the probable violation and advising the owner or 
operator to correct it or be subject to enforcement action under 
Secs. 190.207 through 190.235.


Sec. 190.223   [Corrected]

    3. On page 18515, first column, in Sec. 190.223(a) the figure 
``$10,000'' is corrected to read ``$25,000''.
    4. On Page 18518, second column, Sec. 198.35 is corrected to read 
as follows:


Sec. 198.35   Grants conditioned on adoption of one-call damage 
prevention program.

    In allocating grants to State agencies under the pipeline safety 
laws, (49 U.S.C. 60101 et seq.), the Secretary considers whether a 
State has adopted or is seeking to adopt a one-call damage prevention 
program in accordance with Sec. 198.37. If a State has not adopted or 
is not seeking to adopt such program, the State agency may not receive 
the full reimbursement to which it would otherwise be entitled.

    Issued in Washington, DC. on June 24, 1996.
