SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulation that is the subject of this correction was 
intended to provide policy changes to better meet the needs of the 
insured and include the current Fresh Market Tomato (Guaranteed 
Production Plan) Crop Insurance Regulations with the Common Crop 
Insurance Policy for ease of use and consistency of terms.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulation contains errors which may prove 
misleading. The dates for the end of the insurance period are being 
corrected to designate October 31, instead of November 20, for 
California and September 20 in all other states. A November 20 ending 
date creates an insurance period that is too long in California and 
significantly increases the risk of loss for FCIC.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on May 1, 1997, of the final 
regulation at 62 FR 23628-23634 is corrected as follows:

PART 457--[CORRECTED]


Sec. 457.128  [Corrected]

    On page 23633, in the second column, in Sec. 457.128, section 
10(b)(7) is corrected to read as follows ``October 31 of the crop year 
in California and September 20 in all other states.''
    On page 23634, in the first column, in Sec. 457.128, section 
13(c)(1)(iii)(A) is corrected to read as follows: ``With a 
classification size of 6 x 7 (2\8/32\ inch minimum diameter) or larger 
and that would grade eighty-five percent (85%) or better U.S. No. 1 for 
types other than cherry, roma, or plum; or''
