SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Corrections

    1. The direct final rule incorrectly listed the amendment numbers 
for Part 190 and Part 192 at the beginning of the direct final rule. 
The correct amendment numbers are 190-8, and 192-84.
    2. In updating the American Society for Testing and Materials 
(ASTM) Designation 2513, the direct final rule inadvertently removed 
the reference to the ASTM 2513-87 edition for Sec. 192.63(a)(1). This 
document corrects this reference to reflect the appropriate standard, 
ASTM Designation D 2513 ``Standard Specification of Thermoplastic Gas 
Pressure Pipe, Tubing and Fittings'' (D 2513-87 edition for 
Sec. 192.63(a)(1), otherwise D 2513-96a).
    RSPA regrets any confusion this error may have caused.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on February 17, 1998, of the final 
rule (63 FR 7721) is corrected as follows:
    1. On page 7721, in the first column, in the docket number, 
amendment number ``190-7'' is corrected to read ``190-8'' and amendment 
number ``172-83'' is corrected to read ``192-84.''
    2. On page 7723, in the second column, under paragraph C (10), the 
words ``D 2513-87 edition for Sec. 192.63(a)(1), otherwise'' are added 
before ``D 2513-96a.''

    Issued in Washington, DC, on July 10, 1998.

Deputy Administrator.
