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 peanut 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 contained errors which may prove 
to be misleading and need to be clarified. Segregation I peanuts should 
not have been included in the definition of ``average price per pound'' 
in section 1 of the peanut crop insurance provisions. Removal of 
Segregation I peanuts from this definition will keep quality adjustment 
for peanuts under section 14(f) consistent with previous crop years. In 
section 5 of the crop provisions, the spelling of ``Mullen'' County is 
being corrected to ``McMullen''.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on June 9, 1998, of the final 
regulation at 63 FR 31331-31337 is corrected as follows:

PART 457--[CORRECTED]


Sec. 457.134  [Corrected]

    On page 31335, in the third column, in Sec. 457.134, section 1, 
definition of ``average price per pound'', paragraph (2) is corrected 
to read: ``(2) The highest non-quota price election contained in the 
Special Provisions for all Segregation II and III peanuts not eligible 
to be valued as quota peanuts.''
    On page 31336, in the last column, in Sec. 457.134, section 5, the 
county name of ``Mullen'' in the table is corrected to read: 
``McMullen.''

    Signed in Washington, D.C., on September 24, 1998.

Manager, Federal Crop Insurance Corporation.
