SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    GIPSA published a document (FR Doc. 96-10305) in the Federal 
Register of April 26, 1996 (61 FR 18486) revising the United States 
Standards for Barley. The final rule became effective June 1, 1997 (May 
16, 1996, 61 FR 24669). The final rule revised, among other things, 
Table 4 of 7 CFR 800.86(c)(2) and inadvertently deleted portions of 
that table from the CFR. This correction returns to the CFR those 
deleted portions of Table 4 as they appeared at the time of the April 
26, 1996, publication.
