SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of this correction 
represent a complete revision of the regulations governing claims under 
the FECA, which provides benefits to all civilian Federal employees and 
certain other groups of employees and individuals who are injured or 
killed while performing their jobs.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations contained several errors. 
Corrections were published Wednesday, December 23, 1998 (63 FR 71202). 
However, through oversight, an error remained in Sec. 10.220(g), where 
the reference to the number of days within which use of continuation of 
pay must begin is stated incorrectly.

    Accordingly, the Publication on November 25, 1998 of the final 
regulations, which were the subject of FR Doc. 98-31190, is corrected 
as follows:


Sec. 10.220  [Corrected]

    On page 65317, in the first column, paragraph (g) is corrected by 
replacing ``30'' with ``45''.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 5th day of March, 1999.

Assistant Secretary for Employment Standards Administration.
