[[Page 14470]]

documents MMS has incorporated by reference in the 30 CFR part 250 
regulations. The rulemaking also included revisions and reaffirmations 
of several documents. The table of documents incorporated by reference 
in Sec. 250.198(e) of the published final rule contained some minor 
errors and typographical mistakes which we are correcting.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations contain errors which may prove 
to be misleading and are in need of clarification.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on December 28, 1999, of the final 
regulations, which were the subject of FR Doc. 99-31869, is corrected 
as follows:

citation ``Sec. 250.1202(1)(4)'' is corrected to read

Sec. 250.198(e), the entries for four documents are corrected, and the
