SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Agriculture (Department) published a final rule 
in the Federal Register on February 19, 2002 [67 FR 7261], establishing 
referendum procedures for the referendum on the implementation of the 
Hass Avocado Promotion, Research, and Information Order [7 CFR Part 
1219]. The proposed Order is authorized under the Hass Avocado 
Promotion, Research, and Information Act of 2000 [7 U.S.C. 7801-7813].

Need for Correction

    As published, there was a typographical error in the final rule. In 
Sec. 1219.101(b) the definition of eligible importer, the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule number identifying Hass avocados is incorrect. 
Accordingly, this correction document contains the correct Hass avocado 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule number.

Correction

    FR Doc. 02-3796, published on February 19, 2002 [67 FR 7261], is 
corrected as follows:


Sec. 1219.101  [Corrected]

    1. On page 7264, in the second column, in the Definitions for 
Subpart B--Referendum Procedures, section number Sec. 1219.101(b) is 
correctly revised to read as follows:
    (b) Eligible importer means any person who imported Hass avocados 
that are identified by the number 0804.40.00.10 in the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States for at least one year prior to the 
referendum. Importation occurs when Hass avocados originating outside 
of the United States are released from custody by the U.S. Customs 
Service and introduced into the stream of commerce in the United 
States. Included are persons who hold title to foreign-produced Hass 
avocados immediately upon release by the U.S. Customs Service, as well 
as any persons who act on behalf of others, as agents or brokers, to 
secure the release of Hass avocados from the U.S. Customs Service when 
such Hass avocados are entered or
