Need for Correction

    The regulations as published contain a nonexistent cross reference 
section which may confuse or mislead the public.
    In Sec.  3809.202(d), we have a cross reference to a nonexistent 
Sec.  3809.800(c) which could mislead or confuse the public. Therefore, 
we are changing the cross reference from Sec.  3809.800(c) to Sec.  
3809.802.
