SUMMARY: This document corrects final regulations published by the

revising the United States Standards for Grades of Peaches. The rule 
incorrectly established a tolerance of 2 percent for soft, or overripe

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of this correction 
revised Sec.  51.1214, Tolerances.

Need for Correction

    As published, the regulatory text in paragraphs (a)(2)(ii) and 
(b)(2)(ii) of Sec.  51.1214 inadvertently included soft and overripe

soft and overripe from the decay tolerance.
