SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Each year titles 46 and 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations are 
updated on October 1. That rule, which became effective September 30, 
2004, corrected organization names and addresses, revised authority 
citations for certain parts to reflect our move to the Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS) in March 2003, and made other technical and 
editorial corrections throughout titles 46 and 49. Neither that rule 
nor this rule makes any substantive change to the existing regulations.

Need for Correction

    The final rule that was published on September 30, 2004, contains 
errors which may prove to be misleading and need to be clarified. This 
rule makes those clarifications.
