ACTION: Interim final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Rural Housing Service is correcting an interim final rule 
published on November 26, 2004, (69 FR 69032-69176). This action is 
taken to correct an error regarding the comment period and effective 
date of the rule as stated in the preamble.

DATES: Effective Date:
    November 26, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sue Harris-Green, Deputy Director, 
Multi-Family Housing Direct Loan Division, Rural Housing Service, U.S. 
Department of Agriculture, Room 1241, South Building, Stop 0781, 1400 
Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20250-0781, telephone (202) 
720-1660.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

    The preamble of the interim final rule lists a comment period and 
effective date that conflicts with the DATES section. This document 
corrects that information.

Correction of Publication

    In the interim rule document published November 26, 2004, (69 FR 
69032-69176), make the following correction.
    On page 69034, third column, revise the ``Discussion of the Interim 
Final Rule'' section to read as follows:

Discussion of the Interim Final Rule

    This interim final rule combines the provisions of the Streamlining 
and Consolidation of the sections 514, 515, 516, and 521 Multi-Family 
Housing (MFH) Programs Proposed Rule published on June 2, 2003, and the 
Operating Assistance for Off-Farm Migrant Farmworker Projects Proposed 
Rule published on November 2, 2000.
    RHS is issuing this regulation as an interim final rule, with an 
effective date 90 days after publication in the Federal Register, given 
that these regulatory changes are very extensive, affect all aspects of 
the programs, and seek to achieve significant streamlining of the 
programs' regulatory provisions. Delaying implementation of the rule to 
allow more time for further consideration would not be in the best 
interest of the direct MFH program or its recipients. All provisions of 
this regulation are adopted on an interim final basis, are subject to a 
30-day comment period, and will remain in effect until the Agency 
adopts a final rule.

    Dated: December 3, 2004.
Gilbert Gonzalez,
Acting Under Secretary, Rural Development.
