United States Standards for Milled Rice; Correction

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations 7 
CFR part 868, which were published in the Federal Register of September

Milled Rice which established a new level of milling degree, ``hard 
milled'', to the existing milling requirements and eliminated reference 
to ``lightly milled'' from the milling requirements of U.S. Standards 
for Milled Rice.

DATES: Effective June 29, 2005.

address: [email protected] or telephone her at (202) 720-0252.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 30, 2002, the Grain Inspection, 
Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) published in the Federal 
Register (67 FR 61249) a direct final rule that revised the United 
States Standards for Milled Rice to establish a new level of milling 
degree, ``hard milled,'' to the existing milling requirements and to 
eliminate reference to ``lightly milled'' from the milling

requirements of U.S. Standards for Milled Rice.

Need for Correction

    As published, the direct final rule contains errors which may prove 
to be confusing and needs to be clarified. In Section 868.310(f) U.S. 
Sample grade, the word ``re'' should read ``or''; in Sec.  868.311, the 
correct wording for that section should read ``Grades and grade 
requirements for the class Second Head Milled Rice. (See also Sec.  
868.315)'', instead of ``Grades and grade requirements for the class 
Second Head Milled Rice. (See also Sec.  868.305.)''; and in Sec.  
868.312, the correct wording for that section should read ``Grades and 
grade requirements for the class Screenings Milled Rice. (See also 
Sec.  868.315.)'', instead of ``Grades and grade requirements for the 
class Brewers Milled Rice. (See also Sec.  868.315).''
