SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We published in the Federal Register on July 
22, 2005 (70 FR 42259-42261, Docket No. 04-068-1), an interim rule that 
amended the bovine tuberculosis regulations (9 CFR part 77) by removing 
New Mexico from the list of modified accredited advanced States in 
Sec.  77.9(a) and adding part of New Mexico to the list of modified 
accredited advanced zones in Sec.  77.9(b) and the remainder of New 
Mexico to the list of accredited free zones in Sec.  77.9(b).
    There is one error in that document. In Sec.  77.9, paragraph (a) 
lists the States which meet the criteria for modified accredited 
advanced States. When we set out the revised Sec.  77.9(a), we 
inadvertently included California on the list of modified accredited 
advanced States. California was designated as an accredited free State 
in an interim rule published in the Federal Register on April 15, 2005 
(70 FR 19877-19878, Docket No. 05-010-1). This document corrects that 
error by removing California from the list in Sec.  77.9(a).
