published in the Federal Register on October 8, 2009, entitled

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Food and Nutrition Service published a 
final rule in the Federal Register, entitled ``Special Supplemental 
Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC): Vendor Cost 
Containment,'' 74 FR 51745, on October 8, 2009. Pages 51754 and 51758 
stated that two sentences would be added at the end of Sec.  246.12 
(g)(4)(i)(D). These two sentences were inadvertently omitted from the 
regulatory text of paragraph (g)(4)(i)(D) set forth in the final rule 
published on October 8, 2009. This final rule correction adds the two 
omitted sentences to Sec.  246.12 (g)(4)(i)(D).
