SUMMARY: In a final rule that was published in the Federal Register on 
December 9, 2009 (74 FR 64998-65013, Docket No. APHIS-2006-0093), and 
effective on February 1, 2010, we amended the National Veterinary 
Accreditation Program regulations, adding new provisions and 
reorganizing others. In that final rule, we redesignated the section 
containing the standards for performing accredited veterinarian duties, 
but we neglected to update citations of that section elsewhere in 9 CFR 
chapter I. This document corrects those errors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In a final rule that was published in the Federal Register on 
December 9, 2009 (74 FR 64998-65013, Docket No. APHIS-2006-0093), and 
effective on February 1, 2010, we amended the National Veterinary 
Accreditation Program (NVAP) regulations, adding new provisions and 
reorganizing others.
    As part of the reorganization, we redesignated what had been Sec.  
161.3, ``Standards for performing accredited duties,'' as Sec.  161.4. 
However, we neglected to update two references to Sec.  161.3 elsewhere 
in the NVAP regulations, specifically in Sec.  162.11 and paragraph (a) 
of Sec.  162.12. In addition, paragraph (a) of 9 CFR 91.3, which 
discusses general export requirements for livestock, refers to 
certification of test results in accordance with paragraph (k) of Sec.  
161.3. This document corrects those citations to refer instead to Sec.  
161.4.
